Newschool knowledge, craftsman quality
We're a digital agency based in Silicon Valley that's focused on creating high quality experiences your customers will love.
From our time tracking & freelance invoice software to our network of music fan sites - we put the experience of our users above everything else.
History
We've been consulting since 1999 - providing graphic design, software engineering, and user experience services for customers in the SF Bay area.
Past clients include heavy hitters like Hewlett Packard and Nielsen, to small startups that have been acquired by Google.
In 2006 we put client work on the back burner and started developing products based on our own ideas.
During that time we innovated the technique behind lightbox and created the first Ruby on Rails shopping cart.
We also developed Cashboard, which is used by thousands of businesses worldwide every day. Our web properties are visited by even more people than that.
Need a handcrafted touch for your project?
We're currently accepting clients on a limited basis.
If you're looking to have a basic website developed we're probably not the right people for the job.
Conversely, if you need proven guidance on launching your startup, or you're looking to create the next big web service / mobile app / media powerhouse then drop us a line.
We're experts in:
- User experience / graphic design
- Ruby on Rails
-
Javascript
jQuery, Backbone.js, Prototype.js, etc - Mobile app design
- Mobile app development with Sencha Touch
Our team of digital artisans are available for expert design & software advice at a minimum rate of $2k/day.
Larger projects of $10k or more are billed on a bi-weekly schedule at our standard hourly rate. We require a 50% deposit up front for all work.

Looking to join the team?
We're not recruiters, so we don't care too much for "ninjas" or "rockstars"…
However, if you're an expert designer, Ruby on Rails hacker, or marketing guru we'd love to talk to you.
Cashboard is time tracking & freelance invoice software
