Start a project

You will be talking to the person who writes the code, not a salesperson passing notes. Tell us what you are building and you will get a straight answer about whether we are the right fit, what it would take, and roughly what it costs.

What to put in the first email

None of this has to be polished. A few lines against each point is enough to give you a real answer instead of a discovery call that tells you nothing.

  • What you want built. Plain language is fine. "Customers should be able to book and pay online" beats a feature list.
  • Who it is for. Homeowners, contractors, patients, your own staff. It changes almost every technical decision.
  • When you need it live. If there is a real date driving it, say so. If there is not, say that too.
  • The budget range you are working with. This is the one people leave out, and it is the one that saves you the most time. It is not a negotiation tactic here - it decides whether the answer is "yes, here is the plan" or "no, and here is who you should talk to instead."
  • Anything that already exists. A current site, a half-finished app, designs, a domain, an App Store listing.

What happens next

Same or next dayA reply from the developer, not an auto-responder. If it is not a fit, you will be told directly rather than strung along.
Before any codePlain-language deliverables, fixed pricing, and a hard launch date, written down and signed off.
During the buildDaily deploys on preview URLs. You review the real thing live and comment on it.
At launchApex DNS cutover, SSL, sitemap submission, Search Console and analytics wired, real-device testing.
After launchOptional monthly retainer for SEO, security patches, analytics, and new features.

What we build

If you are not sure which of these fits, say what your business does and we will tell you.

Also: Stripe payment integration, Twilio and email messaging, AI features, and technical SEO. The full list is on the studio homepage.

Where we are

Based in Virginia, in the Washington DC metro area, and working with clients anywhere in the United States. Most projects run entirely over email and preview links, so location has never been the constraint.

One developer. One inbox.

No account managers, no handoffs, nothing quietly sent offshore. The person who answers your email is the person who writes the code.
