North Development Studios

About

In 2007, Roberto Cerquiera, Alan Barber, and Brent O'Neill enrolled in North Gwinnett High School's Tech Entrepeneur class. All three were talented programmers or designers, and successful graduates of the school's programming courses.

Alan and Brent (friends from the year before) were planning on starting a web company (then called BA Designs) when they met Roberto. Roberto (already working as a freelance webmaster) agreed to merge with Alan and Brent.

Together, the three of them started several businesses that eventaully came to be known as the northGroup, one of which is NorthDS, their Suwanee/Gwinnett website company.

Suwanee Business Alliance

NorthDS was approached to reinvent the Suwanee Business Alliance. The result can be seen above.

The elegant design is accompanied by dynamic ads, a scrolling google calendar, and a member's only area containing a business directory incorporated into an interactive map of the Suwanee area.
