A health and fitness product
A digital product in the health and fitness area which has been incredibly popular, changing thousands of lives. Every second person we meet seems to either be doing it or know someone that is a raving fan.
Huggies
A place for parents to learn & share
Yes, Huggies like in the nappies you put on babies. Try searching for anything baby or child related, and you’ll probably end up on a Huggies page. So much more than a brand site for Nappies – everything you need to know if you’re the proud owner of a 0-5 year old, or if you’re pregnant. Close to half the Mums in Australia are members, so we must be doing something right.
Ruby on Rails
The efficient way to build modern digital products.
An Open source web framework Ruby on Rails makes designing and building modern web sites and digital products more efficient. Ruby on Rails is a popular choice for building modern, interactive web sites and apps.
Ruby on Rails speeds up many of the simple tasks, and allows for extremely rapid creation of prototypes and working code. It also uses “best practice” by default, so you’re not relying on the whim of a particular developer. Of course, having a smart developer is critical, and Rails allows them to translate ideas and concepts quickly and efficiently.
Working in an Agile fashion, we can create code that can then be reviewed that day. We might be heading in the right direction, or it might need to behave differently. Rapid change and evolution is a good thing. Using Ruby on Rails facilitates this.
Ruby on Rails also helps us create very high quality code. Each part of code has a series of Automated Tests. These perform checks to make sure that feature is working as it should. These get run every time a change is made. By doing this, we know that one change hasn’t broken something else. As soon as anything breaks or changes, our Continuous Integration server lets us know and the code is fixed.

Updating your Ruby on Rails application to the latest version
Once upon a time, it wasn’t uncommon for people to leave their web application the hell alone once they’d stabilised things. In the belief that making changes might introduce problems.
