Are You Paying Too Much for Rails Code?

If you're not getting working code with a feature set and a release date that meets you business needs, then the answer is YES. It doesn't matter how good your developers are or how slick they are about writing code, there's no point in paying for software that doesn't meet your needs.

At RailsCleanup, we believe that the customer should be deeply involved in making decisions about schedules, delivery, and code quality. It's our job to explain the tradeoffs to you, and to help you pick a feature set that makes sense at a quality level that's sustainable. But it's your job to figure out where your money is best spent. We've got extensive experience helping to turn a huge pile of feature ideas into a working first version that can ship, and then following up with incremental improvements to realize your vision.

Rails Rescues

If you've had a bad experience with another developer, or have a half-finished site that never seems to reflect your vision, call us. We'll be happy to give you a confidential evaluation of the efforts of your previous developers, and help you come up with a plan to put things back on track.

These "Rails Rescue" projects are our specialty, and we're good at them. We can work with your current team to bring their code and their skills up to scratch. Or if you've had it with your current team, we can take over in mid-project and get the code stabilized and then finished. With careful triage and smart help, just about any project can be driven to success by our team.

Rails from Start to Finish

If you don't have a single line of code written yet, we can help turn your dreams into reality. With decades of experience working with clients, we know what it takes to bring an idea forward into a full web application. We prefer to work in an agile fashion, spending some time up front to help organize your wish list into a series of features and requirements that can be prioritized - and reprioritized - as necessary. We don't mind a shifting specification, and will help you make tradeoffs as we go. We'll get a first version of your site up as quickly as possible, and then refine it in steps.

We can tackle anything from a simple customized site with some user- driven content to complex database-backed web applications. We've got experience with hooking up to other sites and building great user interfaces to help your product reach its full potential.

Extra Hands

Are you a development shop scrambling to cover customer commitments? With our distributed team experience, we're happy to be that extra pair of hands that you subcontract in to drive towards release. At your option, we can contract with you or directly with the ultimate client, and find places to contribute quickly and productively. If your team is in trouble, we can get you out before it becomes a "rescue" project.

Other Services

We also have experience in project management, training (on site or remote pairing), documentation, and server administration. Whatever your Rails needs, we're ready to discuss them and figure out how we can be a part of the solution.

Initial Consultation

Not sure whether you need a developer? Not sure whether you can afford one? Want an outside opinion on your ideas? Get in touch and we'll be happy to chat with you. There's no charge for the time we spend just exploring your ideas and discussing whether our experience and technology might be a good fit. We won't try to take advantage; if there's a better way to meet your goals than hiring us, we'll try to help you figure out what it is.
