RE: Airbag Industries
Airbag Industries is a California corporation that helps businesses and organizations with their Internet related concerns. We prefer to develop lasting partnerships with our clients, making their needs our own, working with them to find smart solutions, and completing the work on time and on budget. When we can't do it all ourselves we have the pleasure of working with the industry's top talent from design to development, architecture to deployment.
Work History
The corporation continues to grow with a diverse and expanding clientele that includes: Sundance Film Festival, W3C, MSNBC, Today Show, AOL, GameSpy, New York Magazine, Harvard Business School, Red 5 Studios, Lexblog, Happy Cog, Ning!, and ContentNext. Over the years we have worked with many types of operations; from magazines to ministries, education to politics, and telemedicine to retail (to name a few).
Airbag is based in the Aliso Viejo, California, with offices in Raleigh, North Carolina and Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Very Nice, How Much?
Airbag is available for hire by project and/or yearly retainer. Before we'll set a cost for any project we'll talk to you via phone and email to help create a proper scope of work. Time, materials, and costs are then estimated and turned into a proposal. Project costs start in the high five-figure range.
A Special Note About Startups
Before we get started lets get something straight, we regularly turn down projects with descriptions that include words like, "mash-up", "web 2.0", "the next MySpaceYouTubeFlickr". If we want to see a trail of tears we'll rent Dances with Wolves followed by Ishtar. That said we love really great, solid, ideas and if you honestly have one then lets talk about getting your project online.
A Short History of Airbag
Airbag began as a blog started by Greg Storey in 2002. Since then the writing has become infamous as a blunt voice for the online design community, sprinkled with a healthy dose of satire and cynicism regarding a larger variety of topics.
Colophon
Airbag enjoys a super structure made of industrial strength code. All the content you see and read sits comfortably inside custom spaces created by a combination of PHP, XHTML, and Cascading Style Sheets.
Amish barn builders were kidnapped and forced, at pitchfork, to learn web standards and build what you see here. The results are stunning, yet strikingly humble.
