Problem
What was breaking before the build.
Solution
What we designed and shipped.
A custom editorial platform with structured content types, role-based publish rights and a front end that reads published content — editors change copy without a ticket.
Outcome
What changed for the people running the system.
Editors publish on their own schedule; developers are in the loop for new content types, not for every heading change. The client owns the repository and hosting.
How we work
-
Scope before code
We write what is being built, what is excluded, integrations, dates and cost basis before the build starts. Changes get quoted before they get coded.
-
Talk to the people doing the work
You meet named engineers and designers. There is no account manager translating technical questions in both directions.
-
Working software every two weeks
Increments land on staging you can open and use. Progress you can click on beats progress in a status report.
-
You own everything
Repository, cloud account, domains and credentials stay yours. We work in your accounts wherever possible.
