Our Lead Technologist, Matt Willis, has partnered up with Charlie Walsh to help found ValueAppeal. A site that helps home owners evaluate and challenge their property taxes.
Property taxes are expensive, and with the fall in housing prices across the nation, your taxes are more likely than ever to have been assessed unfairly in relation to other homes in your area. 
That can add up to hundreds and thousands of dollars in overpayment each year–and the problem is, most people won’t see a refund unless they speak up.
We architected a service that allows people to simply enter their address and we analyze and make a suggested evaluation on a fair tax evaluation.
If the user chooses to move on there is a series of tools they use to select their comparables and create their argument.
The site is developed on the .NET platform and aggregates data from various property data sources into SQL Server where it is compiled and analyzed.
In dealing with great photography, we feel it is best to let the art speak for itself. We created a very minimal Flash web experience for people to easily browse Drew’s work. In addition, the entire site was developed to run entirely off an XML based CMS system that was custom designed for the site. It allows Drew to easily keep his portfolio up to date.
Vera Fitness, a Seattle based women’s fitness clinic, approached Switch Development needing a website that was true to their brand, that engaged their potential clients and that provided users with the ability to create appointments online. We researched the available CMS systems and tools for scheduling but determined that a custom solution would be more affordable and cater better to their business. 
Using .NET and SQL Server we created a custom scheduling and client management tool which, after a few phases over the last few months, now provides Vera Fitness trainers the ability to engage their clients, access their progress and keep record of goals and performance.
In addition we strategized and developed, what was at the time, a new methodology for AJAX. A search engine that retained the search history within an asynchronous environment. This made searching fast and intuitive allowing people to find the condos in the areas they were interested with the criteria they desired and with the tools to quick-save a picklist to review or compare when they were ready.
We worked with CondoCompare building their technology from the ground up using .NET, SQL Server, .NET AJAX and our own custom built AJAX solutions. We architected an SEO system that would deliver individual condos and hot condo areas to search engines making page 1 on many regional real estate searches. We also helped craft effective marketing campaigns and assisted in developing their brand.
We helped IndieShares launch their pilot site that seeks to provide independent film writers a portal to support and production funding while at the same time allowing film enthusiasts the ability to personally invest in scripts that they love.
