Outside the boxes
Customer portals, internal tools, APIs, and integrations.
Some Tampa Bay small businesses need more than a marketing site: a customer portal, an internal tool, a backend an enterprise team would be proud of. We scope and quote those individually so you only pay for what you actually need. Past Custom work has run from a $400 Shopify theme tweak to backend builds well into five figures.
- Customer portals, member areas, dashboards
- Custom backends, typed APIs, third-party integrations
- Multi-location builds with location pages and heavy local SEO
- Logo design and brand identity, standalone or paired with a build
- Smaller scopes that would be overkill at Starter
From $400 for small scopes

Project shapes and starting ranges.
-
Customer portal
$5k to $15k
Login, role-based dashboards, billing, document storage.
-
Internal dashboard or admin tool
$4k to $12k
Your team's day-to-day software, built for the way you actually work.
-
Multi-location site with location pages
$4k to $10k
Distinct content per location, heavy local SEO, programmatic city pages.
-
Custom Shopify theme work

When off-the-shelf is the wrong tool but a full rebuild is overkill.
Custom work is genuinely scope dependent. Public ranges and a flat-fee scoped quote in writing before any build. We do not put a fake fixed price on the page that we will renegotiate later.

How we work on Custom
Send what you have, we send a detailed proposal.
One paragraph or one screenshot is enough. We reply by email with the questions we'd need answered, then send a detailed proposal: scope, stack, timeline, and a fixed-price quote in 3 business days. Free. If we discover what you actually need is a $1,800 Starter site, we will say so.
Built by a production web app developer
The engineer on your project is the founder.
Five plus years shipping production web apps: enterprise platforms, customer portals, and a privacy-first chat product co-built from scratch. More on the team →

FAQ
Sarasota questions.
Do you build for businesses on Siesta, Lido, or Longboat Key?
Yes. We build for restaurants, beach hotels, vacation rental managers, and retail on Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Longboat Key. Sites include trip and rental booking, mobile-first photo galleries, season-aware hours, and Google Business Profile alignment for the on-island address rather than a mainland one.
Can you handle a Sarasota gallery, theater, or seasonal arts site?
Yes. We build for galleries, performing arts venues, and seasonal festivals around Sarasota's downtown arts district and the Ringling cultural campus. Sites handle exhibition and performance calendars, ticketing through your existing platform, donor and patron pages, and bilingual season announcements when an audience needs them.
We are technically in Lakewood Ranch. Does that change anything?
Not for the build, but it matters for the copy. Lakewood Ranch straddles Sarasota and Manatee counties and reads as its own market: master-planned neighborhoods, the UTC corridor, and a younger family demographic. We set up your service area, schema, and content to reflect that.
Other service areas
We also build in.
Ready to talk about your Sarasota site?
Send your current site or what you're envisioning. We'll reply by email with a few questions so we understand the project. After that, we'll send a detailed proposal: what we'd upgrade, how we'd build it, timeline, and a flat price. Free. No pitch on a call you didn't ask for.
Free. No pitch. No follow-up calls.
