Who is Blue Riot Labs?

Geeks, nerds, computer monkeys, basement dwellers, Mac snobs…we’ve heard it all and we aren’t upset by those names (especially because we know they aren’t true).  Call us what you will, but one thing we never sacrifice is our quality and commitment to doing a great job for every client.

Formerly Strategic Development Partners, we have been in the web services industry for over seven years and we’ve had the great pleasure of working with some of the most forward-thinking companies on the internet. What began as a modest establishment (think card table and one designer) has flourished in to a full-service web design studio. We’re pleased and proud to have delivered design and development services for clients such as Boulder Country Day School, Cooling Tower Depot, National Institute for Change, Net-Results, RO|Innovation and Zunesis.

Our focus is building long-term, satisfying relationships based on honest communication and exceptional work. When we start a new project, we commit ourselves 110%. That passion drives great work and results, while we continue to hold ourselves to the highest level of service and accountability for our clients.

Our Process

1. PLAN

Discovery / Goals / Wireframes


Each relationship begins with learning about your business and specific needs, from discussing your target audience and goals to aligning brand standards.  We’ll cover your short-term objectives plus your long-term strategy for the future, and the steps we can take together to meet these goals.  Your dreams and plans are unique – and we’ll treat them as such with custom road maps and intelligent solutions.

2. DESIGN

UI / Prototyping / Graphic Design


Brand integrity is very important to the success of any message. If your brand already has a strong presence in your marketplace, we won’t push you into any major brand changes, simply for the benefit of our egos or portfolio. Instead, we’ll work together and suggest new ways to enhance your current website and online presence. If your brand is inconsistent or needs revamping, we can help there, too.

3. BUILD

XHTML / CSS / Javascript / CMS


Open source tools like PHP and WordPress allow us to explore lower cost and more flexible options to reduce overhead and enable you to take full advantage of thousands of additional resources beyond our walls. We follow industry standards like W3C, IETF, and ISO and emphasize interoperability, accessibility, and scalability to ensure compatible and consistent performance across platforms and browsers.

4. MANAGE

Optimization / Analysis / Maintenance


Your website or app has gone live, so it is now time to move into the management phase.  By keeping your online presence current with relevant, compelling content, you’ll improve your search engine rankings, increase your number of visitors, and strengthen your company’s online position. A strategic web maintenance plan is a crucial part in determining the success of your online efforts.
