Our Work


We believe in marrying creativity with technical delivery. The company takes a highly ascetic approach to our work encompassing art, design, photography, programming and consultancy.

We provide the development, consultancy and deployment of computer based systems with a real understanding of the needs of business and of the individual.

Some of the areas of our expertise, with more technical detail is given below:

Strategy & Consultancy

Our years of web and software development experience, including work nominated for industry awards, means we are well qualified to develop new solutions and advise on strategy.

Our specific areas of expertise relate to web architecture, web analytics, software design, IT strategy, technology business consultancy and technology marketing.

We have a strong understanding of the needs and restrictions of business, with a simple and pragmatic approach to providing a refined and nuanced solution to complex requirements.

Web 2.0


We produce standards-compliant, accessibility-aware, people-centric web-sites and software using Web 2.0 technologies that are engineered on the basis of simplicity and elegance, allowing the user to easily interact with your content and the site to be fully managed by the adminstrator.

The technologies we predominantly focus on in the delivery of web based solutions are: Ruby on Rails, AJAX, Web Services, MySQL, W3C Standards (XHTML, CSS, XML, XSLT), usability and accessibility.

We also have extensive experience with many other technologies including Drupal CMS (content management system), PHP and Lotus Notes/Domino.

Using cutting-edge technologies is important in allowing us to deliver modern usable solutions. And, although technology choices are important, we predominantly deal with busy business and marketing people and focus on interacting on a business or creative level, rather than a technical one.
