Brand New Box - Services

Pretty Clear: We're big on the pretty. Great content and robust technology are complimented with visual designs that tell your story clearly and attractively.
On Brand: If you've got a visual style established, we know how to design within it. After all, we've done web and product design for brands like Apple, BMW, Everlast, IBM, PayPal, RealAge, Saab, and more.
Beauty & Brains: Yes, we like to make things pretty, but we like them to be smart too. We design sites to wow, but we keep things lined up on grids ready to grow.

Development: We stumbled across Rails in late 2004 (release 0.9.1) and have been working with it exclusively ever since. We can help you support your older Rails app, or build a new one with the latest technology.
Deployment: We know how hard it can be to get an app into a production environment. We have it down using Capistrano and Git.
In The Clouds: We can help you take advantage of pay-as-you-go pricing models and almost infinite scalability offered by Cloud Computing and Storage: a web-startup's best value.
Optimization: We can help mitigate the stress of a fast-growing app with all levels of caching, database optimization and application streamlining.

Mobile Development: From large CMS content to one-off mobile apps, we've put the power of the web into the hands of the people.
Video: We've built two Video Content Delivery Networks with automated encoding and dynamic bitrate switching.
Commerce: From simple PayPal integration to all-inclusive e-commerce solutions, we can help you increase cash flow online.
Computers Talking To Computers: We love it when computers do all the work; we help by building new APIs and taking advantage of existing APIs.

Considered: We love creating new brand identities built around the unique DNA of a new venture. After a deep analysis of who you are, and where you want to go, we'll design something great.
Refined: Picking from a list of 20 options is a recipe for disaster. When we design identities, we'll work iteratively with you to refine designs until they're right.
Poised to Grow: We don't slave over a logo just to hand it off - we'll work with you to develop brand standard guides so that the logo can be used best.

Users and you: Love 'em or leave 'em, the user is who your site is all about. We balance this laser focus on usability with your business needs.
Testing: We run both formal and informal usability tests on sites in development - and we can tailor this development to your budget.
Reporting: Preliminary user research isn't enough; we provide tools to track how users are finding your site and what they're doing. And we can improve from there.

CSS & Web Standards: One of the greatest shifts in web development history, we are big supporters of Web Standards and have been doing our best to implement them since the movement began in the summer of 2003.
JavaScript: We've written dozens of custom jQuery components and have experience in MooTools, Prototype, Scriptaculous and ExtJS libraries.
WebKit: We keep a sharp eye on emerging technologies and think that WebKit is swell.
Browser Compatibility: The bane of every web designer's existence. We know the ins and outs of making your website look good and behave across multiple browsers.
