Development Services

At Planet Argon it is our aim to create well crafted web applications that are thoughtful, simple, and elegant using a team-driven design, development, and deployment process. We firmly believe that dialogue, collaboration, and agility are essential to a successful project. We do not believe that software can be designed entirely upfront, but rather that it evolves and that our understanding develops as the software is created. By consulting our clients on the multiple phases of a software development project, we provide not only a quality product, but a quality process, that empowers our clients and supports their goals. We craft experiences, for the people who use our software, for our clients, and for ourselves.

“I walked into Planet Argon with a very ambitious and demanding project, far beyond your typical “Web 2.0” Rails apps. Argon has been extremely responsive throughout the development process, and I am extremely pleased with the quality of not only the code they’ve created, but also the interactions we’ve had throughout the development process. They have laid the foundation for a bright, successful future for us on the Web..”

We Build Solutions

There are a great number of pre-built systems out there for almost any general need, and one of those might work for some projects, but not for all, and certainly not for projects that require a higher level of control, customization and creativity. For those projects, we are here. In fact, that is why we are here.

We Facilitate Creativity

Ultimately, we are here to help you bring your ideas to fruition. Whether it be a small internal application for managing your sales leads or a full-featured e-commerce application, PLANET ARGON is ready to help you develop a custom tailored solution.

“We have been very pleased working with Planet Argon. We came to them with a deadline that others could not meet, and they finished the project in record time. They have done a fantastic job in keeping up with our requests, and have offered creative ideas to improve our projects. We are very happy with the results, and look forward to continue working with Planet Argon.”

We Look Ahead

Need help with an existing application? We do that too! In fact, with every project we take on, future development is always kept in mind. When you choose PLANET ARGON to work on your legacy system, you can be confindant that our changes will make future changes easier, not more complicated.

We Are Flexible

Many of our clients hire us for development alone. Others want the full package: development and design. Some projects require no more than a single developer, and others demand an entire team. And still others, fall somewhere in between all of these requirements. What ever the needs of your project, PLANET ARGON can scale to meet them.

We Focus on People

We like applications that are easy to use. So, when we build something, usability is a top priority. That’s why we like empower our clients to involve themselves (and their team) in the process, not just merely informing them of what we are doing (although that’s important too). After all, no one knows the ins and outs of your idea better than you.

“...clearly among the best and brightest in their field and it was apparent at every step of the process. Robby helped us understand the nature of the problem we were facing and then worked TOGETHER with us in creating an innovative, groundbreaking and elegant solution. It’s hard to imagine that there’s a company out there that can deliver this kind of quality and customer service but PLANET ARGON have delivered as promised..”

We Have Fun

This may not seem that important, but no one likes to work with a company who doesn’t enjoy what they do. We love what we do, and that is a key ingredient for the success of any project. We do this work because we love it, not because we have to. And that translates into projects that both Planet Argon and our clients can be proud of.

“My firm develops sites exclusively on Linux, most using PHP/MySQL, some use PostgreSQL. We highly recommend Planet Argon. Our main contact there is Robby Russell. He is a consummate professional, pays close attention to detail, and like our team, has an outstanding work ethic. He’ll be there when you need him. As with any programming project, it will be done on time and on budget provided there are no changes in scope.”
