We create open source web applications designed to solve real world problems. If your organization is ready for the next generation Web and beyond, contact us to learn more about our simple and flexible solutions.
Most of our current work uses Drupal, a proven, enterprise-grade framework in widespread use at Yahoo!, IBM, Sony, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and thousands of other organizations throughout the world. Drupal allows us to build powerful applications that are open, flexible, and designed to evolve as your needs change and technology advances:
Although we have roots in the Microsoft world (ASP, .NET, MSSQL) we have been using open source solutions for nearly all of our work since 2003-04 and Drupal specifically since 2006-07.
We provide enterprise-grade hosting for all clients on a Virtual Private Server (VPS) living in tier 1 data center (Equinix). You get the full benefits of application support, source code versioning control (SVN), automatic updates, redundant backups, security audits, server hardening, and more.
Our Virtual Private Servers are provisioned on enterprise-grade hardware with the following specs:
We do not require a long-term contract and you will be free to move hosts at any time for any reason. We can also assist with in-house installations or work with other third-party hosting providers.
One of the problems with all content management systems is that while they make it very easy to do certain tasks like adding content and uploading images, other changes can be difficult if you aren't an expert. We provide the following for all hosted clients:
There are typically 8-10 or more module updates and security patches that need to be applied and tested each month. We provide these services and work pro-actively to keep your server up to date at a fraction of the cost of handling these tasks internally or on an hourly basis.
We are also available to help with common support tasks:
Our base level agreement provides all pro-active server management plus up to 5 hours each month of application support, with additional hours available if required. We do not require a long-term contract for our application support and you can end your service at any time.
