§ 02 — What you actually get

A small engineering team's output, without an engineering team.

01

Build

Marketing site, customer portal, internal tools, custom CMS, full SaaS — written from scratch with the leverage of agents and senior taste.

  • Custom code, owned and operated by us
  • Designed for your business, not a template
  • Ships in days, not quarters
02

Run

Hosting, monitoring, backups, security patches, on-call. Our incident agents notice things before you do — and usually fix them before you wake up.

  • 99.984% measured uptime, fleet-wide
  • Self-healing infrastructure
  • Compliance program in progress · see /trust
03

Evolve

Every plan includes ongoing engineering capacity. New page, new feature, new integration — file it, our agents triage, a human ships.

  • Continuous improvements, not one-time builds
  • New AI capabilities adopted as they ship
  • Quarterly architecture review
§ 03 — Three plans

Pick the one that matches the scope. Move up when the business does.

§ 04 — Next step

A 30-minute call. We'll tell you straight whether we're a fit.

We only take on clients we can ship for. If we're not the right answer, we'll point you to one — usually a specific developer, sometimes a specific Squarespace template. No follow-up emails.
