Websites, stores and apps · Built in 14 days

Custom app development in fourteen days. Not a prototype.

Agencies quote you eight to twenty weeks and fifty thousand dollars, then hand back an MVP you still cannot ship. We build the finished thing — real code, your own accounts, live payments, both app stores — and we do it in fourteen days. Half up front, half when you approve it.

US-based team in Enfield, Connecticut

A live video call, then you sign, then we start

You own the code and every account

Thirty seconds

What actually changes.

Every “after” in this is real, shipped software — not a mockup and not a stock template. The portal section is a recording of the live product. Sound on.

What we build

Four tiers. Prices published.

Websites

$750

Delivered in 7 days

As many pages as the business actually needs, a CMS so you can post without calling us, working forms and page-by-page SEO. Video, animation, custom graphics — if you want it in there, it goes in. Built in your own account, not rented from ours.

Online stores

$1,450

7 days · 50 products included

A Shopify store on your own account. Coded theme sections and animation rather than a stock template, collections and product pages, cart and checkout, shipping zones and tax rules, payments connected, and SEO written page by page. Your first fifty products go in as part of the build — entered properly, with images, variants and SKUs, not dumped from a spreadsheet.

Web app, CRM or portal

$4,500

14 days · Stripe included

The website, plus software behind it that your team or your partners log into. Real accounts and permissions, a proper database, and dashboards built around the numbers you actually care about — leads, installs, commissions, whatever the business runs on. Stripe is wired in and your entire pricing model built out in it, included in this figure rather than quoted at you later.

Web, iOS and Android

$8,500

14 days · all payments included

The web version and both mobile apps from one codebase. Accounts, backend, push notifications, offline handling, and real native builds submitted to Apple and Google under your own developer accounts. Stripe on the web, RevenueCat for in-app purchases, every product and price built out in both store consoles, and both submissions — all of it inside the $8,500. You still pay Apple $99 a year and Google $25 once, because an app on somebody else's account is not really yours.

These are the published prices for the scope we agree on the call. Taking payments is already inside them — Stripe on the web app and app tiers, RevenueCat and both store submissions on the app tier. A price can move if the build needs paid third-party licensing, or if you add enhancements beyond what we scoped. If that happens you get the new number in writing before any of that work starts, never after.

Shipped work, not mockups

Five live products, still running in production

Not mockups and not concepts — shipped software with real users, real payments and real support email behind it. Apps in both stores, portals with accounts and permissions, and stores taking live orders.

Native app · iOS and Android

Free and Forward

A reentry app in both stores. Accounts and auth, a 27-step checklist, calendar with push reminders for court dates and check-ins, document vault, resume builder with PDF export, a live job board fed by a licensed national feed, AI features metered by credits, Stripe on the web and in-app purchases on mobile, and a full Spanish translation of the entire product.

This is the one to look at if you are wondering what "not an MVP" means.

CRM and partner portal

Cross Brand Media

An advertiser and affiliate portal on its own database. Partner accounts with role-based access, offer and commission tracking down to sub-affiliate level, install and conversion attribution, server-side functions doing the work the browser should not, and lead capture from the marketing site landing straight in the CRM.

If you need partners, reps or franchisees logging into something, this is the shape of it.

A live Shopify store selling automatic laminating systems. Twenty-nine products across four machine lines — the machines themselves from $2,995 to $19,900, the genuine film that fits each one by width, thickness and finish, and the accessories. Coded theme sections and animation instead of a stock template, collections structured so a buyer lands on the right machine, and SEO written page by page.

What it costs to keep running

You pay the vendors directly. We never touch it.

Every account is opened in your name, on your card. We do not resell hosting, we do not mark up infrastructure, and we do not hold your product hostage on our accounts. Here is roughly what a real one costs to run each month.

A marketing site

$17–27

per month, paid by you

A hosting plan and a domain. That is genuinely all a site needs.

A web app or portal

$72–98

per month, paid by you

Hosting, database, background jobs, transactional email, error monitoring.

A full mobile app

$99–136

per month, paid by you · includes Apple's $99 a year · plus $25 once to Google, also paid by you

All of the above, plus build infrastructure and the Apple Developer Program.

Search

SEO is coded in. It is not instant.

Every site and every app we build ships with the technical search work already done, page by page. What nobody can sell you is speed — Google decides that, and it takes months.

What we code in

Semantic markup with one H1 per page. Meta titles and descriptions written page by page, not generated from a template. Open Graph and Twitter cards so links look right when they are shared. JSON-LD structured data, canonical URLs, a sitemap, robots directives, image alt text, and pages fast enough to pass Core Web Vitals. Apps get the same treatment on every public route.

Why it takes about six months

Google has to find the site, crawl it, index it, and then watch it long enough to decide it is worth trusting. For most businesses that is roughly six months before the pages really populate, and longer in a crowded market. Nothing about paying more shortens it, and the clock only starts once the site is actually live.

What we will not promise

We do not sell rankings, because nobody can deliver them. Anyone guaranteeing page one in thirty days is either buying ads and calling it SEO, or ranking you for phrases nobody types. Do not get sold on that. What we guarantee is that the foundation is built correctly, so when the months pass the site is in a position to rank instead of quietly failing to.

How the fourteen days go

Fast because the scope is fixed, not because we cut corners

Most agency timelines are not development time. They are waiting time — for a discovery workshop, for a design committee, for a sprint to start. We take that out and keep the building.

Days 1–2

Scope locked in writing

Every screen and every rule, written down and signed off. This is the document the price is attached to, and it is the reason the fourteen days holds. Anything added after this is quoted before it is built.

Days 3–5

Design and data model

You see the real screens, not a moodboard. The database is designed at the same time, because the two decide each other.

Days 6–12

Build, with builds you can open

You get a working version on your own phone from about day six, and it gets better daily. No four-week silence ending in a reveal.

Days 13–14

Revisions, handover, submission

Two rounds of revisions are already in the price. Then the code, the accounts and the store submission are handed to you.

The fourteen days is to a finished, approved build. App Store review is Apple's clock, not ours — usually a day or two, occasionally longer, and no honest developer will promise you a review date.

Terms, in one paragraph

Half up front. Half when you approve it.

50% deposit to start

After the call you decide what you want, we write the scope, and you sign it. We then invoice the deposit through Stripe. That is the day the fourteen days starts counting, not the day you first emailed us. Once we begin building, the deposit is non-refundable.

50% on approval, then release

Not on delivery — on approval. You look at the finished thing, you run it, and you tell us it matches what we agreed. The balance is invoiced through Stripe at that point. Everything is built in your own accounts the whole way, so you can watch it happen; the source repository is handed over once the balance clears.

Two revision rounds included

Inside the build window, at no extra cost. Changes of mind about things already built and signed off are new scope, and we will quote them before doing them.

After approval

Edits are $125 an hour, or $1,000 for a ten-hour block. Care plans start at $149 a month. Nothing is compulsory and you can walk away owning everything.

Tell us what you want built.

Questions first: use the contact form and we answer by email at no cost. When you want the exact number, the consultation is thirty minutes on video for $49 — and that $49 is credited against your build price when you go ahead.
