Can you believe that? I mean, what is Chicago known for anyway? In my book, it’s three things: Meat, meat and more meat.

Here’s a bright idea… howsabout you send the real expert to Chicago, and you guys stay home and type on your fancy-pants computer-dealies and build your little websites and iPhone apps? I’ll even drop by your little geek-jamboree, just to keep things nice and legit for the IRS.

I am so out of here when I’m old enough to drive…

Introducing Rapid Development Group

GRAND RAPIDS, MI. – April 20 – In today’s market, companies are rethinking entrenched processes — from product development to sales and marketing — all in an effort to deliver high-quality results at lower cost. A team of experienced web developers from Grand Rapids, MI have responded to this demand for cost-effectiveness by forming Rapid Development Group.

Rapid Development Group is a lightweight and nimble web development team focused on high-quality implementations of complex web sites and web applications. Rapid Development Group has broad knowledge and experience with a wide assortment of web technologies and specializes in the following areas:

Content Management Systems
Rapid Development Group has developed sites using a variety of prominent CMS platforms including Drupal, Plone, Django, Interwoven TeamSite, and Ektron CMS400.

Custom Web Applications
The web is no longer just a vehicle for read-only content. Users expect to be able to interact with pages in advanced ways, and Rapid Development Group helps deliver on this expectation. Rapid Development Group builds web applications as complex as customer-relationship management systems (CRM), or as simple as cost calculation tools to highlight product or service advantages. Rapid Development Group is expert in languages such as JavaScript, PHP and C#, and frameworks including ASP.NET and jQuery.

Optimized Relational Databases
Rapid Development Group is proficient in designing, implementing, and optimizing MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server databases along with complementary technologies such as SQL Server Reporting Services.

Clean, Search-Friendly Design Implementations
Some jobs don’t call for a fully database-driven site architecture. This doesn’t remove the need for experts. Even if the content of a site never changes, it’s important to get the implementation right. When clients hand off a design concept for implementation, Rapid Development Group starts asking the hard questions. How should this design react to changing window sizes? Mobile devices? Screen readers? Rapid Development Group will ensure that the code is clean and bullet-proof, so that the message isn’t lost in the least forgiving of mediums.

Rapid Development Group provides fixed-bid estimates for web development projects, and also is available on an hourly consulting basis. Visit them at http://rapiddg.com or call 1-866-582-7555.
