Our Customers
We do business with companies that have a target of $3M to $50M in online sales annually. Companies with sales goals outside this range are usually either too small or too big for us.
Our customers have well-established IT budget and prefer fixed-cost technology partnership over hourly consulting relationships.
Our customers are small enough to make decisions fast and big enough to understand the importance of software engineering processes over ad hoc hackathon-style unsustainable development practices.
Are You Our Next Best Customer?
If you built an Internet business that needs a professional engineering team to take it to the next level of its life-cycle: scalability, maintainability and cutting-edge advantages over your competitors, you have come to the right place!
If you answer Yes to one or more of the questions below, we would like to hear from you.
 | Ready to Get Started? |
Do you need your PHP apps to evolve to the next level?
We understand that many successful companies build their initial (version 1.0) with shoe-string budgets and ad hoc talent from the streets, whatever is available to bring the idea to market. Once the shiny light of success is upon them, they need to worry about scalability, security, and market pressure that competitors create to topple their business at any moment’s notice.
Are you having scalability problems with PHP apps?
Scalability – everyone says it is a good problem to have as it means whatever you are doing is attracting customers. What they don’t say is that it also makes you extremely vulnerable to the power of bad news. When your systems fail to meet customer’s expectation, a large number of customers can create enough noise on the Internet that others shy away from ever coming to your site.
Do you believe that you have all the specs?
Companies who have the time and resource to develop full specs also should have the engineering resources to get them done in-house.
If you believe you have a partial specification that can be a starting point for an iteration of the evolutionary process of software development, we want to hear from you. The reality of a partial specification is so common that it is a shame how many companies claim otherwise and end up changing specs in the middle of the development and create serious expectation mismatches throughout the development life-cycles. Good people drop out or tune out when words spoken mean little or nothing. We care about our words and love to work with customers who keep their words and expectations aligned with ours.
Do you trust others to do the right thing?
It is our vast experience that tells us that good engineers do not take shortcuts or do the wrong thing unless unreasonable expectations and time pressure gets to them. We believe a healthy engineering process require clear definition of work, well communicated expectations and lots of patience. We believe together we can all do the right thing and create a win-win situation for you and us.
Are you outgrowing your bootstrapped e-commerce solution?
Typically, when a new e-commerce customer approaches us, it is likely that they are experiencing such growth that is their current e-commerce solution is unable to scale up to meet the usability, performance and security needs. We often find that such e-commerce companies bootstrap their online business with an off-the-shelf, mediocre e-commerce system and later find that their success has surpassed their system’s ability to function and has become an hindrance to their online growth. If your company is seeking a migration path to a scalable e-commerce solution that ties both Web front-end and the back-office in a seamless manner, you have come to the right place!
Seeking Insights into Your Data?
We often get involved with customers who are trying to mine their existing databases to convert the data into useful information that can help them make better, informed decisions.
Your data might have secrets that can give you awesome business advantages over your competitors.
By developing customized data analysis and reporting tools, we can help you identify new marketing opportunities, discover and reward loyal customers, and forecast strengths, weaknesses and new opportunities. Trust your data to tell you what’s happening instead of relying on error-prone instincts and guesstimates.
We Do Startups Too!
Although we primarily focus on working with companies that are looking for a technology partner to help them scale up their Web site infrastructure involving PHP code, MySQL database, Linux/Apache Web servers, etc., we also get calls from startups with great ideas that are also seeking a technology partner.
Once an NDA is in place, we can listen to your big idea, funding/equity structure and give you a prompt decision if we can help you get your idea to market or not.
