Nomad Cows offers design, development, and consulting services for Web sites, Web applications, and software. We offer our services to large and small companies, artists, and non-profit organizations. We also provide technical writing services for product documentation, instructional material, marketing briefs and technical white papers. Last but not least, we specialize in the design of easy-to-use and intuitive interfaces. See below for more information about each of the services offered.

web
Nomad Cows delivers end-to-end Web-based solutions. We also work with existing teams to deliver key parts of major projects. Whether you need a Web site, a place for e-commerce, an intranet, extranet, or a full-featured Web application, Nomad Cows will deliver the product fit perfectly to you, your customer or audience, and your budget.

software
Nomad Cows can deliver your software needs whether you need a new solution developed from scratch, need tools to accompany a Web-based solution, or are looking for a custom-built Microsoft Office solution.

Database architecture and development is another specialty, particularly when tied to software or Web-based projects. We enjoy all types of database projects from enterprise-sized data environments to small-business-oriented data solutions.

user interface design and usability
Our philosophy is that if anyone feels stupid or frustrated, or simply doesn't enjoy using any piece of software (Web sites included!), the developers and designers have not done their job well. We go out of our way to make sure the user interfaces we design are fun and friendly, yet professional and clean. They need to be intuitive and obvious. We want to see smiles on your customers' faces!

You automatically get our expertise and passion in this area when we do your Web or software project. But even if we aren't building your site or tool for you, we would be more than happy to evaluate and test your current or proposed interface designs. We test your designs against your target audience and we provide you with valuable data - quantitative and qualitative - to justify any changes we may suggest.

technical writing and teaching
Successfully showing another person how to do something, or explaining a complex concept, using only pictures and written words is not always the easiest thing to do. Nomad Cows has quite a bit of experience doing just this type of writing. The folks here are excellent at understanding and conceptualizing the most complicated of technical concepts, and then translating them into clear and coherent language that just about anybody can understand.

Showing that person how to do the same thing with spoken works, live interaction, and a white-board is a little easier, but we bring the same skill of translation and clear explanation to your classroom. If you have a team of non-technical or semi-technical employees that need to get up to speed quickly on a particular technology, and you want them to have a well-formed foundation of understanding and knowledge, just ask us to come in and get them ready for you.

You automatically get our personal instruction and excellent documentation with our Web and software solutions since we teach you as much as you wish to know about your project. Then you can maintain it yourself when possible, which saves you money and time.
