We've spent years building up collections of libraries of code which work.

We love the code libraries that Yahoo have provided to us all freely to make our application work on more browsers and more mobile phones. We love the analytics software Google have provided to us all freely.
We know these systems will work, will be efficient and work on a huge scale.
We know what works and, if it's new, whether it's likely to keep working in the future. Openness is vital ? to provide a simple, slick and involving user experience all the widgets have to be capable of talking to each other: we have a rule that, however good a widget someone's just found, if it can't talk to our existing systems ? or can't be simply modified to do so ? then it's out.
We have a comprehensive portfolio of widgets all available for your new web project, including:
If it's not on the list, then let us know. Chances are we've probably been looking into it recently, and if not we always love to find new challenges.
