About Blueprint DC
Blueprint DC is the brainchild of Brandon Savage, a resident of Washington, DC and longtime PHP developer.
The company was started with the idea that software development can be an art, not just a science. Blueprint DC strives to develop web applications that envelop great ideas, and solve complex problems with open source technologies and the community mind.
As part of our commitment to being excellent, we employ strict development guidelines, from the use of source control to the writing of unit tests and logging of trouble tickets. We seek to build a relationship with our clients, to know their needs and to adopt them as our own, while maintaining a high level of quality in the work we perform.
Our Mission
A company's mission defines the scope and breadth of the work we do. A mission statement alone cannot define a company, but can help shape it. Our mission is as follows:
- To produce high-quality software in a workman-like fashion that is bug-free and delights our clients.
- To enhance our own skills and knowledge through continuous learning and involvement with the technologies we love.
- To engage the communities that surround the open source products we use in a meaningful way.
- To educate and inform through discussion, debate, and substantive contribution.
- To innovate with new ideas and concepts, never letting our existing knowledge limit our future choices.
- To recognize that being profitable yet honorable is a crucial component to our business success.
Our Values
Blueprint DC holds a number of values as crucial and critical to our success as a company. We hold the values of integrity, honesty, workmanship, diligence, and transparency as core values.

- Workmanship ~ Producing high quality work is essential to repeat business, which is essential to the success of our company.
- Diligence ~ Technical challenges are our bread and butter. We don't shrink from a challenge, but we embrace it with due diligence and work until it is resolved.
