About Us

We're a Tallahassee-based technology company committed to developing software for niche markets. Our greatest successes come from translating specialized business needs into simple, elegant applications designed with the end-user in mind.

As a small business, we remain flexible, focused, and treat our clients as partners. We move quickly, taking a perverse pride in finishing projects under schedule, and doing more with less. Simplicity is key to our work because our goal is simple: get things done. We've been in business since 2004, and love what we do.

Services

Our expertise spans several areas of information technology, with a focus on custom software development for the web. In addition, we also provide consulting services, design, software integration, and data management solutions.

Recent Projects:

Florida AFL-CIO
www.flaflcio.org
FLAFLCIO approached Bellwether to recreate their web presence. We built a full web portal to allow for rich, user-managed, on-demand content delivery. The site includes automated news feeds, rich text editing, and other popular content management features. flaflcio.org was developed from the ground up with Ruby on Rails.
The Florida Press Guide
www.flapressguide.com
Developed in collaboration with Ron Sachs Communications, we built the Guide as a sister site to the Lobbyist Directory and with a shared purpose: to provide highly accessible, searchable information on a sector we’d like to see strengthen communication with the public, in this case, Florida’s media leaders. We used the same technology and branding as the Lobbyist Directory, and continue to work on expanding our family of sites devoted to promoting transparency, accountability, and communication.
The Florida Lobbyist Directory
www.floridalobbyistdirectory.com
We created the Directory to provide a searchable, public research tool for those seeking information on registered Florida lobbyists. Developed in .NET 2.0, we designed a rich user interface for fluidly navigating complex searches and taking action against lobbyist data.
Florida High Schools Model United Nations
www.fhsmun.org
FHSMUN is only one of several MUN organizations we've served, but their need for a strong web portal with back-end content management to support frequently updated conference information makes them stand out as one of the most progressive MUN presences on the web. We were happy to build a custom application to fit their needs, and selected the Rails platform for its rapid delivery speed and responsiveness to future change.

We work fluently in both Microsoft technologies and open source platforms like Ruby on Rails (and yes, we think AJAX is pretty damn cool, too).
