Upforge, a web and software development company founded by Northern Kentucky resident Ramsey Deal, has opened a downtown Cincinnati office and launched The Forge: What’s Next in Web, Apps & AI, a free online technology publication.
The company works with businesses throughout Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati on websites, custom applications and AI automation. Its new office at Columbia Plaza provides a downtown location for meeting with clients and planning projects.
Among Upforge’s Northern Kentucky projects is the brand and website work for Queen City Riverboats and Destiny Yacht Charters, which share a dock in Dayton, Kentucky. The project gave the Spirit of Cincinnati paddlewheeler and the Destiny yacht distinct visual identities, separate websites and coordinated printed materials, while preserving their connection as sister brands.
The Forge extends the company’s work into publishing, with news, practical guides and analysis for business owners, founders, developers and designers. Coverage includes website development, applications, artificial intelligence, security, accessibility and the decisions involved in building digital products.
“Business owners shouldn’t have to become developers to make informed decisions about their websites and software,” said Deal. “With The Forge, we want to explain what these tools can actually do, where the limitations are and what it takes to build something useful. That perspective comes from doing the work for real businesses.”
Published by Upforge, The Forge draws on the company’s development experience while making its relationship to the business explicit. Its editorial standards call for linking to original sources, distinguishing confirmed facts from interpretation and disclosing coverage of Upforge’s own projects and products.
The publication is available at https://upforge.io/theforge.
