What to Expect When Working with a Small Dev Team

No Middlemen

When you work with a big software company, you talk to a sales person, who talks to a project manager, who talks to a developer. By the time your request reaches the person actually building your software, it's been through 3 games of telephone.

With us, you talk directly to the people writing the code. That's not because we can't afford project managers — it's because we think the work is better when the builder understands the problem firsthand.

What This Means in Practice

Faster Communication

Got a question at 3 PM? You'll get an answer from the person who actually knows, not a "let me check with the team and get back to you" response.

Better Solutions

When the developer understands your business problem (not just a ticket description), they often find simpler solutions. "Oh, you don't need a whole new module — we can just add a filter to the existing dashboard."

Honest Timelines

We don't have a sales team that promises "2 weeks" to close the deal, only for the dev team to realize it's actually 6 weeks. The person giving you the estimate is the person doing the work.

The Tradeoffs

We believe in being honest, so here's what you give up with a small team:

**Limited capacity.** We can only take on a few projects at a time. If we're full, we'll tell you upfront and give you a realistic start date.

**No 24/7 support hotline.** We're not a call center. But we do respond to messages during business hours and we're pretty quick about it.

**Less corporate polish.** Our proposals don't have 40 pages of filler. You get a clear scope, a price, and a timeline. That's it.

What You Gain

Is a Small Team Right for You?

If you need a team of 50 developers for a massive enterprise rewrite, we're probably not the right fit. But if you need a focused team to build a solid application, automate your workflows, or modernize your internal tools — this is exactly what we do well.
