ServicesWeb Design and Development Services
Found Design + Interactive has been in the Harrisonburg, VA area for the past 7 years, assisting other web design firms and businesses with the following strengths.
Web Applications in Ruby on Rails and Javascript/Ajax
Ever since Ruby on Rails was released to the world in 2004, we have been working with this incredible framework building online forums, social media applications, content management systems, ecommerce stores and real estate search sites. We specialize in developing rich browser applications that can be viewed across browsers and unique touch interfaces for mobile devices.
Rich Applications with Flash (in the browser and Desktop)
We have been experts in Flash development and programming since Flash got its first version of Actionscript in version 3. For the past 10 years we have been developing games, e-learning courses, video delivery platforms, and business applications in the Flash Player platform.
Mobile App (iPhone, Android, Blackberry) Development
We have recently gotten into developing mobile applications. While the playing field is very diverse, we are working with some strategies which provide the possibility of cross-platform development. Get a prototype of your application in 2 weeks or less, instead of multi-month development cycles. If you want to sell your application in the App Store, we can help provide you assistance in getting started.
E-commerce and Online Stores
Over the years we have consulted with various companies to provide them a firm platform for growth as they are planning to open up a storefront. We don't believe that there is a good one-size-fits-all solution to e-commerce, which is why we have explored and implemented many of the different kinds of solutions out there. For a simple but robust storefront that works with the rest of your website needs, we recommend our Content Management System that integrates a product catalog and online payment systems. For companies looking for a robust e-commerce package that can manage 100K+ items and work with inventory tracking systems, we recommend Magento E-Commerce, which can optionally be supported by the developers behind it, Varien. Other companies need more customized e-commerce solutions, and we can custom-tailor a Ruby on Rails-based package such as Spree Commerce, or write an online store totally from scratch in about 2 months, like the store for Christian Light Publications. Whatever your needs are, we will provide a solution for you that you own and can host on your own servers if you so desire. We have no lock-in or long term requirements, and do not charge exorbitant hosting fees.
