We build web applications that can be managed and maintained easily with our fully-customized Content Management Systems (or CMS). We take the time and effort to design the perfect CMS for each client, so that you can maintain your web site without having to constantly rely on developers to make updates. If you are on a shoe-string budget, and cannot afford to invest in a CMS, no problem. We have low-cost, monthly content management plans that are perfect for a growing company. We strive to accommodate every website-related need you may have.
We are fully equiped to handle both large and small projects. We are able to do this because we are well versed in the most cutting edge technologies, and we have built up a network of fully-trained industry professionals. We know when it makes sense to implement Open Source solutions vs designing solutions from the ground up. And while most of our developmet is done in-house, we are not afraid to call in a specialist if that's what it takes to provide you with exactly what you need.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Bob Buechler has over 12 years of IT Customer Service and Support experience. He specializes in client communication, application testing and design, user interfaces and project management.
Nathan Harris has spent the last 10 years designing and developing custom web applications for political organizations, non-profits, the financial industry, the U.S. government, and various creative types.
We strive to provide a superior product, at a reasonable price. Large development firms charge $10K+ for websites we can profitibly build for much less. We believe that small and medium-sized businesses must have a top-quality website to survive in today's web-fuled world. The problem has been, until recently, only large corporations could afford a properly constructed, highly marketable website. This is where a botique firm like ours comes in.
We price our services by the hour, and will work with you to clearly define the parameters of your project, so that we can provide you with an accurate estimate.

The brain child of actor Doug Hutchison; Vampire Killers is an online, webisodic series about a massive coven of sexy vampires, and the small group of contract killers mysteriously hired to destroy them.
Doug hired the best in the business to photograph the stars and to design the graphical elements of the site. We were brought on board to make it all come to life.
Originally hired to create a static, PHP-based site, it quickly became clear to Doug that he desired something far more immersive and cinematic. So, we switched gears in mid-project, completely scrapping everything we had, and immediately began constructing a fully Flash-animated site, complete with a background score composed by NIN frontman Trent Reznor.
WM3.org is the project that eventually started Red Raven Software. Bob Buechler was originally brought on board to redesign the site, but did not have the necessary SQL and PHP knowledge to pull off what he knew really needed to be done. So, he posted a request for assistance and Nathan Harris answered the call.
Together, Bob and Nathan worked for six months on this mammoth site, which at the time spanned some 800 pages of specialized content. It has since grown to over 2000 pages, and is in the process of being overhauled for enhanced performance and security. WM3.org is Red Raven's first, and therefore oldest ongoing client.
We are happy to continue donating our services to their cause, free of charge.
As is common in this industry, we were referred to A.A.S. to help them completely overhaul their site. They were complaining that their old site was too restrictive and that it didn't give them much room for their content. After a brief evaluation, we concluded that, while visually pretty, their old design provided them with barely any usable screen space, with the added bonus of also being overloaded with extraneous, time-consuming animation.
So we set out to provide them with a design that scaled with the user's screen resolution, and maximized the useable space wherever possible, while still maintaining the sporty, slick edge that they were after.
A fully customized CMS was built as well, allowing them direct and dynamic access to their content, at any time.
Kathy came to us requesting an artistic portfolio website.
She had very clear design ideas, and specific functionality requirements. This significantly streamlined the process, allowing for rapid development.
The approach was simple, yet elegant, and the result is a fast-loading site that stays minimalistic while maintaining her strong sense of style.
Chad's request was very straight forward. He wanted to keep his existing design, and change it from a static HTML site, to a fully updateable SQL site.
So, we simply sliced and diced his design, and pieced it all back together again in PHP. Then we built him a custom CMS and turned him loose.
We really appreciate Chad's approach, because his site's design never gets in his way. It really lets his artwork shine through unmolested by a distracting layout.
The best part? Comparing old and new versions of the site, you'd never even know we were there.
The company came to us with some branding graphics and a one-page online business card. They told us what content they wanted to display, and left the rest in our hands.
We took their established brand concept, and expanded the concept into a full-blown production portfolio site, 100% consistent with their vision.
They were thrilled with the end result.
The gallery owners had no pre-existing website, and only one rough composite sketch from a previous developer to base their desires off of.
We worked with them to flesh out the idea completely, build the site exactly to their specifications, with a custom CMS to match.
One of the unique features of this site is a CMS-controlled scrolling image gallery that is completely dynamic in nature. All of the content for each instance of the gallery is maintained by the client.
The client came to us requesting that an existing composite be developed into a full site. They already had the design handled, and needed someone to put it online for them.
We not only created the site, but helped them set up their Paypal shopping cart and eBay sales. We even helped train them on how to use the various services.
