How We Approach Web & Mobile Development
One size fits none
We feast on big challenges. We also know that consistent, incremental upgrades often prove just as transformational. Either way, we’re expert problem-solvers who don’t flinch at the size of your aspirations. Our pragmatic approach ensures you get the right solution to the right problem, every time.
Do it thoughtfully
Our approach to development is literally where we got our name. (Sorry that story’s not more interesting.) The point is this: Quality stands the test of time. We build thoughtfully and with your future in mind, focusing on long-term business goals, flexibility, durability, and scalability.
Complex problems take custom solutions
This ain’t no template, partner. Everything we do is planned, designed, built, and QA’d completely in-house, and always custom to your unique project. You won’t feel confined by pre-designed templates or bloated by over-engineered WordPress builder plugins. We don’t use them and we never will.
Site admins matter, too
While we are happy to help you manage your site content, beautiful backends are what get us out of bed. Umm… said better, you deserve full control of your site and to be trained on how to effectively use it. We craft beautiful, custom WordPress backends that help site admins get around, export form submissions, create pages with modular components, and easily manage their digital assets on an everyday basis. We’re happy to show you under the hood.

FAQs
Development, unpacked
We like to be flexible and responsive to your needs, we also like to deliver what we promise within the timeframes and budgets we have allowed. If you ask us to add new features to your website while we are building it, will most likely ask why? If we all agree that your new request will help us achieve our objectives then we will be more than happy to oblige.
If this new feature is something you would like to add to your website but is not directly tied to your original objectives, then we will suggest a change order or possibly we will schedule it for a second iteration of the website once it has been launched. Change Orders will be priced at a blended creative rate of $150/hr. The blended creative rate is a mixed rate including strategy, consulting, design, and web development. The scheduling of a new phase after the initial launch of the website will require a new proposal or we’ll just roll it into one of our digital support plans.
We build for all major devices and browsers. Obviously those trends change, so we keep up. Ultimately, we practice responsive design, ensuring that our products look, feel and function appropriately on any screen. If, on the off chance, you need to support an older device or an older browser, we can make that happen with some additional planning and scope.
WordPress is open source content management software that currently powers over 40% of all websites on the internet. The project is contributed to by tens of thousands of developers all over the world and has grown from a blogging platform to a fully-featured CMS. WordPress allows us to develop flexible and customizable websites to modern standards and observes web development best practices. Furthermore, the community of web developers that use WordPress reaches far and wide. This allows us to tap into this collective intelligence and bring that wealth of experience to your project.
Your product will have gone through our rigorous Testing and QA process before we ever share a demo link. We employ leading software services such as Browserstack to test on multiple browsers and devices in different environments. Once we provide a staging demo, we gather your feedback directly in the browser via a smart feedback tool that’s integrated with our Jira bug tracking systems. We provide a 30-day post-live warranty and bug-squashing period if by chance something slips through the cracks.
As mentioned above, we provide a 30-day post-live warranty and bug-squashing period if by chance something slips through the testing process.

How We Approach Content Migration from an Old Site to a New One
We recently tackled a web refresh project that required the migration of over 4,000 pieces of content, specifically blog posts, rich in SEO value. Maintaining that SEO value was a top client priority. Here’s how we went about it.
Google Hates Slow Sites
Google wants to present searchers with a fast internet. As such, sites that take too much time to load get penalized and slip their way down the SERPs.
How Secure is Your Company’s Website?
Nobody needs to be convinced that web security matters. We all read the latest breach headlines. We all know a colleague whose company’s site was hacked. But what most businesses don’t know how to do is gauge the security of their own site. That’s usually a result of not knowing where to start.
