Your idea, running in production.
Most dev shops take months and charge six figures before you see a login screen. We ship production web apps in days. Real products, not prototypes.
The six-figure quote that never ships.
You brief a development agency. They scope it at $80K and four months. Three months in, you have a staging environment with half the features, a Jira board with 200 tickets, and a change request form for anything new.
The budget doubles. The timeline slips. You launch six months late with a product nobody tested in market.
“We spent $120K on a dev agency and 8 months later, the app still wasn’t usable. We scrapped it and started over.”
Founder, r/startups
CB Insights: 70% of custom software projects exceed their budget. 33% are abandoned entirely. The traditional agency model is broken.
Traditional Dev Shop
Timeline: 3 to 6 months. Change requests billed hourly.
We built Paper Lake in under a week. Sub Tracker is live with real users. Domain Spy caught a $10B acquisition 14 days early.
These are real products with real users. Not mockups. Not MVPs that need six more months of work. Production software, shipped.

We use proven architecture patterns across auth, billing, and data modelling. AI handles the repetitive code. Our founder handles the decisions that matter. The result is the same quality in a fraction of the time.
Ship first. Learn fast.
A $50K build that takes 6 months is 6 months of guessing what users want. A $10K build that ships in a week gives you real feedback from real users while the other agency is still in discovery.

One point of contact.
Every project is led by our founder, Chris Raad. He handles architecture, development, and delivery. No handoffs between departments. No account managers relaying messages.
Scope call
15 minutes. You describe what you need. We tell you which tier fits, what the timeline looks like, and whether we are the right team for it.
Architecture + build
We design the data model, set up auth, wire the API, and build the frontend. You get a staging link to test as we go.
Review + launch
Final round of feedback, production deployment, domain pointed, monitoring configured. You are live.
Post-launch support
30 days included. Bug fixes, tweaks, user feedback iterations. Optional maintenance retainer after that.
