We build software using a wide variety of tools, languages, platforms, and stacks:

  • ASP.NET
  • C#
  • PHP
  • JavaScript
  • Java
  • HTML5
  • CSS
  • Angular
  • SQL Server

Quality & Craftsmanship

We think of ourselves as a nice, neighbourhood Italian restaurant - a place not too big, not too busy, but established enough that you can expect professional and consistent results.

Inside our "kitchen", you'll find quality tools and materials, and a skilled, creative team. Everything we make is well planned, nicely appointed, and leaves you satisfied.

Each of us has been writing code and developing software most of our adult lives and we couldn't be happier to share what we know and what we do - to enable you to work easier and more productively, and to solve challenging problems that keep you up at night.

How We Can Help You

We will listen & learn about your business problems and ideas, select the right tools, propose a solution, and spend an agreed upon amount of effort implementing the solution using best practices. We can provide ongoing support or train and empower your team to extend & support the solution.

  No Learning Curve

We can leverage a lot of experience over the years; a lot of projects share similar problems and patterns. We don't have to waste a lot of time discovering how to build your software - we spend our time writing it.

  Full Speed Ahead

Our agile processes allow us to allocate resources in a lean way - we concentrate our work into phases with specific deliverables and checkpoints. We don't bounce around with a little here, a little there - we dive in and we're invested all the way to the finish line.

  Transparent Billing

We charge per project, not per hour. Fixed price - no surprises. We require a deposit up front to get started - the remainder is due over the course of the project and/or when the project's done.

  Clear Project Management

You'll have a single point of contact who will be in charge of project delivery. We don't ding you for meetings, or email / phone support, or anything else weird like that. We're nice, straightforward people and we won't talk geek speak to you.

What To Expect

Here's our typical software development project process:

  Discovery, Scope & Estimate

We'll want to meet with you and find out how you work, what you need, and what we can do for you. After that we'll prepare an easy to read one page proposal that outlines what encapsulates our discussions and includes a budget estimate and schedule.


  Planning & Pre-Code

Once you give us the green light, we get started immediately. We'll chat again, and fully discuss the new project. We'll then prepare a design specification, which is a detailed feature sheet of everything the system should contain, how it will function, how it will interact with users of the software, etc. It's the skeleton for the application and we want to nail everything down early. That's not to say we can't make changes as we go along, but the more we clarify and discuss the major components of the system early, the better able we are to manage complexity and scope change later on. This usually takes between 7 and 14 days.


  Construction

Now that we all have a good idea of the whole system, the construction phase begins. It is at this point we add screens, navigation elements, user interface components, and bells & whistles. You'll begin to see the application take shape, as we quickly get a working version going, and incrementally improve it as we go. We'll want your input, so we will continuously release new versions to you to go over and give feedback.


  Delivery

After we've finished the work, and the software is functional and feature-complete, we'll ask you sign off on it as such. At that point, your warranty period will kick in, where we're available for 60 days to fix minor bugs that weren't discovered during development (no software is perfect), as well as assist your team with integration into your existing systems (if required), familiarize your users with the software, and support you as you transition to the new system.
