Agile Development

We believe in agile. If possible we try to use as many agile development methods as possible as we have learned this is the best way to develop successful business for our clients and top quality internet products. We develop in multiple development phases, during which we constantly re-check how our work meets business goals and user expectations.

Agile development significantly reduces investment risk for internet projects, as assumptions about users and business quickly become invalid: »Fail soon, fail cheap«. Users receive a better product, chances for success increase. The team is also much more motivated, they see their work published and used frequently.

We have gone agile on several of our biggest projects: mimovrste (e-commerce), Peerindex, Firma.si … each time achieving great results.

We also love to share our knowlede about agile methods with clients and development companies. In cooperation with Scrum Alliance we organized educational workshops and the first Slovenian Certified Scrum Master certification which took place in February 2011. We have also worked with companies like Zemanta and Instrumentation Technologies to help them go agile.

User Experience

We like to think that users acheiving a goal is the core asset of each and every web project. We’ve learned that each hour invested into research results in a better product and increased value. That is why we like to do as much user and business research as possible early on in the project:

  • ·Business model discovery and consultancy
  • ·Best practices and benchmarking analysis
  • ·Heuristic UX reviews
  • ·Community trends and strategies
  • ·Usability testing
  • ·Conversion funnel optimization
  • ·SEO analysis and consulting
  • ·Wireframing
  • ·Information architecture
  • ·Prototyping
  • ·Web visual identity development
  • ·Frontend development (HTML5, CSS3, JS)

We boost visits, change behaviors, increase user lifetime value, reduce business operating costs… We love to dive deep into numbers and get the actionable juice out. We want our client to understand how valuable their site or application really is.

Open Technologies

The choice of technology is rarely the key to success of web projects, but it does significantly affect the short- and long-term price of the product (Total Cost of Ownership – TCO). This is the reason we believe that in most cases the best choice is open source and open methods. We also choose solutions and technologies which enable us to change the provider.
