Our Mission

We strive to develop a global collective mind through technology, innovation, leadership and partnerships.

Our Philosophy
1. The job dictates the tools

Developers play favorites. Most prefer one platform or language over another, and so they'll rewrite a client's site in their platform of choice. We do things differently: We assess the customer's needs, then we figure out the best tools to use.

2. Function comes before form

You've probably downloaded an app or two that seduced you with its glossy good looks — and then discovered it didn't actually do anything useful. Many development shops put design first, with development as an afterthought. We reverse that: We make it work. Then we make it look and sound good.

3. Homemade's better than store-bought

We don't outsource development work or repackage stale code as something new. We're versatile generalists who aren't tied to a single platform, and we use a hybrid of agile and structured methodology to get work done rapidly and right.

No one on our team is superior to another - we help each other out, in the spirit of personal growth.
