There's a galaxy of adventure out there!
2022 was the first full year of the existence of M2-D2 in which we started to focus on webshops, application programming interfaces, data-driven custom developments, the world of radio stations and NFTs. Continuing in 2023, we show the world what online business is all about!
Webshop specialists
Our e-commerce team specialises in creating e-commerce websites and -shops that are visually appealing, user-friendly and optimized for search engines. We use the latest technologies and industry best practices to ensure that your website is fast, secure, and reliable.
API integrations
Our API website integration service provides seamless integration of third-party APIs into your website, enabling you to offer additional functionalities to your users. We work with a wide range of APIs, including payment gateways, social media platforms, e-commerce solutions and more.
Professional radio websites
Radio station websites need to be visually appealing, easy to navigate, and include a reliable non-stop music player to keep listeners engaged. Our team of experts can help you create a unique online presence that reflects your station’s brand, programming and more.
One of a kind digital assets
Our team will work closely with you to understand your requirements and preferences, and then use our expertise to create an NFT that meets these specifications. This may involve creating a digital artwork or converting an existing artwork into an NFT, as well as designing the token and developing the associated smart contract.
Digital
“Software is eating the world”, as Marc Andreessen, co-founder of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, published in an essay in The Wall Street Journal in 2011. And he was right. Lines of code are revamping industry dynamics, generating fresh revenue streams and optimising value chains within and across companies. While disruption accelerates given wider cloud adoption. M2-D2 is your perfect partner for grasping the benefits of digital business.
Data
Data is a precious business asset. Data is the new gold, but only if you know where to look. M2-D2 helps organizations locate, identify and leverage their data through modelling, collection and database integration, and discover the value in that data through analytics, visualisation and the enablement of API-based data services. As Ronald Coase, the Noble Prize winning British economist and Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, once said: “Torture the data, and it will confess to anything.”
Agility Speed to market and risk migration
Agile software development breaks the overall work to be done into small increments that minimise the amount of up-front planning and design. Iterations, or sprints, are short time frames (timeboxes) that typically last from one to four weeks. Each iteration involves a cross-functional team working in all functions: planning, analysis, design, coding, unit testing, and acceptance testing. At the end of the iteration a working product is demonstrated to stakeholders. This minimises overall risk and allows the product to adapt to changes quickly. An iteration might not add enough functionality to warrant a market release, but the goal is to have an available release at the end of each iteration. A key advantage of agile software development is speed to market and risk mitigation. Smaller increments are typically released to market reducing the time and cost risk of engineering a product that doesn’t meet user requirements.
UX/UI Design
The UX/UI design of an application improves the user experience and satisfaction which ultimately helps increase the number of users of your application, the number of visitors of your webplatform and the number of buyers in your webshop. We design the optimal user experience for your audience, taking the latest design trends into account.
Software Development
Your requirements are captured and translated into a functional design and solution architecture which are key for developing a technical architecture with a back-end system that executes your business logic and leverages API-enabled integrations wit 3rd parties. Software Development is a science as well as an art, coding is a mission, and we at M2-D2 simply love it!
System operations
In a 7×24 economy, you need someone to take care of the availability, responsiveness and performance of your web platform. Trust from users is something that takes time to nurture and is lost in the wink of an eye if your platform goes down. That’s why our devops teams have an “always on” mentality, using automation and human skills to make sure you deliver your users the experience they deserve.
Online Marketing
Your website or -shop has the perfect design, offers great products and services, but… it’s one of the best hidden secrets of the online world. In other words: great platform, zero business. That’s why we speicalise in both the technical side of online marketing as well as the commercial aspects of attracting, seducing and securing customers, via SEO, SEA, content and social media marketing.
