01

Build the whole product

From an idea or a spec to a live platform. We design and build every layer, and we hand you a product you own.

Integrations and automation

We connect the systems you already run, take the manual work out of the gaps between them, and build AI into your product where a wrong answer matters.

What you get
  • CRMs, payments and third-party APIs
  • Data imports that are checked, previewed before they go live and easy to undo
  • AI answers checked before anyone sees them, with a record of which model gave each one
  • A clear line between what AI suggests and what the system calculates
  • Automated workflows and notifications
How it runs

05

Rescue and rebuild

Inherited a platform that's hard to change? We take over systems another vendor built, keep everything your users rely on, and rebuild what needs it. That's how our work with Sharasign started.

  1. 01

    Review

    We study what's there, including the code your last team left behind.

  2. 02

    Keep

    Everything your users rely on keeps working.

  3. 03

    Rebuild

    We rebuild what needs rebuilding, without losing what matters.

06

How engagements work

Three shapes of engagement. Most start with a short, paid discovery.

The whole product

A scope and plan for each phase, with one team accountable from discovery to go-live.

Part of it

One clear piece of work, such as an integration, a rebuild or a mobile app, scoped and delivered on its own.

Your team, extended

Engineers and product leads inside your process, part time or full time, for as long as you need them.

07

How pricing works

You see the scope, timeline and cost in writing before the work begins. One phase at a time:

Paid discovery

Most engagements start with a short, paid discovery. It ends in a written scope, plan and price for the first phase, and the scope is yours to keep whether or not you build with us.

A fixed price per phase

Products and projects are priced one phase at a time, fixed before the phase starts, so you know the cost before the work begins.

Monthly for teams and support

Team extension and support after launch are billed monthly, per person or per product.

Changes

If the scope changes, we price the change and you approve it before we build it.

08

After launch

We don't hand over and disappear.

If we run it

Every product we run gets a support plan, set with you for each project and billed monthly per product.

  • We monitor what we host
  • We keep it patched and backed up
  • We fix what needs fixing
  • We build what comes next
If you run it

Tests are written with the code, and decisions and runbooks are documented, so whoever comes next can run it.

  • The code and the designs
  • The accounts and the data
  • The runbooks
09

Questions buyers ask us

How do you price a project?

We start with a short, paid discovery, then fix the price of each phase before it starts. Team extension and support are monthly. You see the scope, timeline and cost in writing before the work begins.

How soon can you start?

Discovery can start as soon as we've agreed on its scope. The plan it produces sets the dates for the build.

Where is your team, and which time zones do you cover?

We're headquartered in the US and work with clients worldwide. Your lead keeps a regular meeting time that fits your working day, and a shared channel covers everything in between.

Can you take over another vendor's code?

Yes. Sharasign started that way. We review what's there, keep what your users rely on and rebuild what needs it.

Who owns the code?

You do: the code, the designs, the accounts and the data. Ask for any of it at any time and we hand it over.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes, before discovery if you ask. We'll send ours or sign yours.
