RE-MARK Evolves Web Tech Production
RE-MARK stands for remarkably, repurposable markup and it means we're working with codes, algorithms and other technologies we've developed, tested and upgraded over the years to combine to produce top quality web technologies quickly and on budget.
With almost any web technology production project, developers don’t write each and every line of code from scratch. 50% or more are borrowed, referenced or repurposed from function libraries (like jQuery), previous modules from old projects or found in snippets distributed publicly. At JDM, we’ve found it takes up to 30% more work the first time we build something to make it so that its building blocks can be repurposed over and over again making development faster and higher quality.

So if clients see RE-MARK in a proposal, that doesn’t mean it’s some lame template. It means we’re working with codes, algorithms and other technologies we’ve developed, tested and upgraded (as needed) to combine to produce the very best quality web technologies quickly and on budget (see our post on the Unattainable Triangle to see why this is a big deal).
A RE-MARK Analogy
I like to use the following analogy when explaining what RE-MARK is about. Remember Legos? Building from our RE-MARK technologies is like building with Legos. We can do fully-custom work, but that’s like molding the Legos and then building with totally custom and specialized pieces. That’s highly inefficient if you don’t really need custom building blocks.
Still confused? Feel free to comment your questions or examples of better analogies below.
