O'Design

In English | Suomeksi

O´Design develops web applications and provides consulting and training on web application framework Ruby on Rails.
We're located in Tampere, Finland, but serve customers from all over the world.

Hi! I'm Jarkko Laine and I'm the head of O'Design. If you're interested in slimy elevator pitches and pages that look good in Internet Explorer only, you're in wrong place. We cut the crap, talk clear English and never lie to our customers. Our solutions are also always complying with the W3C standards.

So if you need a site that's not only browser independent, accessible and usable — but also useful, drop us a mail.

This is how we work

Less talk
We like to show rather than tell. There are no people working for us whose only job is to talk the customer's ear off.
+ Less software
Software and websites are always means, never the end. Our goal is to solve a problem, not to build software.
+ Less lying
We stole this from ArsDigita: we never lie to customer. If the job is late because we rather slept away our hangover, we'll be the first ones to tell it.
= More value to the customer

We select the best framework for the job on a case-by-case basis. So far all of our projects have been built upon frameworks that use scripting languages: Ruby on Rails or OpenACS.
