Why CHOOSE BANANA?

We Design and Engineer Simplicity

Simplicity is the key to success
People intuitively love, come back to and talk about sites and apps that are simple to use.
Designing for simplicity is hard to do
Creating easy to use systems and interfaces is the most challenging task in developing online products. It requires not only expertise but an obsessive attention to the finest details, down to the last pixel.
Engineering simplicity is our specialty
Our main focus is to ensure that the products we build for you exemplify the best ease-of-use standards. These principles are so important we named our company after a well-known design philosophy.
Our Goal: Easy-to-use, fun-to-operate experiences
We will work closely with you to identify the main operations of each part of your application and make certain that even the most complex elements are easy to find and intuitive to operate. If a page is easy to navigate and uncluttered, we've succeeded.

We Build Web and Mobile Applications

Why web applications and not web pages?
Modern web design requires more than a simple brochure with links - it must present highly interactive functions.
Web and mobile apps: your face to the world
Your online presence defines your business in the minds of your customers. Applications manage this presence - providing elegant and easy-to-use features and functions.
Consistent cross-platform visual presentation
Users expect to access your business from many platforms. Our applications can operate on both mobile and desktop devices you choose.
Our goal: design the best apps for your business
We will work with you to ensure that your users enjoy highly responsive and easy-to-use features that can operate on both desktop and mobile devices.

We Develop Custom Drupal Content Management

What is content management?
Your users create and interact with content on your site. Content Management Systems (CMS) provide the backend that manages not only this content, but your users and many other functions.
Drupal: an advanced Content Management System
Drupal is a widely-used open-source Content Management System that provides a broad range of backend functions to support web and mobile apps.
Why does Banana use Drupal?
With Drupal we can create a stable platform specifically designed for your online presence - servicing your apps, processing and storing your content, managing your users . . . and more.
Our goal: custom Drupal content management
We will work with you to identify the elements that define your content and develop a system to manage your users - creating custom Drupal functions that specifically address your needs.

We are User Interface Design Experts

Banana design: user-centered systems
Banana systems are designed around the user with the goal that every interaction must be simple, enjoyable and obvious . . . even when the operation is actually complicated.
Keeping it simple
We view a successful system as "making the complex simple" - and this requires excellent graphic design and expert programming.
Our goal: simplify complicated things
We use a variety of techniques to simplify your application: cutting-edge animation, visual cues and the "mother test": is it simple enough for my mother to do without a manual?
The professionals at Banana have many years of experience unifying the art and science of simplicity.

We Build Custom Map Applications

Banana proprietary location services
Banana has developed Drupal modules that access location-related information from hundreds of databases. This information can be associated with your content and your users, resulting in a plethora of unique and useful features.
Customized map graphics
Banana can tailor the look and functionality of your maps to reflect the overall design of your site with custom markers, overlays and info boxes.
Our Goal: beautiful maps with location services
We will work with you to identify the role of location in your application, integrating our location services to create customized, simple and easy-to-use maps for your users.

Details About Google Translate
banana-logo-main.png
Banana's technical staff is highly experience in web translations, so our engineers were thrilled when Google Labs introduced Google Translate.
In simple terms, Google's scientists "trained" a massive computer to translate text to and from many languages, starting with transcripts from proceedings and speeches from the United Nations.
The current version of Translate:
  • Supports 57 languages, more on an "alpha" basis (less reliable)
  • Continually improves by allowing users to "correct" translations
Here are few interesting non-technical articles on Google Translate:
