We build technology.

We are Makers

As your local engineering partner, we build your product with a handshake and smile.

Since 1997, Clifton Labs has provided quality computer engineering and software development to the Cincinnati area (and as of 2013 to Fargo, North Dakota too!). From custom designed USB devices to modern web application development, we've got all the bases covered!

We are solutions oriented and engineering centric. To us, this means we are always sharpening our skills and evolving our trade. To you it means we use the best tools at our disposal to build your vision

End to End Development

We write your software and build your hardware.

We build deployable software and hardware solutions, engineering prototypes, or pre-production prototypes. If we can't do it in house, we'll work with one of our local partners to get the job done.

In a city known for branding, we pride ourselves as being the "behind the scenes" guys. We thrive on process. Efficiency. Scaleablility. Security. We know what we're good at, and we know who to depend on for areas outside of our expertise.

Mobile

Need a quick native iOS or Android app? No problem. Interested in a mobile bluetooth bridge to your sensor network? Sounds fun. Curious about jQuery mobile web apps, or up-and-coming cross platform tools like Cordova/PhoneGap or Titanium? Let's talk!

Hardware

Just because we're fluent in modern web application development doesn't mean we've forgotten our engineering roots. Embedded linux, custom designed industrial controllers, usb devices... there is no project too strange for us to take on.

Software

We're huge fans of open source software technologies and the communities behind them. Let's work together to leverage the power of community driven software. Of course, open source doesn't have to mean non-proprietary!

We are a designer's best friend

We work with local partners who are experts in their field: hardware engineering, web designers & branding visionaries, product development and industrial designers.

Are you a designer or agency who needs a dependable, quick, and talented team to handle the technical stuff? Seriously, let's talk! We won't let you down. We'll also support your client for the long-term so you can focus on the fun stuff.
