First, we meet with the client and absorb the idea of the project. Taking the time to understand their idea ensures their core vision is communicated to our team. Then we proceed in mapping out a plan of how each of the following phases will transpire.
Here, the visual look of the project is refined. Moving from wireframes to basic mockups, our designers receive feedback from clients as they move through iterations toward finished mockups. User interfaces are refined, yielding themselves to a user experience in line with the original vision.
Our developers are building the backend architecture to power the application. Applying an agile technique, they create a robust and scalable application. The framework takes shape and is ultimately joined with the visual design. Voila! The application comes to life.
We value long-term relationships with our clients; that's why we continue to make ourselves available to them long after we help deploy their first application. Following a successful product launch, our team continues to monitor, maintain and update projects where there is a need.

We often find ourselves asking our co-workers, "Does anybody have recommendations for #{task X}?" Frequently, the collective response is based on little more than, "Well, in the past, I had success with #{solution Y}." This is the first in a series of blog posts in which we search for a more empirical answer.
In this case, we have taken over an old rails 2.0.2 application, largely unmaintained for some time. The app allows users to exchange and compare code snippets in a variety of languages. As one of our first tasks in refactoring and updating this app, we have decided to move the task of syntax-highlighting those code snippets from the server into a client-side javascript function. A cursory examination reveals several candidates: highlight.js, prettify, jquery-syntax, syntaxhighlighter, shjs, and lighterjs.
