We want to build your map.

Services

Interactive maps draw map users into an entirely new kind of map experience, one in which the user is free to change the look and content of the map to suit their needs. Cutting-edge map interactivity goes far beyond simply panning and zooming; it lets us explore our world through maps, ask questions, and see our answers displayed for us on-screen. If traditional static paper maps are akin to a lecture, interactive maps turn that lecture into a conversation between the map-reader and the content.

Our maps are effective communication tools

Maps as Communication

Meticulous cartography

Our maps work well because before we were designers and developers, we were cartographers. The same care and attention to detail that went into each of our meticulously composed paper maps goes into every one of our custom-built interactive maps.

Map design expertise

Our knowledge of map design, color theory, type design, and map symbolization guides our map production from concept to design to development, and our focus on sound cartographic principles ensure your data are communicated clearly and concisely through our maps and user-interfaces.

Custom-built

Because we custom-design each map to match your data, visual identity, and audience, we get the opportunity to spend time talking with you, listening to your specific needs and guiding you through the process of choosing the right technology to meet them.

We build on robust and flexible technology

Powered by indiemapper     Powered by Indiemapper

The same technology that powers indiemapper is at the core of our custom-built Flash maps. This allows us to quickly build the data loading and map rendering engines for each map so we can focus on customizing the map components and controls to build you a unique map that has the capabilities you want. With indiemapper technology running behind the scenes, each of our interactive maps can display a wide range of map types, use powerful graphs to view and customize data, support custom projections for accurate map displays, and give us complete styling control over your maps. When your map is powered by indiemapper, you can also be assured that it will be extensible, allowing you to affordably add new functionality to it as your organization changes.

Powerful technical flexibility

We are not locked into a single technology. When Flash isn't the right tool for the job because your map needs to run without the Flash plugin on a mobile device or restricted computing environment, we build our maps in HTML / JavaScript. This platform still allows us to design sophisticated, catographically sound maps, but in a format that may be more suitable for your specific audience.
