01 · What we do
Design and engineering, same hands.
Most shops give you one or the other. A designer who cannot ship, or a developer whose work looks like a spreadsheet. We do both, which is why the result holds together.
01
Designed around what you actually do, not a layout borrowed from a dentist. Fast, accessible, and built for the phone, which is where your visitors already are.
Websites
02
Dashboards, registration and booking flows, internal tools, data pipelines. Real software with accounts, permissions and a database behind it.
Web applications
03
Multiplayer state, live feeds, anything where several people need to see the same thing at the same instant and the server has to be the one telling the truth.
Real-time systems
04
Business cards, ID cards, brochures and signage drawn from the same system as the site, so you look like one organization everywhere you appear.
Print and identity
02 · Built and shipped
The proof is live.
Client · 2026 · Website and print
Ben Calf Robe Society
A complete website for an Indigenous nonprofit in Edmonton, replacing a builder template. Eleven pages, a content system staff maintain without touching code, an on-site assistant, and a matching print kit.
Formation · eleven pages, one system
Product · 2026 · Real-time
Real-time platform
A browser platform with server-authoritative state, verifiable fairness, live chat and persistent accounts. Every outcome is decided and validated on the server, so nothing can be altered from a player's browser.
Formation · shared state in orbit
In-house · 2026 · Data
Sentinel
A live situational-awareness wall pulling public open data on earthquakes, weather, air quality, aurora activity and satellite position into a single screen. One file, no build step, no tracking.
Formation · one planet of public feeds
03 · Process
Four steps, no surprises.
Every project is quoted as a flat fee against a written scope. You know the number before we start, and it does not move unless you ask for something new.
Understand
We learn what your organization actually does and who needs to find you. Usually a conversation and a look at what you have now.
Design
You see real layouts with your own content in them, not a stock template with grey boxes. We revise until it is right.
Build
We write it, test it on real devices, and set up hosting that costs you nothing to run.
Hand over
You get the files, the accounts and plain-language instructions written for whoever inherits the job.
04 · Nonprofits
Where we have done the most work.
A builder subscription looks cheap at thirty dollars a month. Over five years that is eighteen hundred dollars for a site you never owned, cannot move, and still had to fight with every time your programs changed.
- You own the files. If you stop working with us, nothing switches off.
- Hosting is free. Static sites run at no cost on the infrastructure we set up.
- Your staff update it. Programs, news and events live in plain text files anyone can edit.
- Grant friendly. Flat fee against a clear scope, so it fits a capacity-building budget line.
05 · Connect the points
Tell us what you are trying to build.
If you have a site that is out of date or hard to change, send the link and we will tell you honestly what we would fix. If it does not exist yet, describe it and we will tell you what it would take. No charge for either conversation.
