Work Work Play is unavailable for the month of February. That's right, we're all full and we're pretty excited about it.

Slots are now open for April. We have current work slots open for March and April Contact Us.

Don't forget to check out updates to our portfolio. Jeremiah had a pretty awesome opportunity to work with designer Laura Roeder to produce TristinStyling. He used WordPress as a CMS (though there are many other tools to perform this job) and customized SlideShowPro for portfolio presentation. We know the importance of valid markup and we try to teach that to our clients, but often that falls to the wayside. Ultimately, Christine got the site that she wanted and we're happy about it.

Face it, things don't always go as planned. Things break, puzzle pieces get lost, people you taught to play chess so that you could beat them end up beating you. When things go wrong it isn't what you say that counts, its what you do.

Due to an increasing need and the types of projects that we're working on we will be switching to a new slotted scheduling system. Each month there will be an available number of slots scheduled for jobs with the number of openings posted online. This is so each project gets the quality work and attention that it deserves.

We will be restricting new work to two large projects and three smaller projects each month. (If the large project is actually for a complex sites, we will only take on one site per month.)Large projects are ones that include planning, production and development, such as full websites. Smaller projects are the elements that make large projects, creation of graphics, tweaking of code, smaller websites, flash pieces, consultations.

This new scheduling system will enable us to maintain timelines and production of quality work, rather than quantity. And really, who wouldn't rather have something right, than three something wrongs?

A very belated Happy New Year! It's our first entry of 2008. We haven't been able to blog because we've been busy working with new clients. We've had the best month (since opening in August), with clients and jobs that we've been proud to work on. That success has allowed us to hire a professional blogger. He'll keep you updated on projects and write about what we love, the internet. He'll be starting in two weeks.

Qualities we looked for in a blogger: World of Warcraft Level 70, willingness to eat dry cheese boxed version of macaroni, will work for said macaroni, devotion to the internet, previous published writing, and the top and most important quality willingness to let me call you up at all times of the night to discuss new The Sims 2 expansion pack. Just kidding.

Now that we're no longer worrying about updating the blog, we're free to work on our own projects. So, in the coming year, you'll see what a small team of knowledgeable individuals who love what they do can achieve.

If you're a potential client and you need to build an intensive site that requires e-commerce, classifieds, community interaction or a clone site, be prepared for it to take more than 2 weeks to finish. Smoothly run projects require time and planning. Even if we have code repositories from previous sites we've created, it will still take time to customize them to your needs. Planning and understanding of how the project will work from the beginning takes time, but in the long run it will actually save you money.

Scenario: Client says that they want to create a presence online to rival a well-established site and they need it built within 3 weeks (from scratch), and "any experienced development firm can handle this."
