Services
Four things, done properly.
We'd rather be excellent at a short list than passable at everything. If your project isn't on it, we'll tell you and point you somewhere better.
Web applications
Dashboards, portals, internal tools, and full SaaS products. Typed end to end, tested where it counts, and built to survive your next three feature requests.
- Auth, billing & roles
- Realtime & background jobs
- Admin tooling
Marketing sites
Fast, accessible, editable sites that load in under a second and actually convert. Your marketing team ships copy changes without filing a ticket.
- Sub-second loads
- CMS your team can use
- SEO & analytics wired in
Mobile apps
iOS and Android from a single React Native codebase, with the native bits written natively when the experience calls for it. Store submission included.
- One codebase, two stores
- Offline-first data
- Push & deep links
Integrations & AI
The unglamorous plumbing that makes the rest work: payments, CRMs, data pipelines, and LLM features that are scoped to a real job instead of a demo.
- Payments & webhooks
- Data sync & ETL
- Evaluated AI features
Process
No black boxes. Ever.
You'll always know what we're building this week, what it costs, and when you'll see it. Four stages, every engagement.
- 01
Scope
A paid discovery week. We map the problem, cut everything that isn't the first release, and hand you a fixed scope, price, and date.
- 02
Design
Flows and screens in the browser, not in a slide deck. You click through the real thing before we write the expensive parts.
- 03
Build
Weekly releases to a staging URL you can share. A standing 30-minute call, a shared channel, and no status reports nobody reads.
- 04
Ship & support
We launch, watch the graphs, and fix what the first real users find. Then we hand over the keys, the docs, and the runbook.

Clients
What it's like to work with us.
“They scoped in a week what our last agency spent two months not deciding. The first release shipped early, and it worked.”
“The weekly staging link changed everything. We caught the wrong assumptions in week two instead of at launch.”
“We got the codebase, the docs, and a team that could actually maintain it. That was the whole point.”
FAQ
Questions we get every week.
Something not covered here? Email us — a real engineer answers.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within two to three weeks. Discovery can often start sooner — it's a separate, smaller commitment, and it's the fastest way for both of us to find out whether this is a good fit.
Do you work fixed-price or hourly?
Fixed price for defined scope, monthly for ongoing work. We quote after discovery, once we both know what we're building. If scope changes mid-project, we re-quote the delta in writing before anyone starts on it.
Who owns the code?
You do, in full, from the first commit. We work in your repository and your cloud accounts wherever possible. There's no proprietary framework you'd have to license from us later.
Can you work with our existing team?
Yes, and it's often the best setup. We can lead the build, embed alongside your engineers, or take one workstream while your team handles the rest. We use your tools and your rituals.
What if we already have a design?
Great — send it. We'll review it for feasibility and edge cases, flag anything that will get expensive, and build it. If you don't have one, design is included in every project engagement.
What happens after launch?
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support for bugs and small adjustments. After that you can move to a retainer, hand it to your team with our documentation, or simply leave it running.
Got something that needs building?
Send us two paragraphs about it. You'll get a real reply within one business day — and an honest answer about whether we're the right team for it.
