One of our company motto is: Think. Code. Repeat. You’ll find several web and mobile development articles that reflects our current thinking on a variety of topics.
We try to be thoughtful about every aspect of our service. We spend a lot of energy thinking through why we do what we do and we rarely choose a mode of operation just because it is the way something has always been done.
We’ve written articles about everything from website pricing, the best type of contracts, deployment models, our value proposition, and more.

If you’re a Star Trek fan, you already know where this is going. “I’m a doctor, not an engineer!” screamed Dr. Leonard McCoy in the original series of Star Trek.
