Our company came into existence in 2004, when best minds of humanity were debating the outlooks for the new millennium. We had better things on our mind than totting up the achievements of the past thousand years and predicting the future; we were defining what our newly-founded company could and would do. Our core activities are design, high-quality IT solutions, and comprehensive support of large Internet projects.

Adrian Krupchanskycompany owner I believe we have an outstanding team that can handle tasks at any level of complexity. We have ratings, prizes, awards, and, most important, peer recognition and satisfied customers to prove it.

>We can implement many different types of sites: social networks, entertainment services, online shops, intranet systems, and portals — the more complex the task, the better. But we want to be able to do more. We are ambitious. That’s why we are constantly learning, teaching others, looking for innovative solutions, and we are always glad to meet a client with unique requirements. We spend our leisure time on non-for-profit projects. They don’t bring in money, but they are fun to work on.

Sergei Oseledkogeneral directorOur goal is not to build a site or a portal, it is to solve our clients’ problems. You want to increase your sales and promote your brand? Then so do we!

When working on an Internet project, we provide all necessary services: develop a concept, design the site, implement new technological solutions, create content, and provide technical support. Our goal is to build not just a product, but an effective communication channel between a brand and a customer. One of our priorities is marketing in digital media. This new space allows to study deepest motives that drive human behavior and, therefore, to make communication even more effective. In the future, these new technologies will be absolutely crucial.

Maxim Pavlovart director Design is aimed at making the end product meaningful, user-friendly, and attractive. That’s the order of our priorities.

We’re not into fancy ornamentation, because high quality design doesn’t tolerate any excess. If you undertake an assignment — strive for the best, or don’t bother starting. Working with a team of perfectionists is already half the victory. Nota’s main area of expertise is website development, although even a cursory glance at our work shows that we handle practically everything: naming, logotypes, company style, brand books, presentations, print ...the list goes on.

Writing about design is a pretty thankless task. Design must be understood, seen and felt. So take a look at «our portfolio», the works contained will display our approach and level of quality much better than any «section on...»

Alexander Makarchuktechnical directorIn tackling development, we follow the rule that instruments and means must be chosen and attuned to the task in hand, and not vice-versa.

Our technical department is adept at working with an extensive range of platforms and content management systems, starting with PHP and such well-known frameworks as Kohana, Symfony etc., and Python with Django, right up to solutions on the base CMS 1С-Bitrix. Naturally, we are also familiar with the current trend of developing mobile iOS applications.

When dealing with high-load systems, we ensure sites’ productivity and scalability, on both hardware and software levels, by using multilevel caching and cloud and cluster technologies. We discuss tools in more detail in the «Technologies» section.

Experience shows that success of a project depends not just on high level of programmers’ competence, but also on the team interaction. activeCollab, the project management software used throughout the company, provides a high level of project visibility, allows to see a project’s exact state at any time, and shows how much time has been spent on it, thus facilitating work optimization. Version control systems, SVN and Git, send all changes of the initial source code to lead developers, allowing to maintain a high level of software quality.

Dina Rotweinsenior editor"In the beginning was the Word..." This is something worth remembering in today’s multimedia space. A good, literate text is just as important as effective design and a user-friendly structure.

It might seem that there is nothing simpler than speaking in one’s native tongue. But try to translate the spoken word into written form: a smallest mistake — imprecise formulation, a wrong intonation — will make you misunderstood. Consequently, a good web studio requires not only brilliant designers, layout specialist, and programmers, but also natural linguists, people who have a highly developed linguistic intuition and linguistic reflection.

Our editorial department is made up of technical writers, journalists, and experienced editors. We provide project and user documentation, create pre-release and post-release sites’ content. We write annotations, press releases, news, advertising and stylized texts, articles for journals and newspapers, stories, essays...and even poetry if the task requires it.

Natalya Sokolovaexecutive directorOur managers possess a very important quality: they never rest on their laurels, but are constantly on the lookout for new opportunities and ways to improve our processes.

You will never hear «We can’t do this», if there is at least half a chance to assist a client. The situation on the market changes constantly, so a manager must be sufficiently flexible, proactive, and focused. Most importantly, though, he must understand the client. A customer is not always able to explain precisely what he wants. The task of a first-class manager is to grasp the idea, offer the best solution for its implementation, and, in the end, produce an attractive high quality project.
