Welcome to the Eldarion Blog

This blog is about Eldarion and our thoughts on business and technical topics.

We figure some people will be interested in the business side of things and some will be interested in the technical side of things. We hope some of you might be interested in both. And so you can read either just the technical posts, just the business posts or the combined blog. Regardless of which you decide to follow, you'll get general company news.

In the business posts, I hope to give a candid look at how we got started, our approach to finance, marketing and business development, how we're doing and what our plans are for the future. In the technical posts, my technical team and I will talk about the technical parts of our operation including lots of stuff about Pinax and Django (as well as other relevant topics such as source code control, databases, testing, deployment, monitoring and more)

So we hope you'll subscribe to one of our feeds and follow along with us in our attempts to build an awesome company.

About this blog

This blog is about Eldarion and our thoughts on business and technical topics.

If terms like “cache invalidation” or “database denormalization” don't interest you, you can just follow the business topics. Alternatively, if terms like “web analytics” or “sales automation” don't interest you, just follow the technical topics.

Of course, you're more than welcome to follow both. At Eldarion, we don't believe people have to only be of one type or the other.

About Eldarion

Eldarion builds great sites with Pinax and Django and helps you to do the same. We provide Pinax support & services, whether it's training, support or custom development you need.

We do web site development, both front-end and back-end, and can continue to host and maintain the site as it evolves.

Gondor, our managed hosting solution, is catered specifically to commercial, multi-tiered Django and Pinax deployments. Whether you are a client wanting us to also take care of your hosting needs or have a site that you develop yourself and just desire push button deployments, Gondor is the solution for you.

We also develop our own sites and host them on Gondor. Some are serious commercial sites, others are more lighthearted and fun.

Whenever possible, we open source components of our web sites and love working with clients that allow us to open source parts of our work for them.
