DHDev Services

Data collection 

Data collection is often the basis for a DH project and doing it right from the start can add to the insights produced by the project.

DHDev can assist in designing the data model structures as well as with building an efficient and highly usable data collection, maintenance and display tool, probably on the cloud.  

Using open standards and opensource frameworks, the tools built by DHDev will remain maintainable and extendable long after the research budget is spent...

Advanced web applications

Countless DH projects end up as GitHub repositories. Advanced web/cloud technologies enable building custom  sites and applications to display datasets and give them a continued life, for display, interaction, and enhancement.

Cloud tech has various options for cheap and simple hosting with zero maintenance.

Custom Digital Tools

DH projects will often require custom tools for analysis, manipulation or display.  DHDev can build tools for mapping, XML manipulation, various types of analysis.  

The tools can be a quick fix for a task that will otherwise require a lot of resources to perform, or a heavy duty analysis package tying together various libraries and display tech.

And anything in between.
