Qrupa is based on a unique business model. It allows you to take advantage of the personal approach of a dedicated person. Plus the know-how of top web experts, the reliability of the leading agency and the flexibility of a large studio. All for the cost of a standard freelance team.
By working interactively with both you and our teams, we’re able to respond faster. And more precisely. By using online collaboration and communication tools, we save you both time and money. We’re also able to dispense with non-technical staff and traditional business overheads. Which results in a crisper service, and a much leaner price-to-you.
We have a core team capable of building just about any size of website or digital application. Reliably, responsively and very reasonably. We can also cherry-pick specialist expertise from our extended family, as and when we need it. We grow organically and adapt very quickly.
Our bridge between you and the development team is Patrick Krupa. He’s the founding owner of Qrupa – so you can be assured that your project is organised, managed and progressed by the top man.
Here are some clever tools which make our life much easier:
Dedicated server for development and hosting with 250GB storage, dual core 2.4GHz CPU and automated backup and monitoring.
Basecamp application for online project management.
Springloops SVN repository to keep the code tidy and synchronized.
Test PCs with Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8.
Test Apple Mac G4 – old and slow, so any badly made website will kill it instantly.
Skype for daily communication and Kashflow for online accounting.
Back-end coding: PHP + mySQL, Zend framework, plus plethora of server optimization tools and extensions
Front-end coding: HTML + CSS, Flash, Javascript (Prototype, Scriptaculous, JQuery, Mootools)
Content management: Wordpress, CMS Made Simple, Joomla, etc.
