We use open source frameworks wherever possible, to prevent us reinventing the wheel. For site builds, we currently favour MODx, Drupal or Ruby on Rails, depending on the complexity and nature of the site. Our choice of framework is dependent on project requirements and not limited to our current favourites.
Agile development
We favour a fast, iterative lifecycle, where continuous integration ensures quality and regular feedback reduces risk by keeping you informed and in control. Our software comes backed by stringent tests and useful documentation.
