The story
Founded by Hector Hurtado in 2006, graphility started as a one man band creating static and CMS based web solutions, as well as providing brand identity consulting to small businesses. It quickly enrolled the services of Wouter Ghysens for additional web design production.
In early 2007, production artist Marta Hurtado and typographer Robert Veres joined. Being a small but cohesive team encouraged members to adopt Agile methodologies. Since then, the functional job descriptions are complemented by Extreme Programming roles. This blurs the hierarchical boundaries somewhat, yet allows to deliver solutions at a more dynamic pace.
In the following years, graphility expanded its services to web authoring, interaction design, and web analytics, thus being able to provide complete solutions from Information Architecture to content publishing.
With the recent addition of print designer Etienne Carton de Tournai, the agency now provides additional print collateral services to its existing customer base.
Philosophy
- to create opportunities for collaboration between independent designers while sustaining hard-earned freedom
- to showcase off-stream work/life styles: free-lancing, teleworking, outsourcing, mobile and nomad lifestyles
- inspired by the Agile manifesto, we love to get things done through the use of Agile methodologies, open standards, and often open source, in our crafted web solutions
We are currently accepting members on invite only, but we would be happy to have you on board if these three points resonate with you!
And the gecko?
We believe the gecko is a great promoter of Agile methodologies!
- highly communicative among peers
- geckos can climb any surface using their incredible toe pads
- geckos dispose waste – sometimes even their tails! – in response to aggressive events
- masters of survival, some females can reproduce without partners if necessary
- some species have mimetic abilities allowing them to blend with their environment
- some species have increased night vision with color awareness
