Move from "Out-of-the-box"
to "Ours".
There’s an essential point of pivot for many organizations: the recognition that what might have worked in the past is insufficient for the future. An out-of-the-box solution expires with growing needs. As you refine your critical processes, components, and workflows, it becomes apparent that you have a distinct way of doing things. Custom Development caters to that by creating a proprietary solution to solve your unique and complex problems.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Every project has three routes we can take: prototype (for idea validation), balanced (for an effective product that works), and bells and whistles (for an industry-leading, market defining product). In general, Digital Product Development services take anywhere between 3-9 months.
We fill in the gaps based. Based on your strengths. Writing down the requirements, establishing UI/UX, and then assembling the right team to fill in the gaps.
You own the code in context to your website or application. We own the engineering. If you sell the company, the code goes with it.
Every client has full access to their documentation from the outset including release notes, database schemas, flow diagrams and API documentation so that your in-house development team can get up and running quickly. We also offer optional maintenance services on a monthly retainer. Regardless, our clients can call or email us anytime with questions.
Our minimum commitment is 2 resources for 6 weeks, or 12 asset-weeks. Billed at $3,750/resources/week for websites, and $4,250/resources/week for backend, native, or web apps. An “resource” in this case is a Developer, Designer, or Product Manager who spends a whole work-week on your project. Day-to-day manual QA and project coordination is included in these rates.
