Questions from Sacramento
Do you work with mid-size companies, or only small businesses?
Both. Our local web design serves small businesses, and our custom software work is built for growing and mid-size companies with real systems, real users, and requirements around security and reliability.
How do engagements usually start?
Most start with a short, paid discovery phase: we learn the problem, look at your existing systems, and come back with a written scope, architecture, and a fixed quote. You can take that plan anywhere, but most clients have us build it.
Can you work alongside our in-house IT or development team?
Yes. We can own a project end to end, or work inside your repositories and processes alongside your team, with code, documentation, and handoff your people can maintain.
Who owns the code?
You do, from day one. The code lives in a repository your company controls, along with the documentation.
