Manic Development is a web development & consulting company. Since 1999 we’ve worked with businesses of all sizes from tiny startups to large corporations such as MTV and DIRECTV, and on sites ranging from small and simple to high-performance and mission-critical. You can be sure we have the knowledge and experience to help you achieve success. Some of the things we bring to every project include:

• Intelligent architecture

  Many projects fail to launch, are difficult to maintain, or are nearly impossible to extend due to poor planning and execution. This can add up to huge amounts of wasted time and money. We make sure to do it right the first time.

• Agile development

  Agile development is a process that involves short, iterative development cycles, and fast feedback between the client and development team. One of the many advantages of this process is the ability to quickly adapt to changing needs. We subscribe to the Agile Manifesto.

• Less is more

  Albert Einstein once said “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler”, and we’re firm believers in that. We take a no nonsense approach to web development, and in doing so deliver elegant, focused software that’s easy to use.

• User-friendly interfaces

  The user experience is one of the most important factors of any software and can mean the difference between success and failure. We place great emphasis on building the best possible user interface.

• Fully-automated testing

  An automated test suite (as opposed to error-prone, manual testing) ensures your site is always working as expected. Don’t wait for your users to tell you something’s broken!

• Web standards

  The web development world has several standards that, if adhered to, guarantees your site will be accessible to the widest possible audience. Following the various web standards also allows your site to better interact with external services such as search engines.

• Best-of-breed technologies

  By utilizing some of the best technologies for web development including Ruby on Rails, MySQL and Linux, we’re able to deliver a solid product within tight constraints. You know the old adage “use the right tool for the job”? It applies to web development, too.
