For the last 14 years, Josh Cramer‘s Iowa City-based development firm has gone by the name of Cramer Dev. But as the team has grown to 14 and his company changed, Cramer began to re-evaulate and announced today that Cramer Dev has changed its name to FullStack.

“To start with, our company has grown and evolved significantly over the years,” Cramer told Silicon Prairie News. “Also the landscape of the Internet and web has changed significantly since 2000.

“We wanted to present ourselves with a name that better represented who we’ve become as a company and the unique value we have in the marketplace.” 

Earlier today Cramer Dev officially announced the name change on its site, saying FullStack will be the “same great company, same great people, all new name and website.” FullStack handles everything from product management and mobile app development to interface, experience and interactive design. 

In January, FullStack entered into a one-year contract with Seattle-based Chef Inc., a company that specializes in IT automations and application deliveries that recently closed a $32 million series D round of funding. For the last few months, FullStack’s team has been involved in building open-source projects for the company.

“[Chef] has some big, ambitious goals for 2014,” Cramer (left) said. “Their community site is important to them, but their internal team didn’t have the resources to get it done, plus there was some talent on our team that I think they realized could be used to achieve their objectives.” 

FullStack also recently redesigned fellow Iowa City startup Higher Learning Technologies‘ web and mobile interfaces. 

“It really makes a difference to have a good design that encapsulates an idea,” Cramer said. “People are much more likely to use, adopt, share and spread something faster than if it was designed poorly.

“That’s really what we’re seeing with HLT. We redesigned and created a better experience that looks so much better and their sales have really increased significantly.”

Cramer also is an investor in HLT and serves as the startup’s CTO.
