Services

What we build.

Six kinds of work, one team. Most projects combine several of them, and every one is built on standard platforms, documented, and yours to keep.

Custom Application Development

Internal tools, customer-facing platforms, and multi-tenant SaaS products. From business-process automation to applications serving thousands of users, we build systems that do real work.

Most of what we build is software an organization runs on every day: the system a team logs into each morning, the portal customers use to get something done, the product a company sells. Some of it has been in daily use for ten years.

We often start from something that already exists, like a spreadsheet that has outgrown itself or an aging application nobody wants to touch. We can rebuild around the data you already have, so moving to the new system doesn’t mean starting over.

What this looks like

  • Internal tools that replace spreadsheets and email chains
  • Customer, partner and dealer portals
  • Multi-tenant SaaS products
  • Real-time applications for operations and events
  • Rebuilds of aging applications, keeping the existing data
  • Single sign-on with your existing directory

Applied AI

AI woven into your business where it earns its place: image identification and review, workflow automation, form and response logic, and conversational interfaces backed by your own data. Practical, not trendy.

The hard part of AI isn’t getting a model to say something impressive once. It’s wiring it into a real business process so it’s accurate, reliable, and saves someone time every day. That’s the work we do.

We’ve built conversational systems since the Dialogflow era, and we work across the major models, choosing by your problem, your data and your budget. Our rule: AI should take tedious, error-prone work off your people’s plates, not replace them. And when a well-built form or a clean integration would do the job better, we’ll say so.

What this looks like

  • Image identification and review
  • Workflow automation for repetitive, manual steps
  • Form and response logic that adapts to what people enter
  • Assistants that answer from your own content
  • Connecting AI to your systems with the Model Context Protocol

Modern CMS Implementation

Block-based WordPress and Craft CMS builds your team can actually maintain. Flexible content, clean editing, no rigid templates, and no dependence on us to change a headline.

A CMS should let your team publish without filing a ticket. We build with reusable blocks your editors assemble into pages, so new content doesn’t need a developer and the site still looks right when it’s done.

We pick the platform for the job. WordPress fits most teams and has the biggest ecosystem. Craft suits structured content and custom editorial workflows. When a fast front end needs content from a CMS, we set it up headless. Either way it’s a standard platform, and you can take it to someone else if you ever want to.

What this looks like

  • Custom block themes built around your content
  • Sites the owner can edit without calling us
  • Searchable resource libraries and directories
  • Headless CMS behind a fast front end
  • Migrations off platforms that aren’t working

Mobile Applications

Cross-platform apps built as Progressive Web Apps and hybrid solutions, with native development when performance demands it. Your product, everywhere your users are.

Most products don’t need two separate native apps. A Progressive Web App installs from the browser and runs on every device from one codebase. When an app store listing or device features matter, we wrap the same code as a hybrid app.

We go fully native when performance demands it, and we’ll tell you up front which of these your product actually needs.

What this looks like

  • Progressive Web Apps that install from the browser
  • Hybrid apps for the App Store and Google Play
  • Event check-in and lead-capture apps

E-commerce

New stores, migrations, and customizations on WooCommerce, Shopify, and Craft Commerce. Including helping you off platforms that aren’t serving you.

We build stores on platforms with real ecosystems behind them, so you’re not paying us for every change. That covers new builds, customizations for the way you actually sell, and moves from one platform to another.

Some stores need more than a cart: separate buying paths for different kinds of customers, or membership tiers billed as subscriptions. We build those on the same standard platforms rather than off to the side.

What this looks like

  • New stores on standard platforms
  • Migrations between platforms
  • Separate purchasing paths for business or government buyers
  • Subscriptions and membership tiers

Integrations & APIs

The glue that connects your systems, getting data where it needs to go, reliably, between the tools your business already depends on.

Most organizations already run on a handful of systems that don’t talk to each other. We connect them so data moves on its own and nobody is retyping it from one screen into another.

That ranges from sending web leads into your CRM to building a custom API your partners connect to.

What this looks like

  • Forms and landing pages that feed your CRM
  • Single sign-on with LDAP and Active Directory
  • Syncing data between business systems
  • Custom APIs for partners and apps
  • Reporting and dashboards from data you already have

Where to start

Not sure which you need?

Most projects use more than one of these. A customer portal might need a connection to your CRM and a CMS for the content around it. Tell us the problem you’re trying to solve and we’ll work out the pieces with you.

If it turns out we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you that too.
