Ruby on Rails Development and Hosting
We have been building web sites and applications in Ruby and the Ruby on Rails framework for over 4 years. Our depth of experience means we’re not just great at Rails, but experts at creating a solution that’s right for you.
We’ve also designed hundreds of web sites using XHTML, JavaScript and CSS. In combination with our search engine optimization knowledge, not only will your site look great, we’ll make sure people can find it in Google, Yahoo & Bing.
We like to keep things as straight forward as possible at TGFI. The recommendations we make are thought out, the documents we produce provide insight at each step of the way and the processes we follow are always strong, flexible, and ensure success.
Our Rails Development Experience
We’ve built way more sites in Rails than we can fit on this page, but here are a few that we use personally on a regular basis:
- Horizon League – Watch college sports broadcast live, read up on the latest conference news and easily dive into the detailed player stats you need.
- Floormingo Discount Floors – Purchase hardwood and laminate flooring online at great prices.
- PinPoint Perks – We migrated this specialized discount site from PHP to Rails, adding speed, new features and flexibility.
- Just1Word – A new approach to the Bible for teens and young adults with over 100,000 pages of information.
