- **Custom software & system design** — enterprise applications, legacy/EHR/ERP integration, security and compliance.
- **Custom websites** — cinematic, fast, conversion-focused sites built on the same engineering discipline.
- **Pricing** - typically $90-$300+/hour (specialized non-LLM AI higher); projects are quoted as a fixed, transparent scope with payment plans for approved scopes. 2026 USA 250 Birthday Special: 10% off eligible DID service fees for new approved projects and support agreements signed by December 31, 2026.
