Among the services we
provide are information architecture development, code review,
server infrastructure planning, database
development, programming and implementation,
post-launch instruction, as well as on-going service and support.
Our websites are standards compliant, accessible and built with user
experience in mind.
We would like to work with your company. Start your project today with Notion Design.
We can do a lot of things. We use a wide range of proprietary and open-source tools to complete your project.
Website Design Strategy
From visual design to architecture design, we can provide your project the
direction it needs to be successful. We produce architectural site maps and perform user interface prototyping with wireframes to
make sure your website or web application works exactly as you intended.
Development
Our team is made up of programmers with a lot of experience coding complex projects and
devising clever solutions to a wide range of problems.
Consulting
We can review your current site and provide a detailed analysis of code quality and user
experience. From this analysis, we can give you our recommendations on how to best make improvements.
Support and Maintenance
Have a site that just needs someone to take care of it? We can help you manage the day-to-day operation
of your website. Any project that we complete for your company we can optionally maintain as required for as long as you
have the site.
Migration
Although it sounds simple, moving a site from point A to B can
be a difficult task. Doing it right means you're website or mail is not down for days while your nameservers propagate. If you're
going through a migration, we can help simplify the process.
Standards Based Web Design
We're heavily committed to standards from the top of our development process down.
We use W3C Markup Standards for HTML/XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), the Zend coding standard
for our work in PHP, and we generally follow best practice code conventions for our use of JavaScript.
Framework
We've spent a lot of time with Zend Framework, having used it in non-production and production development
since 2006 (with version 0.6.0). Needless to say, we know our way around Zend Framework. We've also worked with Django, in fact, this site is built
using Django.
Database
We use MySQL and occasionally SQLite for database driven applications.
Content Management
When we aren't building our own custom content management
systems we use Drupal, probably the best
out of the box CMS solution available. CNN, MIT, The Onion, and
Harvard University (Berkman Center For Internet & Society) are all using Drupal.
Web Server
We're most comfortable in an Apache environment, but we've released
sites under IIS and Nginx.
We've built a lot of really cool stuff using jQuery, Prototype and AJAX. We can certainly make whatever idea you have come to life using these tools.
