It all starts with the web.
If there is one platform we are most rooted in, it’s the web – modern responsive techniques are our stock in trade. If you know these technologies, you can make it anywhere.
HTML5It all starts with clean, semantic, standards-based markup. Local storage, geolocation and native media players are some of our favorites.
CSS3
Separating content from presentation with judicious use of SASS use (mixins, partials and variables) keeps our UIs robust. And BEM’s not so bad, either.
JavaScript
Bundlers and transpilers like WebPack and Babel support our use of the latest JavaScript and versions of React, Angular and Knockout libraries.
Data makes the world go ‘round.
Robust data layers go a far way in these parts – without them we just have websites, not web applications.
SQL ServerSQL Server, whether on prem, installed on IaaS VMs or consumed via SQL Azure provides the hearty data storehouse we need for scalability and rapid querying.
MySQLIt’s not all about SQL Server if you want to get relational with it – MySQL definitely show up around the Mercury shop, too.
MongoWe have much love for Structured Query Language but NoSQL is cool, too. And there’s nothing like Mongo for a document database, if you ask us.
Application and services layer bring data to the surface.
Application code, service layers and even middleware are big parts of what we do around here. We like to keep the business logic clean and separated and our services RESTful.
.NET and C#C# and the .NET Framework are old friends of ours – while not as trendy as the JavaScript frameworks it’s hard to do better when you need to roll business logic, marshal data or automated processes.
MVCWebForms and ViewState are history – you won’t find them around here. But if you want to roll with .NET then MVC is your friend – and it’s good for JavaScript development, too.
WebAPIYa, we went the WCF route. Then we simplified with WebAPI and never turned back.
NodeLow overhead and thin requirements – there’s a lot to like about Node. And there’s nothing like being able to share JavaScript between the data, application and interface tiers.
This is how we roll.
GitflowDistributed version control, with branching strategy, for the win.
Continuous Delivery / DevOpsBuild, integrate and push to testing, staging and production environments on every code commit.
Azure / Amazon Web ServicesDeploy to the cloud.

Headless CMS vs. Traditional CMS: What’s the Difference?
If you are a developer, WordPress is powerful because it gives you access to an admin environment to manage all sorts of content, but the front-end experience can be lacking and often times bloated. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a solution that allowed for a developer to utilize this already well maintained and developed admin interface but gave the freedom of creating a complex front-end experience that many web applications have today?
