Why Dallas founders and SMBs work with us

A process that has shipped 200+ products

Our 5D Process moves you from idea to launch in clear phases, so you always know what comes next and what it costs.

Keep your equity

You get senior product, design and engineering help without handing a technical cofounder a piece of your company.

Your timezone, your language

US-based business analysts lead the work, with nearshore Latin American developers who share your working hours.

A third of U.S. team cost

Nearshore staff augmentation gives you senior talent at roughly a third of what a U.S. team costs.

AI built in where it helps

Generative AI, custom GPTs, conversational assistants and workflow automation, added when they add real value.

We stay after launch

AWS hosting, 24/7 server monitoring, backups, feature updates and app store maintenance keep your product healthy.

What custom software development looks like with us

We are an Arizona-based software product development firm, founded in 2008, that works with clients across the United States, including Dallas. Discovery sessions, design reviews and stand-ups all happen remotely, so you get a senior team without hiring one in-house.

Every build follows the same field-tested 5D Process. You see the plan, the designs and the working software as they come together, and you own the result.

  • D1 Discovery (2-4 weeks): goals, key features, integrations, business model, tech stack, budget and schedule
  • D2 Definition and UX Design (4-6 weeks): specs, look and feel, back end architecture and a clickable prototype
  • D3 Development (2-3 months): agile builds of web and mobile apps by senior developers and QA testers
  • D4 Deployment (1 month): cloud launch, AWS setup, 24/7 server monitoring and disaster recovery planning
  • D5 Support and Maintenance: monthly retainers starting at $625 for up to 5 hours, with larger team packages available
  • Support and takeover of apps built by other developers, including code review and refactoring
  • AI services: generative AI, custom GPTs, conversational assistants, RPA automation and AI consulting
  • Marketing and business help: market validation, competitive analysis, branding, positioning and go-to-market planning

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with companies in Dallas?

Yes. We are headquartered in Arizona and serve clients across the United States. Work runs remotely, with US-based business analysts and nearshore developers who share your working hours.

How is pricing set for a custom build?

Pricing depends on scope. Our D1 Discovery phase identifies your goals, features and integrations, then produces a budget, plan and schedule before development starts. Ongoing support retainers start at $625 per month for up to 5 hours.

How long does a project take?

Each phase has a typical duration: Discovery 2-4 weeks, Definition and UX Design 4-6 weeks, Development 2-3 months, and Deployment about 1 month. Your Discovery output will give exact timing for your project.

Can you take over an app another developer built?

Yes. We support apps built by our own team or by other developers, integrating with your existing codebase and handling the transition, including code reviews and refactoring.

Do I have to give up equity?

No. We are a development partner, not a technical cofounder. You keep ownership of your company and your software.

Can you add developers to my existing team?

Yes. Our nearshore staff augmentation provides Latin American developers, designers, testers and project managers who work under your management at a third of the cost of U.S. teams.
