West Coast expansion in 2022

We solve complex business problems through custom software development.

For over two decades, DSD Web Works has specialized in translating intricate business requirements into elegant, functional software solutions. We're not a typical web design company – we're custom application developers who build mission-critical systems that organizations depend on daily.

Our expertise spans from sophisticated enterprise applications managing complex workflows across multiple organizations, to beautifully crafted websites with custom content management systems. Every solution we create is built from the ground up to match your specific operational needs and business logic.

We've been practicing agile development since 2001 – before it became an industry standard. This collaborative approach, combined with our deep technical expertise, allows us to deliver software that doesn't just meet requirements, but anticipates real-world complexities and evolves with your business needs.

Whether you're managing watershed systems across multiple municipalities, configuring complex manufacturing equipment, or need a website that perfectly reflects your brand and workflow, we create solutions that work exactly as intended.

Innovation for the sake of innovation is never a viable solution.
Innovation in design must contribute in a positive fashion to the quality of the presentation and user experience.

We have a 'Team Build' approach to our custom development work that begins with establishing an interactive relationship with our clients early and throughout the process of application development. It is this approach that allows us to align our custom web applications more closely to our client's actual requirements and needs.

What we do

We develop custom web solutions ranging from sophisticated enterprise applications to beautifully designed websites - each built with its own tailored content management system.

Our complex applications solve intricate real-world challenges across multiple industries. These include enterprise-scale systems like our watershed wastewater management platform serving multiple counties and municipalities, and advanced manufacturing applications such as our commercial vehicle configurator that processes thousands of options through recursive algorithms while managing complex inclusion/exclusion rules and real-time weight distribution calculations.

We've built specialized solutions like chemical inventory management systems for educational institutions and mission-critical business tools that handle sophisticated calculations, regulatory compliance, and intricate workflows used by organizations throughout North America.

For website clients, we don't use templates or off-the-shelf platforms. Every website we create - whether for a small business or large organization - comes with its own custom-built content management system designed specifically for that client's needs and workflow. This ensures complete control, optimal performance, and a truly unique web presence.

Whether you need a sophisticated business application to solve complex operational challenges or a custom website with intuitive content management, we create solutions tailored to your specific requirements.

We specialize in translating complex business needs into user-friendly applications and elegant web designs that work exactly as intended.

How we do it (we have been Agile for a long time)

Our approach to development and project management evolved in early 2001 and was in contradiction to the standard practices of the day. It was critical to us to involve the user of the application throughout the developmental process. Which meant we delivered working functional software quickly and routinely for review and testing. Instead of the steadfast tradition of following a very detailed and defined project plan without waiver, we deliver iteration after iteration of complete functional pieces welcoming and encouraging critique and change (i.e. adaptation and improvement).

As result, customer satisfaction is increased by early and continuous delivery of valuable software. Everyone involved: designers; developers; users; customers; and clients... all stakeholders contribute to the understanding of what is needed and required for a given application during the project development. Creating a unique, fully customized design for each project. We create solutions that work.

This type of approach is now documented, standardized and promoted as Agile Software Development.

Our approach continues to be built on these core principles:

• Simplify – our company mantra.
• Customer/User involvement (true collaboration) is essential throughout process.
• Good sound database structure is the foundation.
• Change during development is not a negative, rather a positive sign that something special is being built.
• Iterations of hands-on working pieces and user interaction (deliver, review, adapt [alter/modify]... repeat).
• Cooperation of motivated, competent stakeholders leads to best results.
• Working software (pieces of the application) is best gauge of progress.
• Continuous attention to technical excellence and best practices (clean, secure code).

Where we are located

DSD Web Works operates from two strategic locations: Fairport, NY (a suburb of Rochester, NY) and Portland, OR. This bi-coastal presence allows us to serve enterprise clients effectively across North America while maintaining the personal relationships that are crucial to successful custom development projects.

Our original New York location in the Finger Lakes region serves clients throughout the Northeast, including major corporations headquartered near Rochester such as Xerox, Paychex, and Wegmans Food Markets. The area's strong presence of manufacturing and healthcare organizations aligns well with our expertise in developing complex business applications.

Our Portland location, established in 2022, extends our reach to West Coast clients and takes advantage of the region's innovative technology culture. Portland's proximity to major companies like Nike, Columbia Sportswear, and OHSU provides opportunities to work with organizations that value both technical sophistication and collaborative development approaches.

Both locations reflect our commitment to building lasting partnerships with clients who need more than off-the-shelf solutions – organizations that require custom software designed specifically for their unique operational challenges.
