"I hired David and Momentum Design Lab to assist Biz360 in designing the user interface for a new web-based B2B client application we were developing. Momentum was invited to complete an RFP along with several other firms. I chose Momentum because of their depth of related experience, track record of quality work, understanding of our needs and responsiveness. I am happy to say we made the right decision. My team was extremely pleased with the way they managed the project from beginning to end, collaborating with us to deliver outstanding work that was on strategy and within budget. I would definitely work with David again."

Rich Internet Applications

"Wow" your visitors with bleeding-edge technology!

RIAs enable interactivity and increased functionality beyond the traditional means of HTML applications through the use of rich media technologies, such as AJAX, Flex, Flash Actionscript, Ruby on Rails, and AIR. The possibilities of utilizing RIAs are endless - from rich, web-based applications extended to the user's desktop to seamless, responsive user interfaces within an application. They enable real-time communication in several mediums, including chat, audio/video conferencing, and application or desktop-sharing.

RIAs can enhance the user experience of your product.

RIAs have been used to enhance the user experiences of B2B and B2C applications and services, with proven ROI benefits and advantages. Benefits include creating experiences and interactions that HTML can't with proven results, such as increased traffic, higher conversion rates, and word-of-mouth publicity. RIAs, when done right, integrate seamlessly within an application or website's interface and functionality. For applications and websites, this translates into no response delays, no page reloads, increased performance and speed, low-maintenance, and boosted efficiencies.

ROI-benefits of RIAs make it well worth it.

Our designers and developers have extensive experience in the implementation and deployment of RIAs across a diverse set of platforms. We have worked on projects of all sizes, with various requirements, such as integrating existing APIs, creating cross-platform desktop applications, and combining RIA with programming languages like Java, PHP, Ruby on Rails, .NET, C++ and C#. We can help you determine which technologies are appropriate and relevant for your project. Rather than push a cutting-edge technology that can have minimal benefits for your project, we select the ones that will maximize the ROI and provide your users with the experiences they are looking for. We understand that choosing the right technology can improve sales, drive efficiencies, and create the right mix of usability, affordability, and compatibility.

your project:

AJAX

Rich internet and interactive applications are made possible through the increasing use of AJAX, a cross-platform, standards-based technology that relies on XHTML, DHTML, Javascript and the DOM. When AJAX is utilized correctly, your website or application's interactivity, speed, functionality, and usability increase exponentially, resulting in incredible user experiences. Although AJAX increases the complexity of applications and websites, it creates customer experiences that increase ROI-potential and reduces costs.

We work with a variety of libraries to create rich web applications. Here are just a few:

Flash Actionscript

Flash Actionscript is a powerful, object-oriented programming language for creating rich user interfaces and applications that run in the Flash Player. When used correctly, Flash Actionscript provides the opportunity to create cinematically rich, robust, and satisfying user experiences that are accessible to a large number of people (99% of users have Flash Player installed on their computers). Our user experience designers and developers are experts in seamlessly combining Flash Actionscript effectively into interactive user experiences that will impress and pique the interest of your customers.

Flex

Adobe Flex is an extremely productive development tool and framework for transforming online experiences and creating rich internet applications. Flex offers the chance to create cinematically rich and satisfying user experiences that run in Flash Player, which is installed on 99% of computers. Rich visual interfaces combined with the content delivery capabilities of the Flash Player translate into impressive customer experiences that will extend your brand identity into new mediums and expand the ways in which your customers can interact with your product. Our user experience designers and Flex developers can deliver a satisfying branded application or website that will maximize your ROI and make your customers happy.

Silverlight

Silverlight is a cross-platform, cross-browser plug-in, much like Flash Player, for delivering rich interactive applications, audio and video. It seamlessly integrates with existing web applications, as well as supports playback of Windows Media Player audio and video (WMA and WMV) and MP3 content without requiring the Windows Media Player, the Windows Media Player ActiveX control, or Windows Media browser plug-ins. This is an ideal, cost-effective choice from which to bring your already existing Windows Media Player-formatted content to the web. Silverlight also offers a flexible programming model that supports AJAX, VB, C#, Python, and Ruby and allows developers to use .NET languages and development tools, essentially expanding the possibilities in utilizing Silverlight in your project. For your next rich media application or website, we can design and develop a user experience that innovatively utilizes Silverlight.

Adobe AIR

Adobe AIR is a versatile runtime environment that enables developers to build rich, cinematic internet applications for the desktop using internet technologies like Flash, HTML, and Javascript. Through Air, it is now possible to create branded applications that can be reconfigured for the desktop, as well as the web, potentially extending your market reach, improving customer retention, lowering costs, and increasing profits. Because it is possible to use proven, existing technologies, development and deployment are rapid and considerably low-risk. If you are looking to create a desktop, branded application your customers can use from their desktops, we can provide you with solutions that will do just that.

OpenLaszlo

OpenLaszlo is a platform, often used in conjunction with AJAX and Silverlight or Flash runtime, for delivering zero-install RIAs to people's desktops, web browsers, and mobile devices. Projects built with OpenLaszlo can be distributed virtually anywhere at any time and can extend across various devices and venues. This is an optimal solution for projects that require little exertion on the part of the user and deliver high-quality content quickly and efficiently.

GoogleGears

GoogleGears is a new effective browser extension (aka. plug-in) for delivering rich interactive applications even while a user is offline. GoogleGears is a unique opportunity to give your users' access to branded applications and RIAs, extending the functionality and presence of your product beyond the web browser.
