Software Development

Bringing ideas into software people can rely on. We design, build, and maintain custom software, websites, and applications — and keep the systems behind them running at peak performance.

Scope

What's in scope.

The boundary of the engagement is set in writing before work begins.

Bringing ideas into software people can rely on. We design, build, and maintain custom software, websites, and applications — and keep the systems behind them running at peak performance.

Scope is written collaboratively during discovery and signed off before any build work starts. Changes are handled as written amendments, not surprise invoices.

Deliverables

What you'll receive.

  • Custom software, web, and mobile builds

    Take an idea from sketch to production — full-stack engineering across web, mobile, and desktop, shipped with the same discipline as a team three times our size.

  • Website design & deployment

    Conversion-focused, accessible, fast websites built with modern tooling and shipped on infrastructure that scales without surprises.

  • Managed website hosting & care

    Spotlight

    An affordable monthly retainer that keeps every site we build running at full strength. Bugs are fixed and content is updated in real time the moment they're needed, security is patched before it matters, and a senior engineer is on the line when something needs to move at two in the morning. You write us; the site keeps up.

  • Computer optimization & maintenance

    Hands-on care for the machines you and your team work on every day — clean-up, hardening, and tuning so your computers perform exactly the way they should.

    Final week

    Production hardening, observability, written handoff.

FAQ

Common questions.

How do you price engagements?
Fixed-price for well-scoped work, weekly retainer for open-ended or exploratory engagements. Pricing is always in the proposal brief before any contract.
Do you work with existing teams?
Yes. We regularly embed with in-house engineers, or augment a small team with specific capabilities — AI integration, infrastructure, design — for a defined period.
What happens after launch?
Either a written handoff so your team owns everything, or an ongoing retainer for maintenance, features, and on-call support. Your choice, stated up-front.
