Xgineer Solutions, Inc

This weekend I was reading through some tech articles online trying to keep myself abreast of the latest and greatest in the tech world. I started to read about Dr. Stephen Wolfram, Wolfram|Alpha – An invention that could change the internet forever. It’s touted as the program that will be more significant than Google. What a bold statement.

When a potential client asks me, “How much and how long?” a million questions start rushing to my head. A seemingly obvious thing to do first is to figure out what exactly it is that they want; however, that’s very rarely well defined.

After several months of planning, programming, and designing, we are happy to introduce the new Xgineer Solutions site. Adam, Leo, and I have been excited to give our old website a face lift and make it a bit more personal and modern. A couple tidbits and shout outs:

• Site and CMS built on the Symphony Framework
• Sliders animation using Javascript
• Enne Bi Communications provided the photos for us, thank Nick

Though this is the new Xgineer site, we realize that this is for you, our customer, clients and peers. We want to make sure that you are coming back to the site for the things you need. We would be forever indebted to you for you thoughts and feedback on the new Xgineer site. Anything you can think of we would love to hear it.

Please click here for feedback.

Thanks in advance,

The Xgineers

During these tough financial times I have found myself and others looking for new ways to make money. My friends and I have put together these bi-weekly think tanks of ideas that we would be able to do on the side and start making some of that extra money. Though, none of the money I receive now is extra.

Here are a few steps to get your idea group off the ground.
