We work for you.
Someone on your team for the technical side, without the cost or headache of hiring in-house.
Why RidgeX exists
Most businesses pay every month, per person, for software built for everybody, and use a small part of it. The bill grows every time you hire. Building your own around how you work used to be too costly. It isn’t anymore.
So we work as part of your team. We learn how your business runs, build what fits it, and stay to keep it running. When something is better to keep paying for than to build, we tell you that too.
We’re small on purpose. The person who learns your business is the person who does the work.
Our philosophy
When a website or system doesn’t work, it’s rarely the code or the design. It’s that nobody took the time to define what success looks like before it was built.
Most agencies start with how it should look. We start with what it needs to accomplish, so every engagement begins with business analysis.
- We learn how the work actually happens. We talk to the people doing it, as well as the person who signs off.
- We define the goal before anything gets built. What needs to change, what doesn’t, and what it will cost.
- We recommend what fits. Sometimes the answer is a new site or a custom tool. Sometimes it’s a step in your workflow that can be automated or cut entirely.
A good-looking site that doesn’t do its job is still a problem.
What you can count on.
The only money we make from working with you is what you pay us. Every recommendation is about what’s best for your business.
You talk to the people doing the work, the whole way through.
Where we came from
We’re a small team of designers, developers and business analysts, with more than thirty years of experience between us, backed by over a decade of custom development work.
Our background is public-sector work as much as commercial. Purchase orders, written scopes and procurement rules are familiar to us.
We work across every American time zone.
