Web apps
Portals, booking tools, quoting systems, SaaS ideas. We design and build working web applications on the same terms as everything else we do. The spec is fixed, the price is fixed, and your users can log into a v1 in about four weeks.
We didn’t add this to the menu last week. CRTR web apps are in production right now. There’s a referral tracking system and an HR portal for a five-location Arkansas counseling practice, a shift time clock for care staff, and a custom CRM shaped around one team’s real pipeline. See the work →
If your customers or your team need to log in and do something, rather than just read pages, you’re looking at a web app. These are the ones we build most often.
Traditional app development burns most of its budget on coordination. Big teams, long meetings, and specs that drift eat the calendar before anyone builds anything. We keep the team small and senior, cut the v1 down to the workflow that actually matters, and go straight from approved design to working software. Cutting scope is where the speed comes from.
Most business apps fail at the screen, not the server. The features exist, but they sit behind menus nobody can figure out, so nobody adopts the thing. Every app project here includes product design. We work out the flows, the screens, and the words on the buttons, then test them against one question: will a busy person get this right the first time? It’s the same design attention our websites get, pointed at software.
Need automations, dashboards, or data plumbing behind the scenes instead of a product people log into? That’s custom systems. When a project needs both, we quote it as one spec with one price.

The base spec is a true tag price: $8,000 buys two core workflows, sign-in for your team or customers, an admin view, and hosting set up in your name. Need more, like extra workflows, integrations, or payments? Each addition gets its own line and price before work begins. Most projects land between $8,000 and $18,000, and you will have your exact number in writing before we start.
By scoping ruthlessly and building only what the spec says. Most app projects drown in feature debates. Ours start by cutting the v1 down to the two workflows that matter, shipping them, and letting real usage decide what phase two deserves.
Web apps are products your customers or team log into, like portals, booking tools, and SaaS ideas. Custom systems is the plumbing behind a business, things like automations, dashboards, and data pipelines. Plenty of projects need both. When they do, we quote them on one spec.
Completely. The code, the accounts, the data, and the documentation are yours, in your name, from day one. If we ever part ways, you hand the repo to any developer and nothing breaks.
Real apps need updates, small improvements, and someone watching for problems. We offer a flat-rate monthly care plan scoped with the project. It is optional, you can cancel it, and it never turns into a surprise invoice.
