Two Phases: Build & Maintain

We take you from idea to launch, then stick around to help your product grow

🏗️

Build

We create your digital product from scratch—discovery to launch

  • Discovery & Planning
  • Design & Prototyping
  • Development & Testing
  • Launch

⏱️ Typically 2-6 months depending on scope

🔧

Maintain

We keep your product running smoothly and help it evolve over time

  • Ongoing Support & Bug Fixes
  • Performance Monitoring
  • Updates & New Features
  • Security & Infrastructure

🔄 Flexible monthly retainers tailored to your needs

How We Work With Clients

Our collaborative process keeps you informed and involved every step of the way as we build your product

1

Discovery & Planning

We start by listening. We want to understand your business, your customers, and what success looks like for you. Through conversations and workshops, we'll map out your needs, identify priorities, and create a clear roadmap for your project.

"What problems are we solving? Who will use this? What's most important to launch with?"

2

Design & Prototyping

Before we write any code, we'll create designs and interactive prototypes you can click through and test. This lets us refine the experience, get feedback from real users, and make sure we're building the right thing before we invest in development.

"Does this flow make sense? Is it easy to use? Does it look and feel right?"

3

Development & Check-ins

Now we build it. We work in short cycles (usually 1-2 weeks), showing you working features regularly so you can see progress and provide feedback. You'll never be in the dark about what's happening—we keep you updated and involved throughout.

"Here's what we built this week. Try it out and let us know what you think."

4

Testing & Refinement

Before launch, we thoroughly test everything—trying to break it so your users won't experience issues. We'll test on different devices, browsers, and scenarios to make sure it works smoothly everywhere. Any bugs or rough edges get polished.

"We've tested it on iPhones, Androids, tablets, and different browsers—it's ready."

5

Launch & Support

Launch day is exciting! But we don't disappear after that. We monitor how things are going, fix any issues that come up, and help you make improvements based on how real users interact with your product. We're here for the long haul.

"Your app is live! Let's watch how users respond and keep making it better."

Technology We Use

For those interested in the technical details—here's what powers our solutions

💎

Ruby on Rails

Our foundation for building robust, scalable web applications. Battle-tested by GitHub, Shopify, and Airbnb. Includes everything needed out of the box: database, authentication, background jobs, and more.

  • Rapid development, faster time to market
  • Built-in security features
  • Scales from MVP to millions of users

Hotwire

Modern, fast web apps with minimal JavaScript. Combines Turbo (for navigation and real-time updates) and Stimulus (for interactivity). Get the speed of single-page apps without the complexity.

  • Instant-feeling pages, no page reloads
  • 90% less JavaScript than React/Vue
  • Real-time updates without complexity
📱

Hotwire Native

Native iOS and Android apps that share your web codebase. True native features (push notifications, camera, offline storage) combined with the speed of web development. Proven by Basecamp and Hey.

  • One codebase for web, iOS, and Android
  • Native navigation and device features
  • Update instantly without app store delays
🎨

Tailwind CSS

Modern CSS framework for fast, beautiful user interfaces. Utility-first approach means consistent designs, smaller files, and rapid development. Fully responsive and works great on every device.

  • Consistent, professional designs
  • Responsive by default
  • Fast loading with optimized CSS

Why This Stack Works

These technologies are designed to work together seamlessly. Rails handles the backend, Hotwire makes the frontend dynamic, Hotwire Native extends to mobile, and Tailwind makes everything beautiful. One cohesive stack means faster development, fewer bugs, and easier maintenance.
