We bend, twist & mold the Internet
to create competitive advantages for you.

There's more to the Internet than "websites". Companies, throughout the world, rely on us to create and implement business-savvy Internet strategies that provide true competitive advantages. We've worked for: Disney, Nike, Adidas, Intel, AOL, Надра Банк, Under Armour, BBC, de Volkskrant and many others.
 
How we do it
Not only can we develop traditional (Black&White) projects, but our mastery of automated browsing agents allows us to also offer exclusive "Gray Arts", which are those things that either you don't have the experience to do, or should be done by someone else. 		   
 

Black&White Arts
Even without our "gray arts", we still excel at the all things other shops do, but we are always focused on providing a competitive advantage.
Offshore Services (emosyne india)
If the project fits, we can do strategy and design in the US and co-manage and develop the code at our office in Pune India. With offices in both North America and Asia, its alsmost like being open 24 hours a day.
Multilingual websites
Multilingual websites are more difficult to develop than they first appear. We have experience (we have stories to tell) developing miltilingual websites, and we can do it without creating a separate website for each language.
Social networks
Social networking is the hottest trend on the web. With a social network, your customers are encouraged to build a network of friends to support your product. These friends also encourage their friends to join. Ultimately, your web traffic grows expenentially.
Intranets
Excel is handy, but it isn't something to run a business on, unless you have a one-person company. It's better to convert your Excel documents into a intranet application that:
  • Places all your data in one place (a database)
  • Makes your data available anywhere in the world
  • Creates the report, appropriate to the viewer & situation
  • Facilitates collaboration
  • Provides separate access to managers, employees, vendors, etc.
  • Uses email to alert you of changes or to send daily reports
We also have experience with corporate social networking and corporate wikis.
Website Maintenance Contracts
We can leverage the time difference in India to provide ongoing maintenance to your website. We will keep your content & graphics fresh, your SEO (search engine optimization) current and your site tested and secure.
 
 
The Gray Arts
 
 
These are the creative (mis)uses of the Internet that elude your competitors and may yeild incredible competitive advantages for you.
AutomationBots
We can automate most Internet tasks to save time, cost and reduce error. For example, we're the people to talk to if you need to regularly access court records, send automated mailings, track packages, do background checkes on people, cars, etc.
BuyBots & Snipers
ProcurementBots & Snipers watch the Internet and either alert you to buying opportunities or they make purchases on your behalf.
SpyBots & SecretShopperBots
SpyBots keep an eye on your competitor's help wanted pages. Likewise, SecretShopperBots keep you abreast of your competitor's pricing strategies.
ValidationBots
ValidationBots can test the rotation of banner ads or report unauthorized website changes made by hackers, etc. You can hire us to test your new websites from India while your developers sleep.
RumorBots
RumorBots watch websites, blogs and news groups to see what people are saying about your company and products.
