An Introduction to GenXml Internet Services
Started in March 2007 by Michael Taylor, GenXml has remained passionate about creating beautiful and functional
websites and online systems, serving the needs of our clients and their customers appropriately and simply.
We have over 15 years experience in the Internet industry and know what works to keep our solutions
simple and easy to maintain. Keeping up to date with the latest trends in web design and development technologies,
we have served the needs of 11 clients in South Africa and abroad.
Our clients range from schools and educational institutions to large broadcasting companies in
South Africa and the US. We have built large websites that integrate with 3rd party systems to serve text and video content
to thousands of people each month, managed by dozens of content and video editors daily. We have also designed and developed
smaller websites viewed by just a few hundred people each month, managed by a handful of content editors.
Working closely with departments within our client base, we have trained and supported over 50 content editors and web
developers to streamline content management and further developments and enhancements on the websites. Our philosophy of
co-operation with other designers and developers means that our clients remain empowered to grow their website or service
without hinderance. We let our professionalism and level of expertise keep our clients, not binding contracts.
Our Philosophy
Over the last 2 years we have worked on 10 successful websites and web applications. From designing and developing entire
websites, to collaborating with teams and 3rd party service providers, our philosophy has always been:
- To keep up to date with the latest technologies and trends without forfeiting tried and trusted methods.
- To find the finest and simplest solution to any requirement.
- To serve the needs of our clients first.
- To make our client's business our business, so we can best understand their customer needs.
- And to empower our clients with full ownership of the systems we design and develop.
Our Technologies
The primary technologies we utilize are Microsoft based. Database systems are modeled and developed using Microsoft
SQL Server. Websites are developed using Microsoft ASP.NET. Sites are hosted using Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Server),
v6 and v7.
We build our websites using standards-compliant CSS stylesheets and XHTML script, to ensure that all our websites are
compatible with the latest browsers on all operating systems. Our standards of excellence are high in this regard so that
more potential customers can be reached by our clients.
