An Overview of Our Process

State is an interactive agency based in central Texas. We specialize in the design and development of web applications built with Ruby on Rails.

Our Process
Discovery

It sounds fancy but it’s simply the process of finding out where you are currently in regard to your goals on the web. It’s critical for us to assess your situation in order to offer intelligent solutions for moving forward. This process also involves checking out the competition and keeping up with current technology and trends as they relate to you and the web.

Design

We put our extensive skills and experience to work creating a slick visual system to ensure your users find the information they came for without a struggle. We also pride ourselves on strong logo and branding work and are eager to give your visual identity the tender loving care it deserves.

Development

While we tend not to evangelize one platform over another, we do enjoy working with Ruby on Rails. Our streamlined development process means a quality product for our clients that will grow with their needs.

Launch

Getting it out there is paramount. We hustle to make sure your project sees the light of day when you expect it to. After the high fives we analyize performance and make adjustments as needed.

His level head and savvy make him an invaluable sounding board at State. James is also an excellent photographer and a key member of the Cory Webb Media team.

Caedmon Judd

Lead Developer

It’s likely that Caedmon entered this world with keyboard in hand. He has a seemingly preternatural ability to wrangle a wide range of development platforms and programming languages. Caedmon's superior back-end skills enable us to take on logic-heavy projects that would intimidate most developers.
