Rhizome takes pride in how we design and build websites for our customers. In a nod to our theater background, we view websites as small, two-dimensional stage productions. Each scene features a unique aspect in how to best use technology. Our web developer, James McGrath, is a big believer in not using technology for technology’s sake, but rather using the best technology for complex endeavors and simpler solutions, when applicable. Our style sheets are by far, some of the most intricate in the online design-space and that is reflected in how well our sites perform and beautiful they look on the web.
Our sites are designed to work across all modern platforms and browsers while still allowing graceful degradation to accommodate older browsers. We favor open source technologies yet are open to any solution that best fits our client’s need. So whether we are upgrading an existing site or creating a new site from the ground up, you can rely on Rhizome to find and build the best online solutions.
