DevBridge launches new SCAN website with Google Maps, E-Commerce, Discussion Boars, Member Marketplace, streaming video and more!
View SCAN Case StudyA number of daunting challenges faced new management when we arrived at Lava Lite LLC. One of the most important was to design and launch an e-commerce website that captured the flavor of our products, while working with a limited budget and a fast timetable. We interviewed a handful of developers, ranging from one man shops to big agencies. The geeks at DevBridge not only looked the part, but clearly "got" what we wanted. They were quick, worked well collaboratively, were expert in their knowledge of all things geeky and kept an eye on the budget.
Don’t tell them I said this, but we actually enjoyed working with them. We’re all very proud of the new site, which is on a path to exceed the old site’s highest annual sales by over 300%. We continue to work with DevBridge, not only on site enhancements, but also on increasing business through the use of online marketing tactics.
I’m just going to go out and say it – Google mentioned us on their code blog! Next up – we take over the world, turn all fast food restaurants into video game arcades! Since pigs aren’t flying just yet we’ll have to be satisfied with being mentioned by the organization we look up to as we toil away under the hot Chicago summer sun.
It has been a busy Spring here at DevBridge, and it doesn't look like Summer is going to go down quietly, either. We have launched a website for Sports, Cardiovascular, and Wellness Nutrition, a DPG of American Dietetic Association on June 1st.
Whether you’re a one man shop, designing and coding your projects all by yourself, or a small business with a pool of talent, you will always face a challenge: how much design and UI work is needed before the mockups are passed on to the developer? To take it a step further, how much visual work needs to be done to communicate the project to the client? In this article we’ll talk about best practices for clear communication, the tools used, and resource management on both small and large projects.
I’m a skeptic when it comes to venture firms such as Y Combinator who help launch / propel startups, probably because of how much publicity there has been generated surrounding those organizations. I am a firm believer that a useful product or service will always find itself a niche market to utilize, however my recent experience with Excelerate has altered my perception of the value these companies and seminars may bring.
DevBridge has recently launched a new website that sells office supplies, furniture and break room products called BisonOffice.com. We wanted to share with you the experiences and decisions that had to be made during the development of our own online store.
This post is dedicated to my fellow web designers and developers to share our experience of knowledge exchange between the developer and the client. Our field combines business development, graphic design, technology, and user experience design – a basketful of very different areas of expertise. When dealing with clients one does face a challenge of clearly and effectively communicating the goals and results of work performed in the mentioned areas.
Another year crumbles behind us as our databases are pleasantly ripening with new data and clients. A good and exciting year 2009 was, with goals achieved, lessons learned, and ideas hatched for the next twelve months.
The projects we undertook in 2009 reflect our dual path business philosophy, which is to focus on development of self sustaining web systems that generate perpetual revenue by either service or product offerings, and development of systems for our clients that solve their business problems. The exciting consulting development projects we completed in 09, allowed us to pursue ventures that might have been otherwise unavailable to us due to time and resource constraints.
A relaxing drumming of raindrops is beating against the windows at DevBridge – nature is preparing for yet another season of slumber. Shades of yellow and red are embracing forests and parks alike; the pesky neighbor squirrel is no longer bothering Tomas as it’s time is consumed with various nut gathering activities. Spirits inside the office, however, are quite on the other side of the spectrum with activity peaking at an all time high. New employees, multiple product launches, and deadlines creeping up on us leave little time for melancholy and nut gathering (Marius also buys us nuts in these large containers, so we technically don’t have to gather them in preparation for winter).
