Services. What we do
React & Laravel
We focus to develop most of our recent software by using our two favourite frameworks.
There are pretty good reasons for this setup and we’d like to do a lot more projects this way.
When it comes to frontend development, you need tools and technologies which will make your web application extremely fast and, at the same time, handy for every user. And no technology does it better than the ReactJS library.
Laravel’s big advantage as it could be designed with best practices of modern app development in mind which offers standardized MVC-based process of building fast, modularized and very scalable web applications. Not only is it great for end users, but for Laravel developers as well.
CMS and E-commerce
CMS
We base most of our websites on the following open source CMS platforms:
- SilverStripe – our favorite solution. As it’s more of a framework rather than a CMS, you get a website tailored to your requirements, not the CMS architecture.
- Drupal – if you have a big project or a startup made up of number of various types of pages, users and scenarios, Drupal is the one we recommend.
E-commerce
If you think of starting an online store, you’ve come to a good place. We'll provide you with a solution that turns the web traffic into dollars. We’ve based most of our e-commerce projects on Drupal ecommerce . It is easy to use, efficient in implementation, and very functional at the same.
Frontend. PSD2HTML
We convert your design concepts into highest quality templates HTML5 + CSS3 coded along with JavaScript by the best front-end developers in the industry.
Our projects are based on
- pixel perfect imlementation. Final website would look exactly like it was designed.
- 60fps - it's as fast as it could be.
- w3c valid, whole code is valid.
- grid and responsive - we use grid on all projects so all the elements are exactly where they should be.
Software development
Web is not everything. We're maniacs of all sorts of software development
-
PHP Development
Our studio uses PHP to develop Applications, APIs or custom CMSes. When it comes to frameworks, our pick would be MVC one, most likely Laravel. -
Mobile Applications
Lets make it clear - iOS and Android apps has become business demand, which we're happy to respond to. We do the following methods of app creation:
- HTML5 JavaScript wrappers PhoneGap and Crosswalk
- Native development. React Native
Web Development
Custom Web Development
We also offer custom web development, without limits
- Custom-made web application,
- Open Source implementations,
- E-commerce platforms,
- Mobile applications,
- Intranets,
- Web portals,
- B2B systems.
JavaScript Development
We love the fact that JavaScript can be used both server and client side and we’re eager to write this kind of projects when needed.
React
Development based on reusable components which make both coding and testing significantly faster
Meteor.js
Fantastic tool that allows to quickly create application with common javascript codebase in JS.
Node.js
Node.js has become the most popular platform to create scalable web applications. It’s very fast and to create an application in this environment is pure pleasure.
Mobile development
All our website are responsively designed (RWD) and tested on real devices and various simulators.
Online HTML5 Apps
Best when you want to create an easily manageable application without the need of making it available in the Android/Apple app shop.
Native Applications
A much more demanding approach in terms of the effort, however the results are unmatched.
HTML5 & JavaScript Wrappers
The fastest way of developing apps that includes texts, forms and other common components.
Multimedia
We sometimes leave the internet and mobile world to complete other kind of jobs.
-
Presentations
We're able to create standalone multimedia presentations -
Games
Desktop, mobile, custom (e.g. build with Arduino controller) – it’s all no problem to us. -
Infokiosks
We offer to design, create and program interactive digital devices
Photography & Motion
When the project we’re working on requires creative photography, we are self-sufficient in providing it. We are capable of shooting high quality photography in terms of the content and its aesthetical values. We are not afraid of any challenges and we are able to take on the most complex assignments. We create 3D panoramas and virtual tours. We shoot both interior and exterior. We are experienced in all kinds of portrait photography.
We create motion pictures besides still images. We manage the whole production process from screenplay through organizing movie set, renting lightning accessories to the actual video shoot. We also edit the video, do post-production and add animation if necessary. We specialize in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects. Our resume includes a large variety of video productions such as documentary movies, music videos, various types of advertisement, event documentation, and also live concert recordings.
Our garage is full of photographical gear, we also do have a drone which we love to fligth.
Audio Design
We’re far from banal and kitsch. We approach each task in a unique way, taking into account the importance of the sound in the perception of the project. We create music and sound from scratch for podcasts, films, event coverage, presentations, adds, games and applications. We record lecturers. We edit and master already recorded sound material. We record in the field and in studio.
We offer a variety of genres and styles – we can handle modern club music, ambient background or vintage sounding rock band – we are experienced and skills to compose and record any music style. Years spent in business let us apply well both the styles and the technique.
We stock an enormous library of sound samples, good to be used in most projects. If we miss something, we go a hard way and create the sound in the house.
We use cutting edge equipment, both Mac and PC based. We have license to use the latest Ableton Live 9 software. We are fluent in Adobe Audition, Audacity, FL Studio, Final Cut Pro and dozens of other VST applications.
We do not limit ourselves to the digital path. We use fine, classic guitar amplifiers, high quality acoustic instruments and naturally achieved reverb.
Our Process
Our process if focused on client, his satisfaction and goals. Agile manifesto is our guide, "Individuals & interaction over process and tools" is motto that describe our workflow.
-
-
Strategy & Design
We believe that the non-computer design stage is a foundation of every project. We'll meet to talk, exchange ideas, sketch and drink coffee until we come up with the best prototype, the one that will be used to create an optimal design.

-
Our Process. How we do
STRATEGY & DESIGN
Our process in five steps
-
Research.
First we need to understand your business, its environment and goals. -
Planning.
We'll research your current market position and search for creative ideas from there. -
Concepts.
Let's make our ideas real. The information gathered so far is an input for a brief after which we can start discussing schedule and cost. -
Prototypes.
The blueprint of future design, either a paper sketch or fully navigable html mockup. -
Design.
Based on prototypes, we start the design process, with emphasis on User Experience (UX) and responsive design (RWD).
The result of following process is a brief documentation and ready to cut responsive layout
DEVELOPMENT
Our code changes your ideas into a superb web experience.
Our websites are coded in HTML5 and CSS3 with the support of cutting edge Web technologies. At the same time we leave no users behind. We take into account the fact that your website may be accessed from an outdated browser or a mobile device stripped of the Web fireworks. Our sites are fully viewable and usable on most of the devices and browsers, SEO compliant, fast and optimised. Our products are built as software as a service (SASS), as well as standalone, both desktop and mobile applications.
Once we have a working beta version, a client is involved in the implementation as a Product Owner in accordance with Scrumm Process guidelines. It’s the most efficient approach in terms of time and money.
We use GIT version control and Git-flow. All code and features receive reviews and QA before merging into the main development branch. This is done with Gitflow support
For tracking issues we use Redmine - A flexible project management web application.
To make whole development process transparent we are able to give access to Gitflow and Redmine for clients.
PRE LAUNCH
Thanks to the Agile development process, we are able to identify bugs and issues before the launch and solve them or even change the process direction if the goals change.
Once the CMS is set up, we'll teach you how to manage the content. We’ll provide you with a complete documentation guiding you in the use of the developed product, so that you and your crew are fully trained when the site is launched.
When needed, we can run A/B Testing to measure the UX of your particular product and select the design that provides best results.
We run stage and test servers so just before lunch client know exaclty how final products is going to look like.
LAUNCH & CARE
We watch your site, to make sure it runs smoothly and when an issue is identified we react quickly. Through the web analytics we help you understand live processes and polish the product when needed. We use Google Analitycs and Piwik for that. If you need a more specific analysis, for example to catch the game cheaters, we use Use It Better.
We're proud that our products live long before anything needs to be amended.
