About
Red Ant is a web design and development firm, based in Sydney Australia. We are 18 Ants. We're a bit fanatical about this web stuff. We work on the visual design of web sites, from wireframe through to finished designs. We're also quite experienced with designing/making web sites for multi-variate testing.
We also build sites. Everything from making the HTML templates and Javascript that forms the building blocks of a site, to creating applications that help you manage stuff on your site. We work with a development framework called Ruby on Rails, which helps us make some great stuff.
Many of our clients are large consumer brands, so we've got quite a bit of experience at making sites that work well and are easy to use. Some of these generate quite a bit of traffic, so we've also got some experience in designing/making for high user load.
We're big
fans of
Ruby on Rails 
We're big fans of Ruby on Rails, and have built a number of projects with it. We also do work with Microsoft ASP.Net, if that's your bag.
We cut a mean HTML template, and love doing interesting things with Flash.
Most of
us are
pretty into bikes
Most of us are pretty into bikes, partially due to the fact that for some reason over half of us don't have a drivers license.
That isn't to say that we're all like 13 or anything - it's just that for some of us driving hasn't been a requirement so far.
We're all
hopelessly
addicted to coffee
We're all hopelessly addicted to coffee, which we buy from the nice people at Single Origin. Our blend of choice is "Yee Haa", and coffee is a very very serious subject here.
We buy big bags of the good stuff just in case the nuclear winter starts early.
We're very keen on
measuring and
tracking our work
We're very keen on measuring and tracking our work. We've developed tools to analyse the games, advertising and promotions that we build to help understand how people use them. We then use these metrics to hopefully improve them. And make cool graphs.
We have
developed a
number of tools
We have developed a number of tools that help us service our clients more effectively. Each project you do with us will have a secure online dashboard and automated status reports, as well as integrated issue tracking.
We have won
a number of
interactive awards
We have won a number of interactive awards for our work, including the Australian Interactive Media Industry Association, Australian Graphic Design Association and several London International Advertising Awards.
