We're all "Creatives", aren't we? You don't walk or dress the same each day, do you, so you agree that you're constantly creating? Good. For the nitty-gritty, though, we're a group of "professional" (air quotes) creatives who create brands through interactive and traditional media. We build websites, develop apps, shoot photography, and practice carpentry. Wait, that's completely unrelated.
A logo is not a brand. A logo is a signature to a brand. The brand itself is the culmination of the product, service, logo, colors, fonts, images and all touchpoints which create a feeling a customer experiences. The brand is everything.
We work with you to develop your company's personality from the ground-up, creating a foundation that will be built on for years to come. From this foundation, we fine-tune every touch-point that you have with your clients. Be it peripherals (business cards, promotional materials, identity kits, signage, vehicles, and so on) we handle all of it.
Although 'web design' is a term that makes us cringe like nails on a chalkboard, we admit it's what we do. We know what looks good and how to get attention. With some awards under our belt for design, we hope to be able to help you look bigger, badder, better. By the way, that "badder" means "better", so that'd be double "better".
A site is a site, but how a User interacts with the site (a User Interface) builds their User Experience (UX). Albeit, we are a nerdy bunch; we are primarily hired for our creative side. Yes, we develop web apps with the best of 'em, but we do it as real people, creating a better site usability than sometimes what you get from staunchy developers.
Imagine going to Starbucks and getting that quad shot in your cup of coffee to help add to your day. The catch? You only had to ask for 2 shots! That's sort of what the excitement we get with Rails. To be fair, we'll always look at your project objectively to decide which language it must be in. To be real, it'll probably be Rails.
It's not a drug. It's a programming language. To be technical, we write in PHP 5 using the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP). Thrown in there, we do some Ajaxxy Javascript as well to create a more Dynamic HTML site. If you don't know what this means, it's okay... we do, and that's why you probably should want to know us.
We build mobile apps. That means iPad, iPhone and Android. To be technical and clear, we use the Titanium framework to deploy to all these platforms just as a native app coded three separate times. How's that for killing three birds with one stone?
It's a fact. Your site will be seen on an iPhone or Android. If that's understood, then what are you doing about it? We can create a completely mobile version of your site to be viewed on those killer phones (and even iPad!).
Say Cheese! We are seasoned photographers here at Gauged2 and have some skills and gear to prove it. We not only shoot the pics but we also do all the editing and photo-manipulation in house. It's a rarity because most agencies work with freelancers for this skill, and we have it on-hand.
Lights, Camera, Motion! That's right, video too. We've all got a background in motionography as well as videography. We put these two in the same category because they really do flow together as one. So next vid you need and next time you have that paramount idea, keep us in mind to help you win an Oscar.
