Clients Speak

Working with elKore has been a relief and breath of 'development' fresh air! After working with a couple of different firms on our project and being sorely disappointed, elKore stepped in and provided an unmatched level of professionalism and enthusiasm for our project. We have yet to come across another firm that strives to not only establish sound development philosophies, but actually implement those philosophies in the work they produce. elKore also takes the extra time to impart their methodologies to their clients and so our experience was not only smooth, but enlightening. If you are looking to have your project (no matter how simple or complex) handled by the best, then look no further than elKore! iCraftSingles

Businesses like ours require two things from a web development firm - innovation and on time delivery from start to finish. Elkore has been an excellent partner delivering on both. I'm glad I went with a firm that could get the job done right the first time.Johnny Deas, Founder, Financial Literacy Music

Finding a good development partner is difficult, finding a great one is next to impossible. With elKore as our partner we have met or exceeded every deadline and client expectation. Their level of professionalism and their customer first approach is a fresh change from the attitude and response normally associated with web development firms. Mark Stone, The Info Group, Dallas

Our website was outdated. We needed a new look and stronger presence on the web. Elkore came in with lots of great ideas and options. They were very patient, asked questions about our business, listened closely to what we wanted and created a site we are very proud of. They managed the project for us, updated us frequently on status, hit every deadline and came in on budget. What else can I say! I consider Elkore a strategic partner and will use them for all of our web development needs. Tim Elkins, Chief Information Officer, PrimeLending

2004 was my first opportunity to work with Elkore. They did a great job asking the right questions so that they fully understood what our goal was and offered a solution that addressed what we needed exactly without an abundance of expense or bells and whistles that other companies were trying to sell. The project came in on time and much to my surprise within the amount quoted.

Because of the previous positive experience, we have reconnected with Elkore to work on our current projects. Whether it is developing a customized application using our database or getting creative with our email campaigns, this company has always delivered on-time and on budget. I can't ask for more than that. Troy Perkins, President, Rentsmart Inc.

Silverlight Development

Companies are mentioning the following challenges with finding experienced Silverlight development candidates:

• Currently there is a shortage of experienced Silverlight talent and candidates with experience in developing commercial/enterprise Silverlight applications
• Development of Silverlight applications typically requires both design and technical skills (which makes it even more challenging to find a matching candidate).

A few specific challenges mentioned by LinkedIn members in a discussion "How much time needed to master Silverlight for Visual Studio C# programmer":

"For new Silverlight programmers at least a few weeks / one month to get going and up to a year or more to get good at it. There are a lot of new things to learn in order to master Silverlight and people that begin with it tend to ignore certain aspects like data binding and MvvM. People that start with their first Silverlight application will often come up with bad design and implementation decisions. If this is a short term project that may be fine. If this is a long term project, those bad decision could have a significant long term impact on the cost of maintenance, test and change."

"For most C# (included myself) is easy to master Silverlight programming aspects...In my company there are Silverlight Design experts and Silverlight Programmer experts...
For some programmers could be an issue to learn and master the design aspects of Silverlight."

"6 months is a good time. But more than a programmer it is designers effort."

Our team offers the best value for our clients with our proven development process, faster development time, lower cost and ability to effectively handle work that requires diverse technical and design skills.
