About | Arias design studios
All of our services are done in-house… and that’s something that will never change
We don’t offshore… Ever
We receive calls or e-mails almost every week from offshore development companies offering web design and development services for a low hourly rate. To some agencies, the potential profit margin might initially seem tempting, but we always pass on this “great opportunity” every time. Here’s why…
Quality Control
We always guarantee quality to our clients. Our experience is that the quality of the code delivered by offshore channels is often severely lacking. Commonly these companies deliver applications which use large blocks of procedural code and no centralization of reusable components.
We specialize in redesigning and rewriting web applications which have been outsourced to developers overseas where the delivered applications are unreliable, unmanageable, not secure and/or full of bugs.
We’re a passionate, highly skilled group of web geeks with real industry experience. We’re more than qualified to get it done… so why would we trust someone else with our reputation and our client’s deliverables? We just don’t.
Keep It Simple
By using our own trusted in-house resources and knowing that our products are built the right way, we don’t have to worry about incurring ongoing technical issues.
Using outsourced resources increases security and privacy concerns while introducing potential technical problems that will require extra work to fix. There are extreme cultural differences that result in a huge gap between how other cultures work and how you might expect them to work. Communication problems, misunderstandings, and rework is the norm, not the exception. Sure, there might be some good offshore developers out there… but we only ever hear about the bad ones.
Having developers in-house makes it quick and easy to make changes, or speed up a project. Also, having late night conference calls during dinner time doesn’t help the home-life.
We Don’t Do ‘Cheap’ Work
We like to build trusted relationships with our clients, and a lot of effort goes in to the quality of our projects – like good design, smart user-interface design, quality assurance, and project management. As well as solid, sturdy and secure coding that we can be proud of.
We don’t wish to just churn out development projects. We take the time to understand the project from the outset, to make good development decisions early on, and to build in a way that any developer (e.g. new developers we hire over time) would be happy to come along and understand the coding processes used in a project.
But cutting corners more often than not means cutting quality, and we don’t ever want to cut quality – we like our clients too much!
