the everlasting meeting

"If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be 'meetings'

DivaDev is a small firm and we like it that way. We've never been fans of the long, drawn out, everlasting meeting. Some meetings are necessary; most are not. Larger design firms require more meetings just to keep everyone "in the loop" and on the same track. That's precious time they could have spent actually working on your web site.

Here at DivaDev, we'd rather work than talk about working. Knowing the right questions to ask new clients and carefully listening to their answers helps us avoid unnecessary staff meetings and costly mistakes later on. We work tightly together, communicate succinctly (sometimes telepathically) and deliver projects on time - often ahead of deadline. We also don't take on more work than we can handle, making each client a V.I.P. priority.

  the big, scary internet

During the 12 years in which we have been creating and maintaining web sites, one thing has consistently come to our attention: many clients feel somewhat intimidated by the Internet, its technologies, and its new terminology. In most cases it's simply "fear of the unknown".

We've also noticed that some web developers tend to capitalize on that fear, often using it to leverage themselves as some sort of hyper-intelligent demi-Gods of all things Web. Phooey. We've found that an informed client is infinitely easier to work with, making the process much more productive and enjoyable for all. There just isn't anything so mysterious or difficult about understanding this stuff. Don't let it intimidate you.

At DivaDev, we take time to answer your questions, carefully explain each step along the way, and remove the air of "mystery" from the whole process. Breaking it down into small chunks and explaining things in laymen's terms puts our clients at ease every time. Nothing very scary here.
