List of Services

  • Ruby

    From low-level Ruby workers to Service-Oriented Ruby on Rails clustered applications, we've been slinging Ruby since our beginnings.

  • Node

    Whether you need Meteor, Express, MEAN or another Node.js platform, we have the chops to build a solution that suits your needs.

  • Ionic

    When it comes to mobile platforms, we excel at creating unique, usable apps and specialize in implementing and desiging apps for the Ionic framework.

  • JavaScript MVC

    We specialize in Angular, Ember and React frameworks for fast client-side applications.

    These fast and responsive apps work offline and immediately engage your audience without requiring a visit to an app store.

  • Front End Development

    Semantic HTML and modular, reusable, maintainable CSS ensure your app can scale on the client side.

  • Responsive Design

    Everything we build looks fantastic on the screen sizes and orientations you need.

OUR APPROACH

The way we approach projects at Bendyworks can be summed up in a single word: flexibility. Our entire process revolves around staying nimble and adaptable to your needs.

Illustration - We talk to you. A lot.

We talk with you. A lot.

Agile course correction requires constant feedback, and we keep our lines of communication clear and free for our clients. Bendyworks believes in daily, efficient contact in a way that works for you. Which means you’ll never be left wondering how the project is coming along.

Illustration - We don't do fixed bids.

We don't do fixed bids.

Because we charge by time and materials, you can change the scope of your project in a natural way as it evolves. Need new features? Need to stop a project and start it up again later? No need to rework a contract, Bendyworks will adjust to your needs on the fly.

Illustration - We work in pairs.

We work in pairs.

Two brains are better than one, especially when it comes to coding and design. We adhere to the agile principle of pair programming to improve the accuracy, elegance, and development time of the software we write for you. With constant code review, superior project navigation, and instant bug detection, there really is no better way to develop software.

Illustration - We use BDD and TDD

We use BDD and TDD.

When it comes time to fully flesh out your project, we take the traditional development path and turn it on its head. How? By using Test Driven Development and Behavior Driven Development, which both dramatically speed up the development time and improve the accuracy of a project.

Illustration - We use the right tools.

We use the right tools.

At Bendyworks we believe you should use a hammer when you need a hammer, and a wrench when you need a wrench. From Ruby on Rails to Cocoa Touch, we’re equipped and skilled with the most effective development and design tools the digital world has to offer. We won’t ever use the wrong solution to the problem just because “we know this particular technology.”

Illustration - We have an integrated team

We have an integrated team.

There are a lot of bright brains under our company’s roof, and they’re all great at something different. Which means our skill set isn’t just deep, but quite wide as well. From planning to UX and design to development on nearly any platform, we can take your product from back-of-the-napkin idea to execution.
