The Moonbase team has experience in the successful realization of hundreds of online projects. Our team has specialized expertise in the creation of high impact websites and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) website systems. Our website experience covers all aspects of a project from planning and design, to development, to deployment and maintenance. Our websites are regular recipients of local, state, and national awards.
SaaS website systems can be utilized as enterprise level portals for sharing content and data between multiple websites. These powerful applications allow for the ability to rapidly develop website technologies with a focus on modular upgrades and a centralized code base. At scale, this structure allows for lower development costs with a minimum of ongoing maintenance required.
Moonbase Virtual has been an early adopter of VR technology, focusing on practical business centric applications. We are exploring the huge potential for this technology to bring people closer together while minimizing travel. Our current work with PlaceVR and Golden Shovel has been focused on virtual meeting technology with the integration of 360 videos. We develop on the Unity platform with a focus towards the Oculus wireless headsets.
Having operated as a virtual company since its creation in 2009, Moonbase Virtual is ideally positioned to provide input and direction of the structuring and maintenance of a virtual business environment. We have advised on structuring processes so that team members in widely separated locations can be productive, share information and resources, and see unhindered and even improved project turnaround times. We have also provided special guidance on topics of team communication and maintaining accountability with virtual and independent contractors. We also consult on all aspects of business pertaining to owning/operating a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company.
We've combined a team with backgrounds in the fields of cartography, web development, advertising and marketing so that we can become the missing piece in any puzzle.
Moonbase Virtual was formed in 2009 as a boutique agency specializing in web development for key community organizations. Our core team was formed of individuals with a strong shared history in the fields of cartography, web development, advertising and marketing. In 2009 we formed a development partnership with Golden Shovel Agency and began building the Economic Gateway to create a comprehensive solution aimed at supporting economic development organizations in their efforts to attract businesses and talent to their communities. Today, we continue creating new tools as well as improving and expanding on the original tools to provide the widest possible array of options for the Economic Gateway and Golden Shovel. The moonbase team retains the original core group of individuals who began with the company. Although the growth of our tools and capabilities has been extensive, our business model and product development has been planned to allow for maximum expansion under the original team without requiring extensive additions of staff and maintaining a high standard of work.
As a virtual company, our team members are able to live in the location of their choosing – and even travel extensively or relocate seasonally as desired – yet still work as a team with projects developing smoothly and information passing unhindered between individuals and clients. Our team members enjoy the opportunity to choose where they live based on quality of life rather than availability of employment, and have found that the reduced interruptions and flexibility of schedule inherent in a virtual office environment produce both improved productivity and increased time for personal projects and activities. The company is based in Minnesota, and the team originated in the region, but since its founding our team members have expanded beyond those boundaries, and have checked in from across the US, as well as from various other countries. At the beginning of each year the team takes a winter break to meet in person (usually in a warmer climate), not only to review and plan the year's progress, but to strengthen and refresh the team relationship before the year ahead.
