Our Founders

We only focus on what we do best, web technology.

As a specialist technology company, we understand that our clients require long-term relationships so go the extra mile to ensure client confidence is at maximum. Switch Apps is an intentionally small company, we are here to stay and have built a sustainable, yet flexible business that ticks all the right boxes.

A Jersey registered company, Switch Apps are Microsoft Partners and members of the Apple Development Program, covered by comprehensive professional indemnity and cyber liability insurance. Providing the highest level of technical competence, we build web sites that enable our clients to flourish and perform online.

A further example of our commitment to our clients confidence is our web site content management system, SiteBuilder. This has been built entirely in-house at Switch Apps, so we have full working knowledge of the system and 100% control over its future direction. SiteBuilder has built-in version history, administration activity monitoring, optional SSL security, hosted on our high specification dedicated servers and is your website backed up daily?.... no, the data on our clients web sites is backed up hourly.

We take every effort to please our clients.

 

Switch Apps St Helier Jersey Office

 

 

Switch Apps was founded in 2004 as VisualEye, offering website development alongside interactive photography. We rapidly became the outsourced website team for many design agencies, providing bespoke website applications and management of open-source CMS systems.

A review of our key services, local and open-source technologies highlighted an opportunity to redefine our offering and focus on website development and emerging technologies. Research confirmed a requirement for a website content management system for design agencies, backed up by supporting technology services. The first version of VisualEdit CMS was released in September 2006.

Two years later we felt a company rebrand would create a firmer platform for our key product and to support future products, Switch Apps and our website platform SiteBuilder was born.

SiteBuilder has rapidly blossomed into a product powering all scales of businesses, professionals, independent website designers and design agencies. While our supporting services have enabled design agencies to offer their clients richer technologies and business tools to capitalise on today’s online marketplace and opportunities.

Switch Apps continues to develop the SiteBuilder product alongside a host of standalone products in development, while also completing customised projects. Staying on top of web technologies means we can offer our agency partners cutting edge solutions such as mobile specific web development and apps for iPhone, iPad, Blackberry and Android devices.

The future looks very bright with Switch Apps.
