  • Technology

    We specialize in using LAMP technologies(Linux, Apache, MySQL & PHP) to custom build dynamic applications and content management systems for the web. Our developers also have experience with Java, PERL, Python, C and C++. And of course we do HTML/XHTML, CSS, JavaScript(AJAX,DHTML,JQuery,YUI,Prototype), Flash and Actionscript. In a pinch, we'll even admit to familiarity with ASP and SQL Server.

  • Web Services and Mashups

    We have extensive knowledge of mulitple communication protocols such as JSON, SOAP, XML, and RSS. Our experience with integrating numerous and disparate APIs, web services, payment gateways and various software applications have kept us in high demand, and created many successful, productive and lucrative sites for our clients. We've worked with and integrated multiple payment gateways such as PayPal, GoogleCheckout, Verisign, Washington Mutual, and more. Some common webservices and mashups include Google Maps(w/GeoCoding), Google Local, Yahoo Local, Amazon, YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, and OpenSocial. Some not so common integrations include consuming custom built web services via SOAP and Actionscript, managing comparison shopping via multiple feeds, API's, and screen scraping techniques, and interfacing with Renyolds and Renyolds' proprietary car dealership inventory management system.

  • Accessibility and Web Standards

    Accessibility is the key to reaching the widest audience. We strive to provide the greatest accessibility through standards based design implementation allowing for greater compatibility with multiple browsers, mobile devices, screen readers, search engines, and any other software that renders html. Keeping up to date with the latest in web technologies and standards has given us the tools to provide our clients with standard compliant websites employing full css layouts and templates that conform to the W3C validation rules.

  • Search Engine Optimization

    Complying to standards and implementing best practices for natural search insures that our client's websites get the best search engine results for chosen keywords.
