Firehaus Studio Inc. Information

We specialize in User Experience Design, rapid prototyping, Ruby on Rails, HTML5 and CSS3. We do all kinds of design from marketing campaigns to dynamic scalable sites. We've even won some awards. This is what we do different... We believe websites are organic. They move, they respond, they do stuff. They are not flat. We believe creating a good website means getting out of the flat world of Photoshop design comps and into the live HTML as quickly as possible. Design is design, regardless of the tools. We design websites using a rapid prototyping method, working directly in the live space using HTML5, CSS3, and Ruby on Rails. When it comes to wireframing, information architecture, specs, and design studies we do the bare minimum. In fact, we like to do almost none of these things. We think most of these steps happen naturally in the live space. Our process is specific. We believe in building small features quickly and learning as we go with frequent releases (sometimes every few days). Weekly releases feel good. Big drawn-out releases feel yucky. We like feeling good. The faster a website gets in the hands of real people, the faster we learn what they like. People know what they like, we trust them. Listening to people means we build what they need, and remove everything they don't need. We think this makes better tools.
