About Spiral Development
Spiral Development is a software firm that specializes in web and handheld application development.
Formed in 1997, the company was originally called SMNC for Shawn M. Nussbaum, Consultant. Our focus back then was business application and interactive media development.
In 2000, we helped launch an Internet company and began to change our focus to web application development.
In 2002, we took on a long-term contract to design and develop a web-lead application called Open Leads.
In 2007, we changed our name to Spiral Development and started the move from services to products.
We live and work in Asheville, a beautiful, unique city in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
