Development

We call ourselves a strategic web development firm, not an ad agency nor a software development firm, for a reason:  we blend strong business strategy, great processes with hard-core software development skills.  This combination assures your project will get done on time and budget, delivers on its promise and pleases your customers.

Agile development is woven into everything we do.  At the launch of each project, we identify the criteria for success, break development into short sprints that will allow us to quickly test our work against these criteria and the customers’ needs and wants and then adapt and improve.

Our developers have conquered virtually every type of web development project that you can imagine. And, we are always excited to tackle the next challenge. Below, you will find a few of our specialties.

Content Management Tools

Your IT team would probably prefer to hand off day-to-day content management to your marketing staff. This saves you money, gives them time to focus on more technical issues and empowers your marketing team.

If your organization already uses an Enterprise level Web Content Management system such as Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) or Sitecore, we can help you extend, enhance and upgrade those systems. If you do not yet have such a system, we can help you choose one – whether an Enterprise-level or an open-source system. We are experienced with nearly all common open source systems including Drupal, Wordpress and Joomla.

Responsive Websites

Your site must function in a mobile world. It is no longer sufficient for your site to work on desktop and laptop computers alone. It must scale up and down to work well on phones and tablets. We put responsive website design to work. Responsive designs allow you to build one site that adapts to the customer’s screen size, looking and working great no matter the device.

We can build on almost any platform you prefer. If you do not have a preference, we can help you choose the tool that is best for your company. Most often, we recommend Bootstrap because it offers a large catalog of components, has a wide and established user base and is well maintained.

Web Applications

We strive to improve the way people and companies do business. Our web applications streamline processes, improve communications, enhance decision-making, reduce risks and – ultimately – boost the bottom-line. Below, you will find just a sampling of the applications we have developed. Call us today to discuss how our strategy consultants can help your business work better.

Cloud Architecture

There is a reason that so many companies have moved some or all of their systems to the cloud. Cloud service providers can offer backup and fail-safe systems that far exceed those most individual companies can manage. Whether your apps reside on the cloud now, you would like to migrate them to the cloud soon or prefer a combination of on-premise and cloud hosting, we can help. Our certified Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure architects and developers can help you capitalize on the latest cloud computing benefits:

  • Serverless
  • Auto-Scaling
  • Failover
  • Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)
  • Load Balancing
  • DevOps

Mobile Applications

When only a native application can provide the advanced functionality or immersive user experience, you can count on us. We build applications for all the major mobile platforms including Android, iOS and Windows Phone. Better still, we will work with you from product conception through marketing in the app stores.

Database Development

Our development team earned their stripes in big database development companies. They have many years of experience designing, developing and managing databases big and small. Whether you use Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Amazon Aurora or MariaDB, we have you covered.

We also have experience with NoSQL options including MongoDB, Firebase and Amazon DynamoDB.

DevOps

Having great developers, the right systems and good processes are important. Without great DevOps, however, the work you have done can be hard to safely release and test.

We apply the latest DevOps techniques to create automated build, test and release systems using industry standard technologies. This includes code repositories such as GitHub and BitBucket as well as build and release pipelines like Jenkins and Amazon CodePipeline, CodeBuild and CodeDeploy.

Maintenance

We approach every project with the clear understanding that we are building more than a site or an application. We are laying the foundation for a partnership. After all, if you don’t succeed, neither do we. So, we will do everything possible to help you adapt, grow and improve your online sites and applications.
