Introducing Transfuse

Adnan Kussair / Tuesday, July 13, 2010

Here at Transform, we are fanatical about providing our clients with the best, most intuitive and effective user experience with every website we build. We installed, tested, built and used every Content Management System (CMS) imaginable before we realized a few things:

  • Each client is unique and ever changing. They usually start small but think big, we need to make sure we build solutions for clients that can quickly and easily scale to provide access to additional features.
  • Content Management Systems (CMS) become obsolete as new versions come out. Major version upgrades require expensive man hours to leverage new features.
  • Clients love our fully managed hosting and support; they don’t want to deal with technology issues and would much rather have us do it for them while they run their business.
  • Standardizing code will not only streamline the coding process, but will enable us to deliver a website faster than our competition and with the high level of attention/standards that defines a site built by Transform.
  • Clients do not like having to log into various platforms to manage their web presence.

With these key points in mind we decided it was time for a change. Our concept was simple, a single unified platform that would help organizations streamline operations, reduce cost, and build what we call an “integrated business”. So after about a year of 16 hour days, a successful partnership with Adobe, and countless gallons of naked coffee white mochas, we are proud to introduce our cloud hosted, scalable CMS platform, Transfuse.

What does this mean for our current & future clients?

Nothing changes for our current clients, we will continue to provide fully managed hosting and support for your sites and cms. However, for our future clients, your sites will be built on our new Transfuse CMS platform.

Stay tuned for more as we launch our Tranfuse mini-site in August with a Designer affiliate program coming soon!

Change is Good

Matt Stuart / Monday, July 12, 2010

After a few years of individually running separate businesses from home offices, it had become clear it was time to get serious and make our ultimate business goals into a reality. The decision to merge was an easy one for AK and myself since we had worked together and shared many of the same ideas and philosophies on what we wanted to do and how we wanted to do it.

So as eager bootstrappers we set out to form our new company. First we named it, then set up our legal structure, drafted a business plan, designed a logo, and so on until we got to the point where we needed to make a decision about where we wanted to be located. We knew one thing for sure, we wanted to be in downtown.

We researched and viewed multiple properties in Sacramento until we ran across the Retro Lodge. With its swanky 1960’s LA appeal, we immediately knew we had found the place where we wanted to raise Transform.

With our John Hancock on a lease and suite 307 keys in hand, we immediately darted for the Lowe’s paint department and the showroom floor at IKEA. Not once did we stop to think about how easy it was for us to jump in and take the whole thing on. I guess we were just excited because we nearly painted the whole place in one night.

We invite you to take moment and view our gallery which shows the process of how we personalized our Transform studio space. We love our new space and think that you might get a kick out of it too.

Change really is good; you just have to make it happen!
