approach
We're constantly evaluating new technologies and better ways of doing things so we can provide our clients with tangible business value. And we've been around the block enough times to know that "latest" doesn't always mean "greatest". The result is an efficient and lean operation that saves time and money — and we pass that savings on to our customers.
Plan
No fancy Powerpoint slides here. Ditto for unrealistic Gantt charts and fairy-tale project plans that never come true. When your project absolutely can't fail, it's time to try something better. Our iterative approach to project delivery means your project can start realizing value sooner.
We start each engagement with a short, but intensive initiation phase where we get to know your people, your business, and your project goals. Next, we set up a lightweight communication and delivery framework that we'll use for the life of the project.
And now the fun really begins. We'll work together to tailor a realistic, value-driven iteration plan that results in a deliverable every 2 weeks. By focusing on small, incremental changes you'll realize an early return on your investment and collect critical feedback from your customers that we'll use to drive the rest of your project.
And then we'll do it again. Our Lean process will consistently deliver top-quality results you can depend on.
Design
Good looks alone just don't cut it anymore. Today's web users are more sophisticated than ever, and they crave powerful tools that allow them to service themselves (and each other). The best websites focus as much on interaction design and usability as they do the right layout and color palette. It's not enough for your website to work. If it doesn't work the way your visitors expect it to, they'll take their business elsewhere.
Don't worry, we're an email away. Whether you need help simplifying an existing site that doesn't convert or are looking to create a world-class experience for your new project, we can help. Our people are ready apply their years of experience designing websites that work to your next project.
Build
We build software with an uncompromising commitment to quality. All of our developers use test and behavior-driven development techniques on every project. And if you don't know what that means, here's the scoop. You'll always receive a quality implementation from us because we don't promise to test things "later". We design our test suites up front – before we've written a single line of code – so that it works right the first time.
We could bore you by telling you how this approach was born of the open-source software movement and has been proven to deliver more reliable and more maintainable code, but that doesn't matter much to most people. What you need to know is that you can count on your project working right the first time and every time.
Our programmers have a wide range of experience building and integrating with open and proprietary systems. Whether you're a Microsoft or Java shop or an innovative Rails project we've got the people with the skills to help.
