What we build

Software shaped around how you actually work

Off-the-shelf tools force your business into their mold. We build the tool around the business instead.

Web applications & portals

Customer-facing apps and internal tools that replace spreadsheets, manual steps, and software that no longer fits.

Ordering & booking apps

Custom ordering flows with payments, cutoffs, and scheduling, like the app that took a catering business to 5x order volume.

Admin dashboards

Back-of-house control for menus, pricing, inventory, and scheduling, so owners run the business without calling a developer.

API integrations

Connections between the tools you already use, so data flows automatically instead of being copied by hand.

Legacy rescue & modernization

Inherited something slow, fragile, or abandoned? We audit, stabilize, and modernize in stages. Audits from $1,500.

A modern, owned stack

React, Next.js, Firebase, and serverless. Current tools used with care, and every line of it belongs to you.

Questions

Custom software in Arizona, answered

What does custom software cost?

Custom applications start at $8,000 and scale with scope. Smaller plugins and integrations start around $2,500, and legacy rescue audits at $1,500. Your free proposal comes with an exact number, not an estimate range that doubles later.

Can you take over software someone else built?

Yes. We start with a rescue audit that maps what is worth keeping and what is fragile, then modernize in stages so the system keeps working while it improves. That is how a 13-year-old site became a modern React build.

Who owns the code?

You do, completely: code, data, accounts, and domain. If we ever part ways, you keep everything and any competent developer can pick it up.

Do you work outside Arizona?

Yes. We are based in Tempe and build for businesses across Arizona and remotely across the US. Either way, the same team plans, builds, and maintains your software.

What happens after launch?

Software is never finished, so we stay. Support plans cover updates, monitoring, and improvements, handled by the people who wrote the code.

Have a workflow that deserves better software?

Tell us what is slow, manual, or fragile. We will send a free proposal with a clear scope and an exact price.
