Capabilities

Enterprise foundations, startup speed

App tier is for software that handles real users, real data, and real business logic — scoped and delivered with the same written SOW discipline as our other tiers.

🔐

Authentication & RBAC

Secure login, password reset, role-based permissions — admin, manager, client, or custom roles scoped to your org.

🗄️

Database & APIs

Postgres or Supabase with REST or serverless API routes. Schema design, migrations, and data integrity built in.

⚙️

Admin panels

Internal dashboards for your team — manage users, records, workflows, and reporting without touching code.

🔗

Third-party integrations

Stripe billing, HubSpot CRM, Resend email, webhooks, and custom API connections — each scoped in the SOW.

📋

Client portals

Branded spaces where your customers view projects, approve quotes, upload files, or track status.

📊

Reporting & exports

Dashboards, CSV exports, and audit trails for operations teams that need visibility without a BI tool.

Is App right for you?

Best for

Internal ops tools, client portals, quote-to-project workflows, membership platforms, booking systems, and SaaS MVPs that need auth and persistent data from day one.

Live proof

Our own client and team portals run on this stack — quotes, projects, notifications, and role-based access in production.

Not a fit

Marketing-only sites without login. See Site tier. Mobile-native apps are out of scope unless paired with a responsive web app.

Structured delivery with staging environments, sprint reviews, and documented handoff.
