Services

One team for the whole technical stack

Most startups end up stitching together a designer, a developer, and someone who knows AWS. We do all of it, which is why there are no hand-offs and no finger-pointing when something breaks.

Build

Design it, build it, ship it

From the first landing page to a product with paying users, including the mobile and AI surfaces small teams tend to get stuck on.

Websites & landing pages

A fast, credible site that turns visitors into signups.

Most early websites are slow, hard to edit, and quietly costing you conversions. We design and build a site you can update yourself, that loads in well under a second, and that is wired into the tools you already use for leads.

Starting from $900

What you get

  • Landing page or full marketing site
  • Editable content, no developer needed for copy changes
  • Analytics, SEO metadata, and sitemap
  • Lead capture wired to your inbox or CRM
  • Performance and accessibility pass before launch

Typical stack

  • Next.js
  • React
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Astro
  • CloudFront

Full-stack product engineering

From whiteboard sketch to a product real users can pay for.

We build the MVP, then keep building. Auth, billing, dashboards, permissions, background jobs - the unglamorous parts that decide whether your product survives its first hundred users.

Starting from $6,500

What you get

  • MVP scoped to the smallest thing worth shipping
  • Authentication, roles, and account management
  • Payments and subscription billing
  • Admin tools so your team is not blocked on engineering
  • Database design and migrations you can live with

Typical stack

  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • React
  • PostgreSQL
  • Prisma
  • Python

Mobile apps

The same product in their pocket, on both stores.

One React Native codebase for iOS and Android, sharing the API and business logic with your web app. We take on the parts people underestimate: store review, push notifications, deep links, poor-network states, and over-the-air updates so a one-line fix does not wait on a review queue.

Starting from $8,500

What you get

  • iOS and Android builds from a single codebase
  • App Store and Play Store submission, through to approval
  • Push notifications, deep links, and universal links
  • Offline and poor-network handling
  • Over-the-air updates for JavaScript-only fixes

Typical stack

  • React Native
  • Expo
  • EAS
  • Fastlane
  • TypeScript

AI & LLM features

A feature that uses a model, not a demo that uses a model.

Most teams bolt a chat box onto a product and stall there. We build the parts that survive contact with real users: retrieval over your own data, structured output you can validate, an evaluation suite so prompt changes stop being guesses, and a per-request cost you can predict before you launch.

Starting from $3,800

What you get

  • Retrieval over your own documents and database
  • Structured extraction and classification you can validate
  • An evaluation suite, so prompt changes are measured
  • Guardrails, moderation, and prompt-injection defences
  • Token cost tracking with a per-feature budget

Typical stack

  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic
  • pgvector
  • Python
  • TypeScript

APIs & third-party integrations

Make the tools you already pay for talk to each other.

Payments, auth, messaging, CRMs, spreadsheets that secretly run the business. We connect them reliably, handle the webhooks nobody wants to handle, and make failures visible instead of silent.

Starting from $800

What you get

  • REST or GraphQL API design and implementation
  • Payment, auth, and messaging provider integrations
  • Webhook receivers with retries and idempotency
  • CRM, billing, and support-tool sync
  • API keys, rate limiting, and audit logging

Typical stack

  • Stripe
  • Clerk
  • OAuth 2.0
  • Webhooks
  • Redis
  • Queues

Run

Keep it fast, cheap, and online

Infrastructure, deploy pipelines, and the cloud bill. Unglamorous work that decides whether a launch turns into a business.

Cloud & AWS deployment

Get it live, keep the bill small, sleep at night.

We set up the AWS account properly the first time: least-privilege access, infrastructure defined in code, HTTPS everywhere, automated backups, and a cost profile that does not quietly grow 20% a month.

Starting from $1,200

What you get

  • AWS account, IAM, and network baseline
  • Static hosting on S3 + CloudFront, or containers on ECS
  • Managed database, backups, and restore drills
  • Domain, DNS, TLS certificates, and email sending
  • A written cost breakdown and monthly budget alarm

Typical stack

  • AWS
  • Terraform
  • AWS CDK
  • Docker
  • CloudFront
  • RDS

DevOps, CI/CD & observability

Ship on a Friday without holding your breath.

Deploys should be boring. We wire up pipelines, preview environments, infrastructure as code, and monitoring that tells you something broke before your customers do.

Starting from $1,400

What you get

  • CI pipeline running tests and linting on every push
  • Automated preview environment per pull request
  • One-command production deploys with rollback
  • Dashboards, alerting, and error tracking
  • Runbooks for the failures that actually happen

Typical stack

  • GitHub Actions
  • Docker
  • Terraform
  • Grafana
  • Sentry
  • CloudWatch

Cloud cost reduction

Find the spend that is not doing anything for you.

Most AWS accounts we open have idle resources, oversized instances, and log retention set to forever. We go through the bill line by line, right-size what is safe to touch, and leave alarms that catch the next drift. The report is yours whether or not you act on it.

Starting from $900

What you get

  • Line-by-line audit of the last three months of spend
  • Right-sizing, reserved capacity, and savings-plan decisions
  • Storage lifecycle rules and log retention limits
  • Budget and anomaly alarms that reach an actual person
  • A written plan for what we would change next

Typical stack

  • AWS Cost Explorer
  • Compute Optimizer
  • CloudWatch
  • Terraform

Grow

Make what you already have work harder

Speed, search visibility, and the numbers behind your decisions. Almost always cheaper than building something new.

Technical SEO & performance

The same pages, only faster and actually findable.

Speed and search visibility are rarely solved by redesigning anything. We measure what is genuinely slow, fix the render path and the data fetching behind it, then check that crawlers see your pages properly. You get before-and-after numbers, not a vanity score.

Starting from $1,200

What you get

  • Core Web Vitals audit with before-and-after measurements
  • Render and data-fetching fixes that move LCP and INP
  • Structured data, canonical tags, and sitemap hygiene
  • A migration off a page builder that keeps its rankings
  • Budget alarms for page weight and bundle size

Typical stack

  • Lighthouse
  • WebPageTest
  • Next.js
  • Search Console
  • Schema.org

Data pipelines & dashboards

Stop rebuilding the same spreadsheet every Monday.

We pull your data into one place, clean it up on a schedule, and put a dashboard in front of it that your team trusts. No more version-of-the-truth arguments.

Starting from $3,200

What you get

  • Ingestion from your existing tools and APIs
  • Scheduled transforms with tests and freshness checks
  • A warehouse or analytics database you own
  • Internal dashboards and scheduled reports
  • Metric definitions documented in plain language

Typical stack

  • Python
  • DuckDB
  • PostgreSQL
  • dbt
  • Airflow
  • Metabase

Protect

Stay secure, accessible, and in control

The work that unblocks an enterprise deal or keeps you out of trouble, plus an honest second opinion when you want one.

Security & compliance basics

Be ready for the enterprise security questionnaire.

You do not need a security team yet. You do need secrets out of the repo, dependencies that are not three years stale, and an answer when a customer asks how you protect their data.

Starting from $1,100

What you get

  • Secrets management and rotation
  • Dependency and container vulnerability scanning
  • Authentication hardening and SSO options
  • Access reviews and audit logging
  • Documented policies for GDPR or SOC 2 readiness

Typical stack

  • OWASP
  • Vault
  • Trivy
  • SSO
  • Audit logging

Accessibility & compliance

Usable by everyone, and able to prove it.

Accessibility is a legal requirement for consumer products sold into the EU, and an unstated procurement requirement almost everywhere else. We audit against WCAG, fix the issues that genuinely block people, and leave a written record you can hand to a customer or a regulator.

Starting from $1,600

What you get

  • WCAG 2.2 AA audit with reproducible findings
  • Keyboard, focus-order, and screen-reader remediation
  • A documented accessibility statement and conformance report
  • Automated checks wired into CI so it does not regress
  • A session with your team on what to do differently

Typical stack

  • WCAG 2.2
  • axe-core
  • NVDA
  • VoiceOver
  • Playwright

Code audit & project rescue

An honest second opinion, and a way out if you need one.

Whether you are about to inherit a codebase, worried about one you already own, or stuck with a contractor who has gone quiet, we start with a short paid assessment. You get a written report with risks ranked, costed options for each path, and a recommendation that may well be to leave things alone.

Starting from $1,500

What you get

  • Read-only review of code, infrastructure, and access
  • A risk register ranked by cost and likelihood
  • A written recommendation: keep, fix, or rebuild
  • Costed options and timelines for each path
  • A takeover and rescue plan, if you want one

Typical stack

  • Everything above
  • Plus a written report

Fractional CTO & ongoing support

A senior engineer on call, minus the full-time salary.

Architecture reviews, hiring help, vendor negotiations, code review, and someone to call when production is on fire. We plug in at whatever level you actually need.

Starting from $490/mo

What you get

  • Architecture and technical-debt reviews
  • Engineering roadmap and build-versus-buy calls
  • Code review and mentoring for your team
  • Interview design and technical hiring support
  • On-call coverage and incident response

Typical stack

  • Everything above
  • Plus judgement
