Custom JavaScript Development

Our client-side developers are the best in the business. We are well versed in most of the popular frameworks – jQuery, Prototype, MooTools, etc. We can create custom JavaScript animations as an alternative to Flash (like the one your watching now), not to mention all the other cool “Web 2.0” stuff, like dynamic interfaces using AJAX and drag ‘n’ drop. Just check out schmedley.com for some perfect examples of the kinds of things we can do with JavaScript.

IPhone / iPad Development

We build native apps for the iPhone OS that can be installed on iPhone, iPod Touch and the new iPad. We also create web apps that are optimized for these interfaces, ensuring that the user experience is perfect on each device – check out dustin’s weather on your iPhone or iPod Touch for an example. For clients that want to optimize their website(s) for these environments, we can develop new stylesheets or a new version of your website customized for this purpose.

We’ve built many apps with the Google Maps API. Wether it be a city guide for local attractions, hotels & restaurants or self-contained widgets. For an example, check out the “Where to Buy” app (dealer locator) on the Mon Cheri Bridals website (shown to the right). If you’ve got an idea for a custom app on your website that uses Google Maps, we can help bring that idea to life.

I thought it might be fun to port one of the schmedley schmidgets (widgets) into a Facebook "application". Turns out, it was definitely not fun. In fact, it was a weekend filled with frustration.

JavaScript email cloaking

Here's another quick one. Below is a simple JavaScript that you can use to cloak your email address when posting it on your website. It dynamically writes the email link into the page which will thwart most spambots (server-side creation of the email link will always be a little more secure). Here's how we do it...

IE CSS hacks

In my web developing adventures, I've come across one definite truth - Internet Explorer is a big pain in the ass. Version 7 has come a long way from version 6, but it is still a bit quirky. Seeing as how I write code in a text editor (Coda is my tool of choice), I can plug away ... More...
