Here's why you should work with us.

• We’re Rubyists too

  We’re based in Amsterdam and part of 80beans, a well-known Western European Ruby consultancy. Early 2005 we started working with Ruby on Rails exclusively. We understand what you need, because that’s what we would need.

• Your own front-end architect

  Writing great code is hard, which is why our front-end architect Roy Tomeij will personally oversee your project. We’ll apply his expertise on modular and reusable front-end code, as we have done to over a hundred projects before. Read more.

• Less code, easier maintenance

  Unleashing the power of Haml, Sass (or SCSS) & Compass on your project, we’ll save you a lot of time implementing the dynamic bits. Well structured code and meaningful comments take the pain out of maintenance.

• High speed CSS authoring

  Making sprites or writing a ton of vendor specific prefixes isn’t fun. Compass fixes annoyances like this by providing a collection of handy helpers, which we’ll put to good use in your project.

• CoffeeScript & jQuery

  We can write plain JavaScript or use CoffeeScript, and use the jQuery library where it makes sense. If you need a custom jQuery plugin, we’ll write one.

• Blazing fast User Experience

  Even with the fastest back-end code, the user experience largely depends on an effective front-end. That is why we live by Yahoo!’s best practices for speed optimization, minimizing image sizes and the number of http requests.

• Ready for the future

  Utilizing HTML5 and CSS3 we make the most out of what modern browsers can do. We use Modernizr for feature detection, making sure the experience degrades gracefully in older browsers.

• Responsive design

  We know your visitors don’t all sit at their desk, using a 19” screen. We can cater to a variety of screen sizes and devices using responsive design, touch optimization and retina friendly graphics.

• Rails asset pipeline

  By using the asset pipeline introduced in Rails 3.1, front-end code has become a first class citizen. Just drop in our code and it will work out.

• Great looking forms

  Tell us your form structure and we’ll make sure our front-end code will make it look pretty. Rails form helpers, Formtastic and SimpleForm bear no secrets for us.

• Partials

  No more copying and pasting pieces of code to create reusable partials. We’re keeping it DRY by creating these partials, so you only have to add the dynamic bits.

• Great value for money

  Let’s face it: quality doesn’t come cheap. We deliver great code, hand-crafted in Amsterdam by specialists who make Western wages and work normal hours. We’ll give you great value for money, but will compete with the Far East on quality only.
