Web Design
We offer high-end, custom website design tailored specifically to your brand and your visitors. Our specialty is custom WordPress themes. Philip Walton, project lead, is a member of the official WordPress Theme Review Team, ensuring that we are always up-to-date and apprised on the latest WordPress trends.
We are experts in HTML(5), CSS(3), and Javascript, we stay ahead of the trends, and we aren’t afraid to use bleed-edge technology — of course we always offer a fallback for your less than current viewers.
Web Development
We offer custom Web application development for small and large scale applications alike. We prefer to develop with open source tools and languages. Our specialties include PHP, Yii Framework, jQuery, Javascript, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
All of our code strives to be fast, efficient, readable, and reusable. A well coded and well documented project will take longer initially, but future modifications and maintenance will be far easier and well worth the initial investment.
Some companies intentionally write convoluted code that no one else can follow to lock you in. You won’t find that with us.
WordPress Plugins
Let’s be honest, the current plugin repository on wordpress.org is a mixed bag. If you’re not a developer, you have no way of knowing how well a plugin was made or how secure it is. An otherwise well-made and reputable site can be brought to its knees by one bad plugin. The importance of choosing the right one cannot be overstated.
Our custom plugins are built with the PW_Framework, an MVC, open source, WordPress plugin and theme development framework that we maintain. This allows us to quickly and easily develop plugins that are easy to use, easy to maintain, and employ the same security features used by WordPress itself.
Mobile Development
With mobile technology on the rise, it’s important to include it in your overall strategy. We offer both native iPhone development in Objective-C as well as browser based mobile applications built on open Web technologies and using techniques like responsive Web design. The latter can work on any mobile device with a browser.
Consulting
When budgets are tight it can be tempting to hire beginners, students, or people who are just trying to fill out their portfolio. Sometimes those hires work out wonderfully. You get great work for an unbelievable price. Other times they end up costing you more than if you’d just shelled out the big bucks from the get-go, not to mention the amount of time you’ve wasting going in the wrong direction.
This is where a consultant can be invaluable. A consultant can asses work you’ve already had done, evaluate the security of free tools, size up potential hires, and make strategic recommendations. A few hours of a consultants time can prevent you from wasting thousands of dollars going down the wrong path in the name of saving money.
