About Us: Development on Demand
We focus on four skill sets that ad agencies and design firms require but cannot economically or reliably maintain in-house. By working with Uppercase to access these skills as you need them, you can focus on your core competencies of design and marketing concepts.
We live and work in Lincoln, Nebraska. If you have forgotten the benefits of working with a local company, let us sit down and talk about your projects. Meeting face-to-face and working in the same time zone can really turn a project around.
We are not designers, and we do not compete with you. For more information about how we can work with you, please contact us.

Open Source Content Management Systems
We have a long track record of success with Linux-Apache-MySql-Php.
- Drupal:
A popular social networking application that provides significant modules and an outstanding open source community.
- Collaborate:
Provides site and content management tools that are easy to learn and use, built on the strengths of the GoRAD toolkit.
- Dreamweaver:
Basic site tools minimize administrative overhead while allowing access to nearly any server-side technology.
The GoRAD Toolkit
GoRAD allows you to leverage the code and general techniques that we have developed over the years. It includes utility classes ranging from calendars to graph generators. It provides a framework that can work out of the box or can be customized every step of the way. Best yet, its namespacing and zero-procedures approach allows you to extend and enhance any features that do work for your application.
Other PHP5 classes and frameworks are always welcome. PEAR packages are actively used within the toolkit, and we are working to integrate more closely with the Zend Framework to make your platform decision even easier.
A Few of the Tools
- Collaborate: Provides site and content management tools that are easy to learn and use, built on the strengths of the toolkit
- Framework: Implements best practices include Front Controller, Application Controller, Filter Manager, Filter Chain, Context, Command, View, and others
- The Assistant: Assists with the creation of forms of any complexity and with reports run on any supported data source
- VCX: Couples logic with configuration so you can accomplish more without a programmer and so your application does more from the start
