Rich Internet Applications, also known as RIAs, are Web applications that have the features and functionality of traditional desktop applications. They use interactive technologies such as Flash and Ajax to provide the user with a highly interactive experience and a rich user interface. RIAs transfer the processing necessary for the user interface to the user’s computer while keeping the data processing on the Web application server. Data can be processed quicker and more seamlessly without the typical stop-and-click setup of most Web applications.

Rich Internet Application Development

We have created several custom Rich Internet Applications for a variety of industries. These include self-contained components such as real-time stock tickers to complex integrated systems.

E-commerce RIA Development

One of our most popular Rich Internet Applications in the shopping cart module is the one we created for Gregory’s Groves. Since most of their shipments are for gift orders, Gregory’s old checkout process involved several steps of selecting shipping addresses, gift messages and gift boxes for each order. We streamlined this process by creating a custom RIA shopping cart. Now the checkout process is much faster and more seamless, the user can edit order information without having to click back and next. As a result, shopping cart abandonment has decreased and revenue has increased.
