Company’s News
2018 was rich in events. Not only have we been included to several rankings, but were working on other momentous changes.
All-New Website
We’ve completely redesigned our website and rebranded the company’s style. Why did we do it? Both of them were pretty obsolete, so our software engineers along with UI/UX designers took matters into their own hands and created something amazing.

Design
Design of the website and logo are now stricter and aligned with our corporate style. In addition, the website’s structure was entirely rethought to become more data-rich and useful for clients. Specifically, we added more value to the portfolio page by inhabiting it with project details.

Website performance
This point should be mentioned additionally. Our software engineers managed to achieve a fantastic performance using innovative technology stack. It’s especially seen when you jump between pages of the website.
Corporate colors
Our corporate colors have changed as well. We’ve moved away from a blue and red palette in favor of the grey and orange combination. Such a contrast has made our design look stricter yet not boring.
