PICKABOTTLE

The pickabottle team came to us with a basic idea and a rough feature list. We built the design and full site from the ground up, and helped them get a successful launch.

Cooleaf

Cooleaf came to us with an html prototype and design - they brought us in to build out the functionality. We created a ruby on rails app for them that covered everything they wanted while also redesigned the intial site to be more aesthetically pleasing. We helped launch at Startup Riot 2011.

Big Cartel

The Indie Labs team came to us to implment an open source plugin we had helped build, so they could dynamically launch a full replica staging stack for testing their sites.

SERVICES

We offer development in many languages but prefer to a high degree Ruby on Rails. We have been working with Ruby on Rails since 2005 and consider our knowledge is comparable to some of the industry elite.

Here at Four Bean Soup you will not find a bunch of yes men so if that's what you are looking for you will want to look elsewhere. We want to see our clients ideas succeed and therefore we draw from our years of experience to give you the advice and skills you deserve.

Teaching you is part of our process. We run our business like our family. If we are teaching one of our children to tie a shoe we would never simply tie it for them. We would deliver the knowledge they need to help themselves. Our clients deserve the same understanding.

We love Scalable websites so much that we even host a podcast about it. We have been in love with sites that not only look nice but work right under any pressures since we began.

Users do judge a website by its cover so make sure yours has one that will keep your customers interested. We will work with you and our designers to make sure we achieve the perfect blend of beauty and functionality.

IDENTITY

We use Ruby on Rails to build clean web applications for our patrons that work the way they are supposed to. We believe in building quality apps, for example our '07 Rails Rumble Winning App. We are a fun company who believes in family values, sharing, good food, and clean usable apps. Not always things you hear a company mention up front but hey, it's who we are. Pull up a chair, grab a plate and get to know us.
