Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails remains a great web technology for more complex sites and applications, or where a high degree of bespoke functionality is needed. We have a strong Rails team who are ready to build, and maintain and support your Rails website.

Can't find a really good Rails team?

Rails is a powerful framework known for its flexibility and robustness. A lot of really great websites have been built using Ruby on Rails, but it has become increasingly difficult to find web agencies with the expertise and experience to maintain and support these sites.

That's where we come in.

Haunt Digital has been working with Ruby on Rails since we started, and we continue to work with a range of clients to host, support, maintain and improve their Rails sites.

Our Rails services

Some of the services we perform for our Rails clients include:

  • Getting neglected test suites “green” (passing) again
  • Upgrading Rails applications, including across multiple versions at once
  • Migrating legacy front end systems to modern Javascript
  • Building and maintaining modern, well documented and tested APIs
  • Migrating custom and/or legacy Rails functionality (like search) to modern third party applications
  • Updating deployment and hosting, including to the Cloud, or moving from expensive Platforms as a Service (PaaS) (e.g. Heroku) to most cost-effective infrastructure.

Some examples of our work

These are some of the Rails websites we have built or supported.

  • Ventia

    Haunt supported Ventia, one of Australasia's largest infrastructure services providers, maintaining their corporate website www.ventia.com.

  • Basketball New Zealand

    We love basketball, and were stoked to be able to develop a neat little web app to display data for all of New Zealand basketball's players and teams, going back to the 1950s.

  • Consumer New Zealand

    Haunt has been Consumer's web development agency for several years, supporting them as they transition from an organisation that was well known for its subscription-based magazine, to one that is truly a digital communications organisation finding new audiences and new ways to create impact. Haunt supports their flagship websites - Consumer.org.nz as well as Powerswitch.org.nz.
