Stop renting. Start owning.
Most small businesses pay $400 or more every month for tools they do not control, that do not talk to each other, and that they cannot change. We are not going to tell you to throw out Shopify. We connect what works, replace what does not earn its subscription, and build the piece nobody sells you. You pay once. You own it.
What you're paying now
What we build you
One-time investment.
No monthly tool subscriptions. Cloud infrastructure costs scale with your usage, not a vendor's price list.
The subscription math
That $385/mo stack costs $23,100 over five years — and on day one of year six you still own nothing. A custom build from $4,000 is paid for before the first year is out, and it is yours forever.
One honest caveat: your tools run on modern cloud infrastructure. Many clients start at little or no monthly cost, but as your volume grows — more customers, more emails, more data — expect a modest usage-based bill. It scales with your success, not with a vendor's price list, and we tell you exactly what to expect before we build.
$23,100 — and you own nothing
$4,000 + light infrastructure — yours
Break-even ~ month 11
D'SKIN runs their entire business — CRM, email campaigns, analytics, inventory, Instagram — from one custom dashboard. No Mailchimp. No HubSpot. No Shopify.
How it works
Phase 01
Discovery
We talk about your business, your goals, and what you actually need, in the words you already use for your own work.
Phase 02
Proposal
You get a fixed-price quote with a clear scope, a timeline and what you end up owning, agreed before anything is built.
Phase 03
Build
We build it with regular check-ins so you see progress and can give feedback along the way.
Phase 04
Launch & Support
We deploy, test everything, and stick around for maintenance and support after launch.

How this works, and what you end up owning for custom projects
One developer, start to finish
You work directly with the person building it. Building for the web since 2009, seventeen years of it, and one conversation from the first call to the last deploy.
You get a system, not a deliverable
I stay after launch. Once it is live, ongoing care runs through Operate at $799 a month, and the person maintaining it is the one who wrote it.
Plain English, always
I explain what I am building in the words you already use for your own business, and the estimate reads the same way.
Local and available
Based in New Fairfield, CT, working with businesses across Fairfield County and the rest of Connecticut. When something needs talking through, I can meet you at your office.
Every project is different. Every one is scoped before it is priced.
Most fixed-scope projects land between $4,000 and $12,000, and larger builds go up from there. If you need ongoing capacity rather than a single project, that is an embedded retainer at $2,500 a month for 20 to 25 hours. Either way you get a fixed quote before any work begins, and the invoice matches it. Once what we built is live, ongoing care for it runs through Operate at $799 a month for 8 dedicated hours, our answer for a system your business runs on day to day without needing a full-time retainer.

Just need a website?
