Overview

We've been finding ourselves building more and more JS heavy apps here at &yet. Until recently, we've pretty much invented a custom app architecture for each one.

Not surprisingly, we're finding ourselves solving similar problems repeatedly.

Nate Vander Wilt is the diversely talented web and desktop developer who makes the sixth employee added to &yet over the last year. We got to know Nate primarily on Twitter, believe it or not.

Nate's a midwest transplant currently living on a semi-dusty gravel road in the bustling city of Outlook, WA.

Nate brings to the team his diverse talents in "cloud cartography" (geography and web mapping), multitouch interface, Mac, iPhone, and HTML5 web application development.

We've moved! Our old location was great, but since our staff size is multiplying like a family of rabbits, we had completely out grown it in less than a year. So we decided to trade in our crowed workspace for a custom designed upgrade down the street.

Our new space is at 140 Gage Boulevard in Richland. We've each got our own offices, conference room, kitchenette and a swanky brainstorming space. With a creative color scheme, custom art and leather sofas, it's a downright gorgeous workspace.

On April 8th we had an Open House party with our friends and neighbors, nGenuity and elevate. We had great food, live music and a couple hundred awesome people stop by to show their support.

As a web design and development company, it's incredibly hard to build things for yourself.

This site has been in process since early August, 2009, when we as a team sat down and discussed our vision for where we wanted to go.

We put together a general outline and a plan for how we wanted to approach things. Then Amy rolled up her sleeves and took a crack at a conceptual design based on an idea from one of her Red Room posters.

We’re humbled by the support of so many who have helped us grow from one to four (plus extended team) in just a year and a half.

We have some exciting things on their way soon, including an all-new realtime web product. We're thrilled to be able to launch the new site so we can get back to the business of business!

It's a privilege to be able to serve the great customers we've been able to work with so far and it's a joy to be a part of the great Tri-Cities area tech community.
