Are you in the United States? Andrei and Chris are also in the US.

People
We’re a tight-knit group of designers — Alan Colville and Jon Tan — and developers — Andrei Zmievski, Chris Shiflett, and Jon Gibbins. Between us, we’ve authored and coauthored half a dozen books; given more than a hundred talks at conferences like OSCON, South by Southwest, FOWA, and Webstock; and helped the likes of Yahoo, Digg, National Geographic, Visa, and BlackBerry.
Earlier, Jon Tan was musing on a flying visit to Austin just because so many absent friends are in one place at one time. A few days ago, Chris was in Montréal for ConFoo. Jon Gibbins was unboxing his new MacBook Pro. Alan was enjoying lunch with Jon Tan and Jon Gibbins at the Watershed. Andrei was warming his hands on a large chai latte.
Technique
Simple, beautiful web sites don’t happen by chance; they’re planned. Our process is tried and true, and we like to have fun, too.
-
Plan:
Is the concept good? We talk to you, research your competitors and customers, and learn everything we can to help us plot a clear course.
-
Prototype:
Bring the concept to life. We sketch on paper and in code, shaping ideas into a prototype, which we test and present to ensure we’re on track.
-
Publish:
Imagination, design, and engineering fuse, with careful crafting. Launch and celebrate. Throw open the doors; here come the people!
