Senior-led delivery
Every engagement is led by an engineer who ships, not a manager who reports on people who ship. The person in your first call is the person in your codebase.
Technology at AI Speed
Ship your software in weeks, not quarters.
A software consulting studio in Orlando. Fixed scope, fixed price, and most engagements live in four weeks — because we build on a platform we already own.

Services
Whatever it is, it starts with a written scope.
There are 12 of them, grouped by how you buy them rather than by technology. Most are a fixed price quoted against a specification you sign in week one. Two are monthly retainers. One is the short engagement that tells you which of the others you actually need.
Most engagements combine two or three of them — a build with an integration behind it, or a migration with a support retainer after. You get one scope, one schedule, one number and one point of contact, rather than three vendors and a coordination problem.
Every service has a page of its own: what it covers, the practice areas behind it, and what we have built with it before. Pricing is quoted against a written scope rather than published as a band, because a number before a specification is a guess.

We quote a fixed number against a written scope, not from a rate card. Each service page says what that scope usually looks like.
Capabilities
The depth is the whole argument.
A freelancer can build you a web application. What they cannot do is handle the payment reconciliation behind it, the per-location permissions it needs at your second site, the migration off the system it replaces, and the monitoring that tells you when it breaks at two in the morning.
All of it sits in house, across 6 disciplines. Most engagements draw on four or five at once, and you are quoted a single number for the outcome rather than a line item per speciality.

Each one has a page of its own: what it covers, the positions we hold on it, and what we have used it on.
The Sill platform
Every project starts at sixty per cent.
Most firms quote three months because they rebuild the same plumbing every time — logins, permissions, billing, admin screens. Work that has nothing to do with your business, billed to you anyway.
Sill is our delivery platform. It is the layer every Sillstack engagement is built on, and it is already in production — handling real users and real money on live projects, every day.
Your engagement adds the part that is actually yours. That is the entire mechanism behind the four-week quote, and there is no second one.

Sill · maintained continuously
We wrote every line of Sill and we maintain it. When we harden it on one project, that work lands in your build too — same engineers, same codebase, all year.
Our work
Work that shipped.
Systems we designed, shipped and still operate, with 12 reusable components behind them. Keeping software live is what makes the four-week quote honest — the estimate comes from having done it, not from hoping.
Each is written up as a case study: the problem, how it was built, and the part that was genuinely hard. One of them you can open in a browser right now.
Each has a page with the problem, how it was built, and the part that was actually hard to get right.
See all our workIndustries
The same problems, wearing different uniforms.
A restaurant group, a distributor and a property manager describe their situation in completely different words and then turn out to need the same four things built.
We work across 12 sectors. Each has a page saying what that industry actually needs and naming the system we proved it in, so you can judge how well it transfers rather than taking our word for it.
What we are actually good at
- Authority changes depending on which site somebody is standing in
- Stock in the system has to agree with stock on the shelf
- Money has to reconcile, daily, without a person doing it
- The software gets used somewhere with no signal
How to work with us
Three ways in.
Whether you need a week of thinking, a build with a date on it, or somebody on hand after launch. Each one differs in how long it runs, how it is billed, and how easily you can stop — which matters more at this stage than a number does.
Discovery sprint
One to two weeks
Fixed engagement
For when you know the problem but not the shape of the solution. You leave with a written spec and a fixed quote for the build — usable even if you build it elsewhere.
- Systems and access audit
- Written technical specification
- Fixed quote for the build
- Yours to keep either way
Most engagements
Build
Four weeks, typically
Fixed-price project
The main engagement. Fixed scope, fixed price, live at the end of it. You see working software every Friday, not a status report.
- Fixed scope and fixed price
- Weekly working demos
- Ships on the Sill platform
- Training and handover included
Retainer
Rolling, 30 days' notice
Monthly retainer
Ongoing work after launch, or search visibility that compounds month over month. Cancel when the numbers stop moving.
- Fixes, changes and monitoring
- SEO and GEO programmes
- Plain-language monthly reporting
- No long lock-in
We quote a fixed number against a written scope rather than from a rate card, and it does not move after you sign. Every service page says what that scope usually covers once you know which one you are looking at.
How it works
Four weeks, in order.
Average, not best case. Mobile runs four to six because app store review is outside anybody’s control, and genuinely larger projects get quoted as phases instead.

Week 1
Scope
We watch how the work happens today, get access to your systems, and write a specification you sign. Screens, rules, edge cases, and an explicit list of what is out of scope. No code is written this week.
Your time
Two or three hours: a walkthrough of your process, and reading the spec properly before signing it.
You end up with
A signed specification and a fixed price that does not move.
Week 2
Build
Core data model, authentication and the primary workflow. Because accounts, permissions and billing already exist on our platform, week two starts at the part that is actually yours.
Your time
Friday demo, about an hour. You click a real thing with your real data in it.
You end up with
Working software you can use, not a percentage.
Week 3
Build
Reporting, permissions, integrations and the edge cases that only surface once somebody has used it. This is the week where the things you did not think of get caught.
Your time
Second Friday demo, plus decisions on anything the first demo raised.
You end up with
Feature-complete against the spec.
Week 4
Ship
Deployment, monitoring, migration of your existing data, two recorded training sessions, and documentation written for people rather than engineers.
Your time
Training attendance, and a decision on who owns it internally.
You end up with
Live, plus the repository, documentation and 30 days of fixes.
Four weeks of our time, not yours. You are looking at roughly three hours a week. The most common cause of delay on these projects is not engineering — it is waiting for a decision, which is why we ask for one named person who can make them.
How we differ
Four trades, and what each one costs you.
Every firm says it is fast and senior and secure. Here is what we actually do differently, with the downside written next to it rather than left out.
The honest part
Every one of them costs you something.
Any firm can list four advantages. The useful information is what each advantage is paid for with, and that is the bottom line of every card beside this one.
Fixed price against a written scope
Hourly, estimated optimistically
Costs you — It needs a real week of scoping before anything gets built.
The engineer who scoped it builds it
Sold by one team, delivered by another
Costs you — We run fewer engagements at once, so there is sometimes a wait.
Built on a platform we already maintain
Plumbing rebuilt from scratch, billed to you
Costs you — It is our architecture. If you need a different one, we are the wrong firm.
An honest no when we are wrong for it
A proposal for whatever you asked for
Costs you — We turn down work, which is why the recommendation is worth something.
Technology
Nobody is technology agnostic.
Every firm claiming otherwise has a stack they reach for by default. Ours is TypeScript on the Sill platform. Here is exactly when we use yours instead, and when you should hire somebody else.
If
You have a team who knows your stack
Then
We work in yours
Django, Rails, .NET, Laravel, Go. If your engineers maintain it after we leave, their familiarity is worth more than any efficiency we would gain by moving you somewhere we prefer.
If
You are starting from nothing
Then
We use ours
TypeScript end to end on the Sill platform, because that is where sixty per cent of the build already exists. This is the case where our defaults save you real money.
If
You have a system that works but is unloved
Then
We extend rather than replace
A layer in front, new work against a clean interface, old system untouched. Replacing something that functions because it is unfashionable is how budgets disappear.
If
You want an architecture Sill does not support
Then
We are the wrong firm
A different language, a hosting arrangement we do not run, a design we think is a mistake. We would rather say that on the first call than take the work and manage the disappointment later.
Delivery model
Senior-led, start to finish.
Large firms run layered delivery because it is the only way to operate hundreds of engagements simultaneously. It works at that scale, and it costs the client context at every layer.
We operate a concentrated model instead: fewer engagements, each one owned end to end by the engineers delivering it. Decisions get made by people who understand the consequences.
Continuous ownership
One team carries your project from scope through to handover. Context accumulates instead of being rewritten every time the work changes hands.
Direct engineering access
You have the contact details of the people building your software. Questions get answered by whoever wrote the thing you're asking about.
Deliberate capacity
We take on a small number of engagements at a time and turn down work we're not the right fit for. It's the reason timelines hold.

Let’s scope it on one call.
Thirty minutes. You’ll leave with a number and a date, whether or not you end up working with us.
If it’s not a fit, we’ll say so on that call
