Start a project

Built with you, kept running.

A website, an app, or a platform, taken from an idea to launch, then looked after for as long as you run it. Strategy, design, engineering, and operations from one small, senior Seattle team.

01

Strategy. A scope you can plan a year around.

Some people arrive with a sketch, some with a CMS that is ten years old. We work out what the thing has to do for the people using it, which systems it has to talk to, and what to build first.

KUOW: one API connecting the website, listener apps, donation platform, and newsroom CMS.

  • Discovery
  • Product scope
  • Platform planning
  • Integration planning
02

Platform. Something real in people’s hands.

Design and build: the website, the iOS and Android apps, the CMS, the donation platform. For a study team, an app shaped to the protocol on a HIPAA-compliant foundation we have hardened for a decade.

Quitbot, iCanQuit, and Quit Quest: study apps on one analytics and participant-tracking platform.

  • Product design
  • Web and mobile development
  • CMS and integrations
  • Testing and launch
03

Operations and growth. The years after launch, looked after.

A pledge drive, a study, or a semester depends on the platform staying up. We keep it current, keep it running, and keep building on it as your work changes, which is how most of our client relationships became a decade long.

Cook For Your Life: a recipe and guidance site grown into a platform for nutrition studies, supported since 2019.

  • Maintenance and updates
  • New features
  • Content operations
  • Analytics and reporting

Three ways this usually goes.

Most people arrive with a website or an app in mind. That is the right place to start. Tell us what it is and we will tell you which of these it wants to be.

Build it with us.

You have a website or an app to make. We scope it with you in a short discovery, then the same senior designers and engineers carry it through design, build and launch.

A defined product, a date, and a team that needs it to go well.

Nature Passport for IslandWood: brand, app and CMS.

Keep it running.

The platform is live and has to stay that way. We keep it up, keep it current and keep building on it, which is how most of our client relationships became a decade long.

A pledge drive, a study, or a semester that depends on it.

Pagliacci: a website and two apps, supported for years.

Start with one thing.

You bring one protocol, one program or one first round of users. Fixed scope and a fixed date, on foundations we have already hardened.

A grant, a pilot, or a first version.

10+ study apps on one platform.

You might run a station, a study, a program, or a product.

A donation platform, a study app, a curriculum, a consumer product. We have built each of those for someone, and we would like to build the next one with you.

You do not need a finished specification. Bring the idea, the people it is for, and any dates or constraints you already know.

Bring the idea. We will bring the rest.

Tell us what you are trying to do, and who for. The first call needs no prep, and you will get a straight answer about whether we are the right team.
