SERVICE / 01·Custom Design & Development

Software built around your business, not the other way around.

End-to-end product engineering for SMBs that need bespoke web apps, internal tools and customer portals — designed by senior product designers, shipped by senior full-stack engineers, supported on day 30, 90 and 365.

What we build

A full product team, scoped to a single engagement.

We don't sell hours; we sell shipped software. Every engagement includes the disciplines below — assigned to senior practitioners, never juniors with a senior label.

Discovery & product strategy

Stakeholder interviews, JTBD mapping, technical feasibility scoring and a prioritized backlog before a single line of code.

Product & UX design

Information architecture, user flows, hi-fi Figma prototypes and a token-driven design system that ships with the build.

Full-stack engineering

TypeScript front-ends (React, Next, Vue), Node / .NET / Python backends, Postgres / SQL Server, queues and event-driven services.

Data, auth & APIs

Schema design, role-based access, REST + GraphQL, OAuth/SSO, audit logging — the unsexy plumbing that prevents production fires.

Deploy & hand-off

CI/CD, IaC, environment parity, runbooks, observability dashboards and documentation your future hires will actually read.

Hypercare & evolution

90-day hypercare with a named on-call engineer, then a retainer model for iterative product evolution.
How we work

A predictable shape, built to absorb your unknowns.

Every engagement follows the same five phases. The duration of each scales with scope — but the rhythm, deliverables and decision points don't change.

Discovery sprint

Two-day workshops, stakeholder interviews, system audit. Output: a written architecture brief, scope tiers, and a fixed-fee proposal.

WorkshopsAudit

Design & technical spike

Figma prototypes for the critical paths, design tokens, an architecture diagram, and a working spike of the riskiest unknown.

FigmaTokens

Iterative build

2-week sprints with mid-sprint demos. You see deployable software from week 4. Velocity, blockers and burn are public on a shared dashboard.

SprintsDemos

Hardening & launch

Performance tuning, accessibility audit, load testing, security review, runbooks, and a phased rollout plan with rollback criteria.

What you walk away with

You own everything. The repo, the cloud account, the documentation, the relationship.

We quote a fixed fee per phase after a paid 1-week discovery sprint. The discovery alone produces a written architecture brief, scope tiers (good / better / best) and a transparent budget envelope — even if you choose not to continue with us.

Bring us the messy version.
We'll bring back a plan.

A 25-minute scoping call costs nothing and usually shortens your project by weeks. No sales engineer, no slide deck — just a senior who'll be on your build.

# what to bring to the call
· a one-paragraph problem statement
· any existing docs / Figma / repos
· a rough budget envelope (or "no idea")
· a target launch window
$ that's it. we'll do the rest.
