So we’ve returned safe and sober from the 2009 Drupalcon convention held in Washington, DC. I am kind of disappointed we didn’t whip up a cool seminar and show off some of the things we had worked on, or are working on. Next time we definately will. Though, who is going to spring for the trip to Drupalcon Paris? Well, we’ll figure that out.

I had a lot of time to think during the convention, comparing and contrasting us from other developers. It wasn’t until I took my car into Jiffy Lube this weekend that I put it all together.

You see, like Jiffy Lube, we provide a service. You bring your car to them, they dissect and analyze the cars performance, problem areas, etc, and discuss the solutions with you. They complete all of this in under a half hour. You can take your beater, BMW, or tricycle. They are qualified to service any vehicle. In a way, its not that different from developing websites.

When a client comes in the door, they have an idea. Whether its big or small, its an idea. We’re here to help that idea become a reality, to provide a value added service for you. Of which, we employ many of our programming toolsets and human talent in order to execute the idea to its fullest extent. It doesn’t matter what idea you bring to us, we’re going to pursue every possibility in building a solid, stable working relationship with the client so that both parties get what they want and more importantly, have fun while doing it. Everyone working in unison, a well oiled machine, just like a Jiffy Lube team.

When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re going to see some serious shit.

Small town, small company. Big talent, big ideas. You don’t have to be some fifty plus sized company in a NYC loft to be big time.

If you think small, you’ll be small.

Folks know value when they see it too, which is why they come to us. There are a lot of patchwork web companies around the world. What is a patchwork web company? Well, in simplest terms, a patchwork web company is one that slaps together images and premade code for a cheaper price just to complete a contract. This leaves the customer unsatisfied long term, and their website is a house of cards waiting to implode. For example, most people are content getting by by selling someone a Wordpress site with a design template for $2000 or less. Short term, it pays the bills for the shop, and feels good for the client to pay so little. But as time moves on, they will see they got what they paid for. Locked into the framework unable to scale or adapt new ideas, unreliable hosting uptime, and no true ‘ownership’ of their website.

If you can’t change aspects of the site, then you don’t really own it!

In these terms, it always reminds me of my favorite Tom Green skit, Undercutters Pizza.

There’s always someone out there somewhere, ambulance chasing, bidding low to win your favor and screwing you in the end.

That’s heavy, Doc.

Right. So what does it all mean? Caveat emptor, you get what you pay for. We may be a little bit higher than other companies, but we’re going to stand behind you and your site because that’s what you deserve. Inclind has a vested interest in your future, not hitting the road once you’ve paid us. Your future is our future. It’s a symbiotic relationship.

We’re poised for big things this year. You’re welcome to join us.

Hit it, Marty.
