Extracting Functionality: The Development Process

Our developers and engineers have the technical chops to deliver any concept our designers can conceive, and because our development process is tightly integrated with strategy and design, execution is fast, accurate and efficient. Wherever possible, we satisfy project functionality requirements affordably by selecting and implementing existing solutions. Because we don’t resell technology, we offer expert but agnostic insight on potential vendors and products, helping our clients select the best technology for their business requirements.

When custom development is required, we provide wide in-house domain expertise in both proprietary and open source environments. We’re experts as well in a wide range of essential web-specific development skills, including template development, search engine optimization, Section 508 compliance, and cross-browser compatibility. Dedicated project management and quality assurance groups support our primary development team.
