A team of Keyhole Consultantsย has been focused on a rewrite initiative for a clientย proprietary Designer tool.
This tool enables a non-programmer to create a form-based web application by dragging UI elements onto a page of a form. The form contains pages that have UI elements. Each element has a number of associated properties, interactive at design-time. Each element can have behaviors that impart program logic to the form. The form can have a workflow associated with it. The tool user interacts with those artifacts by dragging and dropping elements, drawing behavior or workflow connections, modifying properties, and then saving the form, as XML, to a server. A web-based player interprets the form XML to serve it to an end-user as a web application.

Keyhole assited the client in development of Ecosport UV, which provides a new, educational approach to proactive skin protection from harmful UV rays.
The application allows the user to view the current UV index and temperature by zip code search. Ecosport UV then provides education to the user: what that UV Index means, how it affects the user, and how to proactively combat sun damage. They then have the option to view suggested sun protection techniques for the current index range, including sunscreen application, clothing and eye protection.
