The Company Development Solutions has been providing Freelance Embedded Software and Hardware Design since 1998. Recently our services have been extended to include Web Design, Brochure and Newsletter Design, Product Literature Design and general Documentation support. This is due to a partnership being created with my wife who wanted to start back to work after having our children. She is an experienced software developer with great creativity skills that have come into their own in the design of Web Sites and Brochures. We have proved to be an indispensable resource to our clients, and have a "can-do" attitude towards solving problems. This consistently demonstrates our high level of expertise and ensures deliverables are met, while at the same time providing a professional and fun attitude to our work. What Drives Us Our philosophy and fundamental objective is to provide a high quality and reliable service to our customers, at a very competitive rate, and to use technology to our advantage. We provide an excellent quality of work, and always do our best to provide the highest quality results. We have a personal attitude and commitment for our customers, along with the highest level of professionalism. This is what makes us a unique embedded service provider. We believe that a company should be able to design the value added part of a system and not get bogged down in the general design. This gives products that are much more creative and user friendly, and engineering staff can then spend their time on the areas that their company is good at. The way we help with this is to provide the hardware solution with a board support package that includes the main hardware driver's and middle-ware for the main interfaces (RTOS, Display, User Input, USB, etc.) Our Services We can support customers on a time and material basis or a fixed cost model if the work required is well defined.
