LAUNCH & GROW
NO. 4
Release Early & Often
It doesn’t matter how well a web application project is planned out. Things change. Assumptions change. Change is the only constant in every project, so we prepare for them at the start of development.
After every major feature is built, we release a stable version of your product. You’ll then review it and get it in front of your users to gain feedback as soon as possible. With that feedback, we make changes to the web application immediately, if needed. This is agile web development, and it’s our favorite way to work.
NO. 5
Launch & Beyond
We won’t launch your web app and walk away. That’s not how we roll. We want to be your software development partner. As your industry and users evolve, you’ll be looking for ways to keep your users engaged. We’ll have the web development technologies to help you compete.

Using the Right Frameworks
Not every project requires the same toolset, but most of our projects are built in Ruby on Rails and ReactJS.
Web apps are flexible, and we can design them to work well for web, mobile, and tablet users. A responsive web app is a can be a great replacement solution for old desktop apps, outdated applications, the dreaded spreadsheets - all of which would benefit from a seamless transition to a modern cloud-hosted web app.
Our Ruby on Rails Expertise
We come from a land of good cheese and cold beer, where nice people work midwest-hard. We do right by our friends not only because raving clients are the best advertising, but because that's just how we were raised. Here, we know that quality has no shortcuts.
