I’ve been busy with work (which is a good thing, I suppose), and so I haven’t been able to write many entries recently. I’m working as contractor for rd2 (yeah, they always seem to write it in lowercase). The name “rd2” outlines their development process, “Research, Design, Develop”, and the company was started by a friend of mine who worked at Hybrid with me.
The company is relatively small, and I enjoy that type of environment. I’m doing front-end coding for them and I’m able to work from home most days as well. It looks like a decent company and I’m pleased with how it’s working out so far.
Hopefully one of your first projects will be to work on rd2’s site… so that, ya know, it actually has *content*.
Sounds frighteningly familiar to the buzzphrase “3D methodology: Design, Develop, Deliver” from the early days at AIVIA, as well as just about every other web firm from that era. ;-)
Congrats, hope it works out.
Strange though . . . on the company logo they use capital letters.
Charles: Yeah, I suppose they do use capital letters there. Maybe it’s just creative license ;).
I hear you loud and clear on the *content* for the rd2inc.com website. And, without the content or the experience of seeing where we want to go with this, you might get those deep down chills when recalling those infamous methodologies of the dot-gonners.
Simply put, RD2 has some very simple goals in mind. We want to satisfy our creative energy by going after really cool clients and projects. We want to work with people that we really like. And we feel that we are able to show our clients the difference between good and Great design. It seems that with the perils of the last couple of years, the creative values have been pounded into submission. There are still a few of us fighting to bring great design and execution to our clients though. RD2 is here to make that claim,,, holding fast to the idea that our company can be a technology company that can also be really great at design.
Alex, when I am ready to put our words on the web, do you think you can do that job for us too?
