PHP OR ASP?
The IT world is still debating over it! Believe it or not many companies select either one of these without even analyzing their requirement. Most of the time its left to an individual's personal liking!
We do not believe in decisions made without proper reasons to support it. "This is what my neighbor uses" is never going to be the reason behind taking a decision in selecting a language for your web development.
We analyze various aspects like cost, speed, database handling, base language, internet server etc. before recommending clients for a specific language and server.
