Custom web application development in Vancouver, Canada
Testimonials
We had an urgent requirement to add some functionality to a new web
page that involved skills that I do not have. Ryan took the list of
requirements and added the functionality in very short order. His coding
skills are exceptional and he develops code that is understandable and
easily supportable. Thanks Ryan for being available and saving me
considerable time in having to do the development myself. I highly
recommend Ryan for new development or for just adding functionality to
existing web pages. We will definitely keep him on our list of resources
for future projects.

Senior Solutions Consultant, Xerox Canada
We have been singing the praises of Ryan Fugger for weeks – right from the
outset, he was quick to understand our needs, and since that time, he has
taken every idea/direction we've thrown his way and made it better,
suggesting many positive new directions of his own along the way. He's
thorough, responsive, and just plain smart… which has made for a very
satisfying work process! During the test and launch phases of our website,
he has made himself extremely available for quick fixes and last-minute
tweaks… answering emails at all times of day and night, and offering up
quick and effective solutions to every issue that has come up. The end
result has been a significantly streamlined admin process for us and a very
pleasing web experience for our customers. We will be passing Ryan's name
along anytime we hear of somebody in the market for a stellar web
programmer!

Ryan Fugger did an excellent job of programming the
searchable plant database on our new website and was a great asset to our
website building team. He showed interest in our project from our initial
meeting and was very easy to work with. I found him to be creative and
intuitive as well as helpful, patient, prompt in communicating, and flexible.
I highly recommend him!
