Specialties

Software systems grow exponentially complex. We take pride in being quick to learn new systems and leverage their strengths.

WordPress

We used homegrown frameworks to build LAMP apps when none were publicly available. Today, we often will build on WordPress, especially when the site requires an easy, inexpensive CMS. In the past, we’ve also built on Zend Framework, CakePHP and Laravel. We’re comfortable building on self-serve hosts, including the Google and Amazon clouds, as well as premier hosts like Pantheon. When we’re working in PHP, we typically build unit tests with PHPUnit.

Next.js

Certain contexts make JavaScript-based frameworks more appropriate. We’ve built several sites in Next.js and hosted on Vercel. For Node.js work, we typically rely on Vitest for unit tests.

SaaS API Integration

We have lots of experience integrating with Internet APIs whether they are exotic, dated or ubiquitous. Some of these are MaxMind, Bazaarvoice, Acoustic, Lytics.

Other Tools

In the realm of WordPress, we’ve used Advanced Custom Fields extensively, plus WooCommerce. We’ve also built many custom plugins and themes.

When it comes to programming languages, aside from PHP, we often build Bash scripts and have also coded in Java, C/C++, Perl, Python and GraphQL.

Some other systems we’ve touched: Google Analytics and Tag Manager, FingerprintJS, MailChimp, Contentful, Jira, Confluence, Sentry, New Relic, , Google Cloud Virtual Servers, Amazon EC2, One Trust, Magento, Fastly, Redis, Memcache, Circle CI, GitHub, Bitbucket.
