Custom internal tools, dashboards, and portals, shipped in quarters, not years. Built for Illinois-based operators, from Chicago and Aurora to the secondary metros in between.
Chicago anchors a Midwest economy with deep strengths in commodities trading, logistics, manufacturing, and one of the country's largest healthcare and insurance employer bases.
Full-Stack Software engagements in Illinois reflect that economic shape. We build the software that replaces your spreadsheets, vendor portals, and Frankensteined Zapier flows. We work across Chicago, Aurora, Naperville and the surrounding metros, with project plans tuned to the regulatory and competitive reality on the ground rather than a national template.
For Illinois-based businesses, the engagement starts at $75,000, fixed. Discovery in 2 weeks, MVP in 10 to 14 weeks, beta to GA in 4 to 8 weeks.
Chicago anchors the third-largest metro economy in the US and one of the country's deepest financial services and insurance markets. Media costs are moderate relative to NYC and LA, SMB density is high, and operational quality at agencies in the city is strong, competition is real but the win conditions are clear.
Two weeks, scoped and paid. We map the workflow, talk to operators, and write a wireframe pack you can use even if you do not hire us. The bid that follows is a number, not a range.
Clerk or WorkOS for auth. Stripe for billing. Role-based access control from the first sprint. These are solved problems and we do not re-solve them every engagement.
Boring works. Postgres covers 95% of operator workloads. The migration to something exotic is real but cheap if you ever need it, and most teams never do.
Sentry, Axiom, and a feature-flag layer ship with the first sprint. You cannot debug what you cannot see, and we will not hand off code we cannot diagnose.
We respond within 48 hours with scope, pricing, and the team that would actually run the engagement.
