The Rietta Difference
At Rietta, Inc. we have a wealth of experience in Ruby and Ruby-on-Rails web development. We can deliver on time and within budget.
Why Rietta, Inc.? Not your same old, same old
Experienced
All companies tout their “experience,” listing all of the technologies they employ (see ours) or the number of years in business. But we don’t just have that experience, we embody that experience. Our business processes are designed from the ground up to incorporate the principles we’ve practiced in developing business applications for others.
Perhaps that’s why our clients keep coming back for more.
Transparent
What if you could know, almost in real time, how your project’s going - what has been done and how your expenses are running? At Rietta, you can. We are virtually transparent! We’ve integrated the coding, the reporting, and the billing so you always know where you stand. Can anyone else make that claim?
We didn’t think so.
Accessible
We’re a boutique technology company - in other words, we’re small by choice. The advantage to you is that you can always talk directly with the developer on your project. No one stands in between. You know what is being done, and why, because you’re talking to the person actually doing it. Our size lets us be nimble and responsive to every client.
Security-Based Development
The headlines say it every day: “Data breach at Company X.” Big or small, no company is immune to attack. But some are prepared.
We build security into every layer of every system we make, from technology controls to infrastructure, from the most basic system to the most complex. That includes staying deliberate about how AI-assisted coding tools get used on a project - they can speed up development, but they don’t come with a guarantee that the code they produce is secure, so nothing generated with them skips our normal security review process.
A Company is only as Good as its People, and Our People Are Good
