The Apache Difference
Rather than listing a bunch of technologies or expounding the virtues of our "award-winning team of creative individuals" we thought you'd prefer it if we simply showed you what we do differently.

In-house development
There is a growing trend for UK-based companies to outsource their programming, typically to developing countries such as India and China. The purpose is of course to cut costs as a result of the lower standards of living in these countries. With a typical salary for an Indian programmer being less than 5K per annum, there is no denying that it does this.
However, in our experience the quality always suffers. International time differences, language barriers and misunderstandings of cultural nuances all hamper the development process, and for this reason it is something we are simply not prepared to do.
At Apache, all development and programming is undertaken in-house in the UK.

Our own hosting
Many web design agencies rely on third party companies to manage and maintain their servers. We have our own servers, housed in one of the leading data centres in London, which we manage and maintain directly. This gives us far more flexibility in what we can offer our clients.
You just want a small chunk of web space on a shared server? Fine, we have plenty of space.
You want a cluster of multiple-CPU servers with RAID 10 configurations? Sure, not a problem. -
Over 20 years' experience
We have been in business for over 20 years, constantly learning, adapting and evolving. We are proud to have been there at the birth of the Internet as we know it, and have helped nurse it through the early years and seen it mature into a truly wondrous thing!
