Caxy Interactive
About the company
Caxy Interactive is a web design and development firm in Chicago specializing in User Experience and Agile-driven software and technology development. We love helping clients break new ground, find new customers, and engage the ones they already have in unexpected ways. What’s important to us? Everything we build comes from User-Centered Design. We’re passionate about running our projects using Agile principles. Why? Because it simultaneously gets clients the best products and makes Caxy a sane, efficient place to do your best work. Coders appreciate the value of the design process and designers appreciate the development process. Our mission is simple. We want to create digital experiences that tie brand experiences together. User experience, design, strategy and execution collide to form products that our customers and their customers love. We are committed to delivering value to our clients with every interaction and output. Once upon a time, we started a web development company. Caxy is a Chicago based web consulting and custom web development agency founded in 1999. For over fifteen years we’ve navigated the changes in technology, continually innovating and delivering value to our clients. We’re open source specialists with expertise in user centered design, content management systems, e-commerce, mobile application development, database development and custom web applications. We believe that the future of human-computer interactions will be informed more by the concepts of user experience, machine learning and user feedback loops than the underlying technology itself. Caxy will always pursue the best and most current technologies that allow us to connect our client’s customers to better digital experiences. We’re firm believers in an iterative approach to software development and manage our projects in accordance with Scrum and Agile practices.

Arts Circle Calendar for Northwestern University
Northwestern’s calendar of arts events includes entries from a variety of different schools and groups and programs. The trouble is that the data is different for each source and there wasn’t a good way to display it all. Caxy created a system that goes into each of the data sources looking for new events and pulls it back to the central system. Then editors are alerted to missing data and images that need to be added before publishing. Once entries are tidied up, the events can be published to the main site so that people can sign up.
