You describe the problem. We design the system.

A website is where your business shows up. A system is how it makes money. Solutions is where I build that system, CRMs, portals, workflows, dashboards, automations, designed and coded for the specific way your business actually works. Not another SaaS subscription you'll outgrow. You own the code, own the data, own the roadmap.

// Solutions FAQ

Questions I get on every scoping call.

A dev shop bills you for hours and hands off to whoever's free that sprint. An agency wraps that in account managers and status calls. Solutions is a founder-led studio: I design the system, build it, and I'm still on the other end of the email a year later when you need it changed. I've spent the better part of a decade shipping full-stack projects; I've also run the business side of them, which means I ask about the workflow before I ask about the framework. You get less bureaucracy, faster shipping, and a system that fits your business instead of your business bending to fit a template.

Rule of thumb: if you can describe the system in one sentence and it needs one main workflow (auth + one dashboard + a handful of screens), it's an MVP. If you need multiple user roles, integrations with 3+ external services, custom pricing tiers, or a public marketing site AND a product, it's a Full build. The 60-min scoping session ends with a clear recommendation, no arm-twisting either direction. If you're between the two, we'll usually ship the MVP first, learn what real users actually need, then decide whether Phase 2 is worth the additional spend.

Honest answer: if it has a documented REST, GraphQL, or webhook API, I can integrate with it, but there's a scope ceiling I'll be upfront about. Straightforward integrations (Stripe, Airtable, Notion, Slack, Twilio, SendGrid, Mailchimp, Google Workspace individual APIs, standard HubSpot / QuickBooks CRUD, Zapier as a glue layer) are day-of-project work and I've shipped them multiple times. Deeper enterprise work, heavy Salesforce customization (Apex, custom Lightning components, complex permission sets), ERP suites (SAP, NetSuite, Oracle), multi-region tax engines, or bespoke AI/ML pipelines, is quoted separately on a per-case basis, and if a domain specialist is genuinely a better fit I'll say so on the discovery call. What I won't do is take a project I know needs an in-house Salesforce team and pretend I can solo it. Better to scope it honestly upfront.

You do. All of it. From the moment the project fee is paid, you own the source code, the data model, the database contents, the custom workflows, and any documentation I wrote. Solutions builds are host-agnostic and infra-portable, if you ever want to move to a different cloud, hire an in-house dev team, or bring it under your own dev-ops, everything transfers cleanly. I keep zero back doors and zero "platform lock-in" clauses. The one exception is an unpaid balance: hosting can be suspended while an invoice is overdue, and handover follows settlement. Read §02 and §06 of the Master Terms if you want the legal version.

Every Solutions build is architected on scaleable primitives (React + FastAPI + Mongo or Postgres, cloud-native hosting, edge caching, containerized deploys), the same stack real SaaS companies run on. "Outgrowing" usually means one of three things: (1) more users → I scale the infra, no rewrite needed; (2) more features → I ship them via change orders or a Growth engagement; (3) fundamentally different business model → at that point you're rebuilding regardless of who built the first version, but you'll have a working system + real user data to inform Phase 2. I've had exactly zero clients hit a wall they couldn't grow through.

Every Solutions build ships with automated monitoring, error logging, and weekly encrypted backups baked in, so 90% of issues either fix themselves or are caught before you notice. For the remaining 10%: you pick a Solutions retainer at contract signing. Base ($249/mo) is keep-alive monitoring + patching. Retainer ($1,500 / $2,800 / $5,200 per month for 10 / 20 / 40 dev hours) adds actual build hours for features, iteration, and bug fixes with best-effort priority during US business hours. Formal 24/7 SLAs are available on request and scoped separately when the engagement needs one. No retainer at all is fine too: you get the code, and I'm available for one-off change orders billed at $150/hr.
