Web Development

Rails, Node, HTML5, jQuery. We have you covered.

Twelve years ago, you could own your market with a any old thing that was online. Just the fact that your brand was on the Internet gave you an advantage over your competition. Yes, it was expensive because it was relatively new, but the innovation curve was steep.

Six years ago, simply having a presence didn’t mean much anymore. Anyone or thing who was anyone or thing had something on the Internet. Nope. Now you had to have a website that offered information, news, entertainment, tips something above and beyond your basic info, contact methods and mission statement. You needed a publishing platform that would amplify your message and keep you relevant in a sea of growing noise.

Two years ago, this stopped being enough. Every company, celebrity, etc has a blog with comments that gets updated at least somewhat regularly. But with the crushing amount of information and noise online, you couldn’t expect your customers to come to you. You had to start going to them. Call it the Social Media or Interent Marketing era. This is where we currently live. Businesses and individuals are beginning to realize they need to engage their target market where they “live” online, which, right now, is Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and those guys.

But, there is a new shift from people looking to grab yet another competitive advantage. We’re seeing traditional companies really wanting to push innovation.
Applications and products that, traditionally, were left to startups to build are starting to be conceptualized by companies looking to expand their presence.

Gunner Technology specializes in Ruby on Rails, Node.js and iOS application development with expert-level skills in Ruby, JavaScript, Objective C, SQL, MongoDB, jQuery, HTML5, CSS3, Nginx, Passenger and more. Gunner Technology also is an official partner with leading platform-as-a-service companies, Heroku and Engine Yard.

Our primary clients in this area fall into two buckets:

Startups

Early-stage startups need something built - now. These startups contract with Gunner Technology to build their idea so they can get it in front of potential investors and users as soon as possible. Gunner Technology has helped numerous startups make their vision become a reality.

Large Enterprises

Companies such as ESPN, Disney and Sony are often stuck on legacy systems that make development slow and operations expensive. Gunner Technology has moved massive Java, PHP and C(++) applications to more nimble technologies such as Ruby on Rails and Node.js. By taking advantage of a larger pool of talent and better open source resources, these companies are able to save a large portion of their budgets.

Because of our close relationship with Heroku and Engine Yard, we are able to move companies' infrastructure to the cloud, freeing up system administration resources and producing cost savings as high as 78%.
