About us - A team of talented, driven developers.

We pride ourselves in writing clean, maintainable code. Our developers are always learning new techniques and concepts that put them ahead of the game.

As experts, we can help guide your business into building products you can be proud of. The passion our developers have for their craft shows in every project. Our team has the freedom to create, the support to grow, and the space to enjoy their work, so it feels a lot more like play.

The best is yet to come; we know there's always room for improvement. We are committed to always improving our skill-sets and learning newer and better techniques. Client feedback and expertise beyond our own is also invaluable in helping us grow.

Our values - What we value as a company

We strive to foster an environment that allows our staff to thrive and have a healthy work-life balance.

  • Trust. It's important to trust who you work with and no amount of due diligence can remove the uncertainty from a new relationship. There's always a risk working with someone new, but you sometimes have to take a leap of faith. We want to work with people that are willing to take that leap of faith with us. We will always offer good faith in all interactions and expect that in return.
  • Ambition. We strive to better ourselves not just in the development world, but all aspects of life. We can't expect to deliver exceptional service if we're not keeping our skills sharp and our minds engaged.
  • Work-Life Balance. As important as work can be, we firmly believe there's more to life than working. The whole "first to arrive, last to leave" mentality is just out-dated in our opinion. Instead, we believe in showing up, putting in a good and focused day's work, move on to something else, then show up the next day rested and ready.
  • Embrace Learning. You don't always have to have the answers to be an expert in something. We believe it's important to be able to acknowledge when you don't know something and be able to seek the appropriate avenues for clarification. Reaching a shared understanding is far more important than proving you're smart.
  • Be kind, but truthful. We may be based in the Midwest, but "Midwest Nice" isn't how we do things around here. Even though we're kind and thoughtful, we strive to tell the truth, even when it's not easy. For us, it's better to be direct and specific instead of pushing something under the rug for it to become an even bigger problem later on.
  • Communication. We value clear, concise and appropriate communication and attention to detail with our team, customers and partners.

Our process - How we work

Discover how we take your project from just an idea into reality. While every project is unique, we have a general process that we follow for projects.

Discover

Before we write any code, it's important for us to understand what to build and how to build it. We work closely with our clients to understand their needs and goals. Through conversations with you we can gather the requirements and use cases for a website or application to build.

The discovery phase also helps us redirect potential clients when we aren't the best fit for them. By actively building relationships with other agencies that complement our niche, we're able to point potential clients in the right direction and ensure they get the actual help they need from a trusted agency.

Included in this phase

  • In-depth talks
  • Budget planning
  • Timeline planning
  • Estimate

Design

This step is all about laying out an aesthetically pleasing, yet functional design to serve as the foundation to shape your website or app.

While each stakeholder may have a unique vision of the project in their mind, this step helps clarify the vision of the project so everyone is on the same page.

Included in this phase

  • Mockup designs
  • Proof-of-concepts

Build

We write code - lots of it. Then we write even more. By utilizing the Laravel framework we are able to design and develop modern applications built to fit your needs.

Our go-to stack is the TALL stack (TailwindCSS, Alpine.js, Laravel, Livewire). However, we know that it's not a one-size fits all solution. Our developers will utilize the technologies appropriate to your needs based on the discovery phase.

Included in this phase

  • Application development

Testing

This is where we stress-test the project to ensure it's fit for purpose. We'll do our best to verify the project can handle its requirements and to find and fix any bugs in the system.

Included in this phase

  • Quality control
  • Bug testing/fixing

Delivery

It's time to launch! We will support you through the deployment process, helping with integrations, pushing to production, and beyond, ensuring your solution exceeds your expectations.

We will also be able to train you on how to use your new software so you know how to get the most out of the solution we created.

Included in this phase

  • Software delivery
  • System integrations
  • Product training
  • Documentation

Partnership

From regular maintenance to ongoing design and development, we can help level-up your digital endeavors and keep things running smoothly long after your solution goes live.

Included in this phase

  • Software maintenance
  • Server maintenance
  • Bug fixes
  • New features
