Roam builds web applications that do what they are supposed to do, without getting in your way, letting you focus on your job and your time off. The way it's supposed to be.
The Philosophy
As long as parts of your business process are managed by people, the focus needs to be on:
- making your business more competitive by smoothing the process; and
- allowing you and your employees to do that with ease.
Roam uses best practices in development, usability, information architecture and a bit of common sense to accomplish that. Fast.
We don't waste time on the trivial parts of the applications: if there's software that can help us get things done more easily for us and cheaper for you, we'll use it. Like the Django web framework.
The result: less time needed to build it, less time needed to talk about it, more time to actually use it.
The Process
So here's the deal: you tell us what you need and we research the market. If we discover an application that might suit your needs—without developing a new application—we let you know.
When existing applications aren't up to your standards, we'll go over the requirements again and as soon as we can agree upon the features of the application, development starts.
You'll be kept in the loop at all times, so you know what's being done and where the project stands.
Once a usable part of the application is ready, you'll be able to test it. That's how it works at Roam: the quicker you can try it out, the quicker you can give feedback and the quicker we can nip problems in the bud.

Morse
Visit Morse »Morse is a desktop application that allows you to monitor multiple Gmail accounts at once. The only requirement is that you have Adobe Air installed. You'll be notified whenever a new message arrives at one of your accounts, whether you're using Windows, OS X or Linux.
Did we mention Morse is free and open source?
Static
Serving resources, such as images, from multiple domains allows browsers to load webpages faster. Static provides an easy way to host those resources on Google App Engine, an environment created by Google that should make scaling easier than ever.
Besides being fast, an application on Google App Engine can use user accounts linked to a domain through Google Apps. This means that when you're signed in to your Gmail, you're signed in to the application as well.
Note: the images on this site are served from Static.
Monitapp
Monitapp is an extemely simple and intuitive application for monitoring domains: when a site goes down, Monitapp notices and emails or tweets the problem.
The original version of Monitapp was written in JavaScript, executed server-side using AppJet.
Kelly's Pedicure & Beautysalon
Visit BeautysalonKelly.be »Kelly's Pedicure & Beautysalon (Kelly's Pedicure & Beauty parlor) needed a website. By selecting the right colors and fonts, Roam created a website with a classic but robust look. Most of the work, however, focused on structuring the content in a way that allows anyone to navigate the site with ease.
The website could claim a number one position in Google's search results by picking a few targeted keywords. This quickly resulted in more customers.
Grats.be
Visit Grats.be »Grats is a calendaring application that allows users to easily jot down birthdays and a corresponding message. When the birthday comes around the message is automatically send to the birthday boy or girl via email or TXT (SMS).
Grats was made for Netlash.
