Chromedia, Inc.

Chromedia is a Denver-based custom software development and staff augmentation firm with an offshore team in Cebu, Philippines. Founded in 1996, the company operates as a US-led organization blending Denver leadership with Philippines-based engineering. Their team includes front-end developers, QA engineers, UI/UX designers, product owners, and AWS-certified system administrators who have worked together for nearly two decades. The company serves startups, mid-market companies, and enterprises across fintech, healthcare, travel, and media sectors.

Services and capabilities

Chromedia offers three core service models. Staff augmentation lets clients hire vetted developers directly, maintaining full operational control over schedules and team composition. Managed software development provides end-to-end product ownership—from MVP design through maintenance—with Chromedia supplying dedicated product leadership and engineering teams. Custom development spans web platforms, iOS and Android mobile apps, SaaS products, and legacy system modernization.

Their technical work includes native mobile development with real-time syncing, video and chat functionality, document sharing, custom payment systems, and automated invoicing. Cloud and business tool development covers custom CRM systems, workflow automation, and SaaS platforms. They handle AWS infrastructure with code audits, penetration testing, and HIPAA-compliant deployments. UI/UX design emphasizes accessibility and interaction design, reducing complex functionality into clear user flows. Quality engineering includes automated test scripts, regression testing, and cross-browser compatibility checks. Legacy application modernization covers UI redesign, code refactoring, cloud migration, and system integration.

The company describes its approach as "business-focused software engineering"—solving complex problems through scalable solutions rather than feature checklists. Product teams include front-end developers, mobile developers, quality engineers, UI/UX designers, product owners, project managers, systems/DevOps engineers, and support staff. Chromedia positions itself as built by entrepreneurs: several founding team members have launched, scaled, and exited startups, influencing how they handle rapid growth, funding milestones, and product-market fit.

Notable work

Chromedia's portfolio includes direct work with fintech, healthcare, travel, and media companies. Cruisebound, an online cruise booking platform, worked with Chromedia; the co-founder noted engineers "were both responsive and could be counted on to deliver. Every time." Spoke Health, a multi-channel patient benefits and provider comparison platform, credits Chromedia with delivering "solutions that are better than we had originally envisioned" at "very reasonable" pricing. Styleteq, an iOS/Android app for stylists and tattoo artists, launched with Chromedia's mobile expertise. MEDtrip, a medical tourism directory, praised the team's HIPAA compliance knowledge and "cultural alignment and understanding of startups." iFlipd, an ebook rental iOS app, found Chromedia developers "more productive and communicative than many developers I've worked with in the US."

Other clients span sectors: One Foot Productions (live TV logistics), Portland Pedal Power (catering operations), Hatch (marketing SaaS), Valid Eval (decision-support software), Geolens (location intelligence), and Cambium Networks (wireless networking). The company has also worked on platforms for fantasy sports, medical technology, corporate gifting (Fluid Gifts), employment screening (EagleScreen), clinical reviews (MRIoA), home buying guidance, AI-driven sales tools, and fintech products. A partial list includes ContractsRx (contract automation SaaS), MedTech insights platforms, event-based social networking, homeownership planning tools, and marketplace and delivery applications.

How they work

Chromedia operates on flexible engagement models. Clients can hire staff augmentation—accessing vetted Philippines-based developers who integrate into existing US workflows with minimal ramp-up. Alternatively, clients can hand off full-cycle development to a dedicated Chromedia team that owns product strategy, design, engineering, and ongoing maintenance. The company handles time-zone differences: the Denver office operates US business hours while the Cebu team works overlap hours to maintain real-time communication. On hiring and staffing, Chromedia vets developers upfront; clients maintain control over team selection, scheduling, and cultural alignment. Pricing is not explicitly stated on the website, though testimonials note the firm is competitively priced relative to US-based alternatives.

Team and credentials

The company was incorporated in 1996. It employs a team across two offices: Denver, Colorado (US headquarters) and Cebu, Philippines (6th floor, Keppel Center, Cebu Business Park). The website lists 40+ team members by first name, suggesting a 51-200 person organization, though exact headcount is not disclosed. Leadership includes co-founder Greg and VP of Sales Ryan Young. The team is AWS-certified and includes product owners, system administrators, and QA specialists. The company does not list ISO, SOC 2, or GDPR certifications on the visible website; however, testimonials reference HIPAA compliance experience and third-party security reviews. A recent partnership announcement (October 2025) with Simply Solutions Ltd. (Ontario, Canada) indicates Chromedia's first Canadian expansion.
