What We Do:

• Create web and software applications for a variety of end-user needs.
  
  
• Design and develop web sites for customers with an emphasis on easy navigation and a clean yet appealing look and feel. [See some examples]
  
  
• Create self-updatable web administration pages for our clients so they can keep their own web site up to date without needing to contract with us to so and without needing to know any web programming.
  
  
• Host client web sites and e-mail on a server located in a top-tier data center with redundant storage and nightly offsite backups for extra security.
  
  
• We've worked with a number of communities and member organizations, allowing us to now create sites for these types of clients with a particular emphasis on their needs and requirements.

Our Core Beliefs:

The greater purpose of a web site is to provide information. If a web site is difficult to keep up to date, its information will become useless. We provide web sites that are managed through easy-to-update administrative pages, allowing our clients to keep their own content up to date without needing to know any sort of web programming.

If a client is forced to pay every time they update their site, it will not be updated. That's why we make commonly-updated sections of our client sites self-administrated by our clients, so they can update as often as they want, whenever they want, without needing to pay us or any other web professional to put the update online.

Aesthetics affect perception of a product or service. A poorly designed web site reflects poorly on the content it delivers, whether about a product, service, or organization. That's why we create pages with clean, easy-to-navigate pages using standards-based web technologies.

A client is open to suggestions if it will improve their site. We work with our clients to determine what sorts of online pages and tools can best be used to make their site as effective as possible within their budget. Our experience allows us to make suggestions based on things we've previously seen or done online which the client may not have even thought of yet.

Background:

Founded in 1997 as Paradigm Computer by Jason Cross of Indianola, Iowa, the name was changed to Nolasoft Development in 2000. This was done to greater reflect the increased focus on web site design and programming being done by the company and its partners.

Nolasoft's founder and principal is Jason Cross, a technology entreprenuer who started CrossPaths.net Internet while attending Simpson College, which he sold at the age of 21 to Des Moines-based Lighthouse Communications. As Director of Consumer Internet for Lighthouse, Jason was also responsible for the creation and operations of FBX Internet, an Internet service formed with the cooperation of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation. FBX grew to become the third-largest Internet Service Provider in Iowa in the space of two years, after which it was sold to Iowa Telecom.
