Excellent Development is What You Need, But Not What You Do

Period web development, backend tool maintenance or construction, or just connecting 3rd party systems is a challenge that all businesses face (or avoid at great pain), regardless of what that business actually does.

You're busy doing what makes your business tick, not building software, and that's what you should be worried about. Excelling at what you do. Unfortunately managing and maintaining an online presence is a fact of modern business. Something most small businesses aren't well equipped to deal with.

Why would you be? It's not what you do.

Unfortunately, It's still necessary

Too often that means falling back on a friend-of-a-friend who made a website once, or jumping into the hiring casino hoping to find a freelancer or full time developer who can do it all. OR even worse, hire multiple people and invest a disproportionate amount to have a team you really don't need in the long run.

The other choice is to hit the packed agency market and swallow the potentially brutal sticker shock and roulette wheel of wildly different competence levels and levels of transparency.

Or Maybe You're Already There

You've already built a site, or assembled a tool chain, and you've already got that momentum and dependence.

The exact way it manifests can vary, but often the core story is the same. You've got something in place, but it's just not cutting it, and the path forward is too complicated, too expensive, or is totally unknown.

Maybe Your Team is Overwhelmed

It definitely happens. Technical debt mounts and half solutions crack under the weight of growing business. Your team is handling it, but just barely, and there's no juice left to advance.

Now it's all just a Black Box

You've inherited solutions that no one really fully understands. Maybe it's turnover. Or maybe it's just the relentless churn of technology advancing. But you've got a site that's falling apart, or tools that are holding on by a thread.

It was a Boondoggle you're not doing that again

The first time around was a nightmare, and this time has to be different. Luckily, you've recognized that famous, apocryphal "Einstein" quote describing the definition of insanity, and won't repeat the same mistake again.

What Can We Help With

.

Realize an Individual Project

Either from existing specifications, or just ideation, we can take on plan, architect, develop and test an entire project of virtually any complexity from end-to-end.

Our support staff has project managers, developers, designers, and QA staff who can take a project from end-to-end filling you in on process and progress all the way through.

.

Update or Upgrade an Existing Site or Tool

Technical debt builds. It comes for us all.

If you have an aging site, backend tools or any software that is in need of repairs or routine upgrades, we can help with that.

We'll work within your tools, ecosystem and process as much as possible to limit the scope and complexity of your upgrades to keep the risk, and costs, as low as they can be.

.

Staff Augmentation and Project Rescue

If you've got a project in flight that is stalling out, or has hit roadblocks that there's no obvious solution to, we can bring in industry veterans to help find a path forward.

Maybe that means adding more developers to see through a plan that is already in place, or perhaps it means a fast and thorough reassessment to discover a better path forward. Either way, we've got hardened experts that can help.

How We Get Things Done

Discovery, Audit and Assess

We'll assess the project spec, or state, and build a complete model of the work that needs to be done.

Our team will schedule interviews with key staff members and learn about the projects needs. If the work is on existing code we'll audit the code to make sure we understand how it works, and how it doesn't.

Evaluation and Planning

We'll prepare a plan of action to execute the changes needed including an outline of work, estimated costs and timeline.

Any information architecture, like database schematics or system architecture will also be drafted up in broad strokes to understand the complexity of the project.

Execute, Execute, Execute!

We'll allocate the staff required to execute, and dig in!

Together we'll establish deliverables and key milestones along the way so we're able to assess our progress and make sure any roadblocks are identified early, communicated and resolved cleanly.
