2 Introducing Beget Our Mission Our mission is to create affordable alternatives to complex sites, allowing access by anyone, anywhere, on any device. When a customer sees your site whether on their phone, tablet, or computer they should see your company and its core message clearly, regardless of the window they look through. We get that. That s what we do. Our Services What We Do Drupal Design and Development While every project s unique and the tools selected will be based on your requirements, we find that Drupal scales well and can be used as the framework for sites of any size, security, or integrity level. We are experts on the Drupal API and extending its core. We are also experts in custom theme, module, and entity development; legacy integration; performance tuning; and making Drupal play well with mobile devices and assistive technologies. We can work in other CMS platforms such as Magento and WordPress, but we do so usually during migrations or integrations with Drupal. We are active the in the open source, Drupal, and web accessibility communities and collaborate regularly with the thought leaders in these fields. The end result is a better product, increased ROI, and a better user experience for your customers. Responsive Design One size does not fit all and your customers should not have to struggle to see your webpage on their phone. Responsive design is the solution for having to pinch-and-zoom to make your site legible on smartphones and tablets. It s a methodology for making your site respond to the variety of devices your customers use, by serving out a version that s optimized for their specific device. We make use of what works from your existing site, modify it to be responsive, and do this for far less than developing a mobile version of your site or a mobile app. We also develop tailor-made responsive designs for new projects. ios, Android, and Windows 8 App Development Responsive design and mobile versions of an existing website cannot replace the uniquely familiar experience Apple, Google, and now Microsoft have worked so hard to hone. Our developers have demonstrated ios and Android development expertise, and we are working now on apps for Windows 8 surface tablets and smartphones. Do you have an existing ios or Android app that you d like to port to Windows 8? We can do that. V Beget, LLC Public 14 Dec 2012 Page 1 of 4

3 Web Accessibility Beget believes in web accessibility. We know you are not intentionally designing a site that s illegible to customers using assistive technologies. It s not your intent, but if this is the first time you ve heard the term web accessibility, it is likely your reality. Web accessibility benefits people without disabilities too. For example, many of the tactics we employ benefit people with limited bandwidth, poor screen contrast ratios, and people who may be temporarily disabled such as someone with temporary blindness or a broken arm. Did we mention that improving your website s accessibility has SEO benefits? That s right. Google and other major search engines favorably rank your site when you employ web accessibility. Whether you are legally compelled to make your website accessible via Section 508 compliance, or you want to provide equal access to your customers, Beget has the expertise to make your website accessible. HTML5/CSS3 Slice-and-dice and Custom Theming For smaller projects, we take off-the-shelf themes and tailor them to suit. Or, for your more brand conscious and larger projects, we create new themes based on collaborative creative sessions and your existing branding guidelines. If you ve put a lot into your existing brand, we ll make sure your website reflects that. We output clean, well commented, and platform independent HTML5 and CSS3 that s ready to use and not outdated by the time we deliver it. We are proficient with modern responsive design frameworks, the Twitter bootstrap, and more niche frameworks like Skeleton and Gumby.
