Web apps and sites that ship — not slide decks.
Marketing sites, dashboards, portals, and custom applications. You work directly with JD Savage through Define · Design · Deploy — clear scope, modern stacks, honest tiers.
What we build
Product shapes, not buzzwords
Pick the shape that matches your problem. We scope the rest together.
Marketing & business sites
Clear story, service pages, contact/lead capture, mobile-first — built to convert, not just look pretty.
Dashboards & internal tools
Replace spreadsheet chaos with login, lists, filters, and the one workflow your team runs every day.
Client portals
Secure access for customers or partners — status, documents, requests — without a full enterprise suite.
Full custom web apps
Real product logic, roles, integrations, and data. Scoped so v1 is usable, not endless.
Rebuilds & modernizations
Refresh a dated site or app on a modern stack without throwing away what already works.
Ops & workflow apps
Small systems that connect forms, data, and notifications so work moves without extra headcount.
How we work
Define · Design · Deploy
The first deliverable is a focused product you can use — not a 40-page design system you never ship.
D
Define
Who uses it, the core flow, must-haves vs later. We pin success criteria before writing code.
D
Design
Architecture and UI for real use — stack fit, auth, data, and screens that match the job.
D
Deploy
Production handoff: live app, credentials, basics of how to run it, and a clear next step.
Stack & approach
Fit the stack to the job — not the other way around
We match your stack when it matters. We don't lock you to one vendor for its own sake.
Front end
React, Angular, modern TypeScript/JavaScript
APIs & services
.NET, Java, Python, FastAPI, Node as needed
Data & auth
Postgres, Supabase, or your existing stack
Hosting
Vercel, cloud VMs, or your preferred host
Pricing tiers
Honest bands, fixed after discovery
Exact quotes depend on scope. Integrations, roles, and compliance move the number — we say so up front.

$3,000–$12,000
about 2–6 weeks
5–15 pages, brand polish, forms, SEO basics, lead capture

about 4–12 weeks

scoped after discovery
Roles, real business logic, multiple integrations, product-grade v1
Roles, integrations, real business logic — fixed after a short discovery.

Why hire D3

- Clear definition of done. Fixed sense of what ships before the invoice grows.
- Craft you can check. This site and the live AI agent are product, not pitchware.
FAQ
Common questions
- How long does a simple app take?
- Marketing sites often land in about 2–6 weeks. Simple apps / internal tools are typically about 4–12 weeks. Full apps are fixed after discovery.
- Do you work with our existing stack?
- Yes when it matters. We don't force a single vendor. If you already have APIs, auth, or a preferred front end, we design around that.
- Fixed price or hourly?
- Focused scopes are usually fixed-price after discovery. Uncertain or advisory work can be fixed discovery or hourly — never a vague open tab.
- Do you maintain after launch?
- Yes as a scoped follow-on (fixes, small features, hosting help). Maintenance is not unlimited support unless we agree a retainer.
- Can you add an AI agent later?
- Yes. Many projects start with a solid site or app, then add a website front-desk agent. See the AI Agents page for that product.
- What's the first step?
- Send a short note on what you're building (or use the site chat). I'll reply with a sensible next step — usually a tight discovery, not a hard sell.
