Built working.
Handed off clean.
Custom software and websites — open source or from scratch — delivered functional, documented, and yours. We’d rather build something real with a few partners than churn out half-finished features for many.
Three ways we ship.
Custom software
Web apps, internal tools, mobile, the AI layer behind them. Built for your exact use case, delivered working — not a slide deck of what it could become.
Websites with intent
Sites that load fast, read well, and are built to be found by search and cited by AI answer engines. Brand, copy, and structure together — not a template with your logo dropped in.
Hosting & care
Once it’s live we can keep it healthy — edge hosting, security patches, SEO upkeep, and the small edits that pile up. Or hand you the keys to run it yourself.
No queues.
No middlemen.
You talk to the person writing your code. We treat your platform like our own — clean, fast, and secure — and we’d rather under-promise and ship than dress up a demo. When it’s done, it actually works, and you have the source to prove it.
A marine platform managing vessels as living digital twins — on the water and in use.
An estimating and blueprinting assistant for a structural-metalwork shop.
Describe a part, get manufacturable CAD — STEP, DXF, STL.
The restoration campaign and heritage site for a 1977 Bruce Farr racing yacht.
Do you build from scratch or use open source?
Both — whichever gets you a better result faster. If a solid open-source project already does most of what you need, we build on it instead of reinventing it. If nothing fits, we build it from the ground up. Either way, you own the source.
Who actually does the work?
You work directly with the person building your software. No ticket queue, no account manager relaying messages, no offshore hand-off you never see. It’s a small collective, so you’re always talking to someone who knows your project.
What happens after launch?
You can take the keys and run it yourself — everything is documented and the source is yours. Or we can host it and keep it cared for: updates, security patches, SEO, and small changes as you need them. Your call.
What kinds of things have you built?
Live marine software (HarbourMesh), an estimating assistant for a welding shop (Ironclad, with HEWS), text-to-CAD tooling (FORMA), campaign and brand sites, and a growing shelf of our own apps. Web, mobile, AI, and the plumbing behind them.
Will my site be fast and findable?
Yes. We build on edge hosting so pages load quickly anywhere, and we wire in the structured data and metadata that modern search — and AI answer engines — read to understand and cite your site.
