Our primary role in the virtual environment is not one of building things and designing islands. There are many, many very good companies out there that do those things and besides, our unique skills are on the "understanding" and "learning" side. So we decided some time ago that our focus was on our strengths.

However, as we have helped hundreds of people "understand" Second Life over the past five years, we have seen a lot of those people who have some great ideas, but struggle with how to turn those ideas into realities.

We have also watched those folks sometimes struggle to find builders and creators who met their needs, who understood the "meaning behind the build", and who could communicate with them in a helpful way.

More importantly, we have seen many, many people and groups come into Second Life and build very expansive things, but primarily only replicating what they do in the real world. Rather than considering what the virtual environment might allow them to do that is impossible to do elsewhere...and thereby create products and services with entirely new value, they just replicate. Most of the time, that ends in disappointment. We think there is more.

After several folks kept begging us, and we watched several more very good people become disillusioned and leave the environment, we decided to do two things.

First, we have developed a network of builders, scripters, graphic designers, instructional designers and others whom we can connect you with to do the work you need done...and done well. We can help you clarify your project with the contractor, can help negotiate a very fair and reasonable rate for the work, and can help monitor the work to see that it gets done to your satisfaction.

Secondly, we also make available a limited number of opportunities to contract with you and do the actual development work ourselves. While not our primary focus, we do know there are times that our unique skills can make a significant difference in the final result of a project, and we will do our best to be available to make that happen.

Your project might be the creation of an entirely new island to bring your business or class into Second Life, might be to create an interactive approach for a new activity, or might be to introduce and orient a new group of members into Second Life....or any of a thousand other ideas. We'll be happy to talk with you to help you see that your project is a success!
