Are You ‘Too Hot’ for Your Web Developer?
By Kurt Knippel,
Project Manager / VP of Production
Ever get the cold shoulder from a web developer who thinks your brand, identity or messaging is too polarizing? In today’s highly splintered and politicized world, we’ve heard about web developers “playing it safe” and refusing work out of concern they might alienate future clients or harm their reputation by virtue of association. 
At eXcelisys, the only reputation we care about is our reputation for building lightning fast, mobile-friendly, easy-to-navigate, custom-tailored websites with rock-solid reliability and unrivaled uptimes.
If your developer flinches at your content, is slow to make updates, or suggests you “tone it down,” the problem is not you, it’s your developer. At eXcelisys, we’re not afraid to take on clients who might be considered “too hot to handle” by other vendors. 
Maybe you’re a firebrand political commentator, a socially charged startup, or a business that pushes the envelope – we don’t care. We will work with you. In fact, we believe every brand has a right to eXpress itself boldly and authentically.
If you’re looking for a high-quality web developer for your sensitive topic, look no further. Our team thrives on challenges, and we pride ourselves on supporting businesses and individuals with unique—even controversial—visions.
Break Free
Some web developers stick to “safe” clients to avoid reputational risks. But in a world filled with diverse voices, this leaves people out. Perhaps your business supports socially progressive movements, challenges the status quo, or simply doesn’t fit the mold. 
Who cares?

We don’t.
eXcelisys believes in pushing boundaries. We welcome those looking to disrupt industries, shake up social norms, or take on topics others shy away from. 
Whether you need a simple landing page or a complex e-commerce platform, we bring the same level of commitment to every project—no matter how controversial your content may seem.
No Compromise on Quality
Just because your content runs on the margins doesn’t mean your website should. Don’t settle for subpar service from a web developer who’s lukewarm to your ideas. 
At eXcelisys, we meet every project with creativity, dedication and professionalism, delivering top-tier results that match your vision. We provide custom solutions that prioritize functionality, security and scalability so you can focus on what matters most—your message.
Whether you’re working on a new platform that dives into sensitive topics or simply have an edgier business idea, our developers will craft the perfect digital solution without compromising on quality or performance. 
eXcelisys: Your Fearless Web Developer for Controversial Topics
We’ve earned our reputation as a fearless web development company by working with a diverse range of clients, from traditional businesses to organizations at the cutting edge of change. 
No matter how divisive *some* consider your subject matter, our team at eXcelisys has the technical eXpertise and creative vision to transform your ideas into an online reality. As a web builder for divisive content, we’ve built successful platforms for clients in many fields, proving no one’s too hot to handle.
So, if your web developer is dragging their feet or suggesting you temper your message, ask yourself this: Are you too hot for your current web developer?
Never fear. We are here.

In any multi-user solution, one of the first things to focus on is managing its users. While it's always possible to create a FileMaker solution without a dedicated Users table, doing so prevents you from offering users a wide range of benefits, with user preferences being the first major advantage.
While adding a Users table will allow you to manage those users and their preferences, you might as well also add a Sessions table to track whatever you wish about user activity while they're logged in.
Often, the rush is to simply start solving the main problems the solution addresses. However, to build a successful multi-user solution, core features must be implemented first. These include user and session management, permissions, error handling, logging, and a few other critical elements.
In this video, we implement user and session management into a simple FileMaker solution launcher.
