Software engineering priced
in plain sight, Naperville.
Naperville has deep engineering roots. We publish fixed-price packages with timelines, launch every build with monitoring and error tracking already running, and show you milestones in a portal instead of sending status decks.
A city that grew up around research labs
Naperville sits inside the Illinois Technology and Research Corridor. The growth of the 1980s and 1990s followed employers like Bell Labs (now Nokia Bell Labs), along with Amoco, Nalco, Calamos and Nicor. In a corridor built on research, vague promises fall flat. Scope, price and milestones in writing are the better answer.
Three packages, with the numbers on the page
A Launch starts at $10,000, takes roughly two to three weeks, and suits a marketing site or a single-feature web app. A Growth Build starts at $25,000, runs about four to eight weeks, and covers a custom application with AI features engineered in. Mobile apps and multi-tenant SaaS are scoped in a conversation first. Every price is fixed after one scoping call, before any work starts. That makes comparison easy: set a published package beside an agency proposal and see exactly what each one includes, and when it lands.
What arrives with every build
A live Client Portal showing milestones and deliverables, BugHive error tracking switched on before launch, and Pulse giving the site a 0 to 100 Pulse Score. A Launch also includes 30 days of post-launch care, and a Care Plan adds a ticketed help desk after that. The idea is simple: nobody should be handed a folder of code and left to wonder who to call. Questions about the build, the invoice or a bug each have one place to go, and each leaves a record.
Built by AI, led by a principal engineer
Our engineers are AI agents, and Kevin Champlin, Founder & Principal Engineer, leads every engagement and approves the plan before work starts. That structure is why the price can be a fixed number, and why a growing Naperville business can afford the kind of architecture normally reserved for much larger companies. The repetitive engineering is done by agents. The judgement about what to build, and whether it is ready, stays with a person.
What you get
What this looks like in practice
Launch sites and single-feature apps
A fast, search-ready marketing site, or one well-built web feature, live in a few weeks with tracking and error monitoring wired in before the day it goes public.
Custom web applications
Dashboards, workflows and customer-facing tools built end to end, with the AI features designed in from the first sketch.
iOS and Android together
One Kotlin Multiplatform codebase for both phones, so a booking or loyalty app does not mean paying twice.
Scheduling and payments
Class bookings, tutoring sessions and studio memberships with reminders and card payments, for businesses that run on a weekly calendar.
Practice and clinic tooling
Intake, scheduling and patient-communication tools for health and wellness practices.
Multi-tenant SaaS
When an internal tool should become a product, the sign-up, billing and tenant separation are already part of the plan.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between a Launch and a Growth Build?
If the job is a website or one focused feature, start with a Launch. If you need a custom application with its own logic and AI-first features, a Growth Build is the right size. One scoping call settles it, and if the job needs something in between, we say so and quote it that way.
What does “from $10,000” really mean?
It is the floor for a fully instrumented, production-ready build. The scoping call locks requirements, technology choices and a single fixed price, so you know the number before we write a line of code. There are no discovery retainers and no hourly meter, and the timeline is stated up front: roughly two to three weeks for a Launch, four to eight for a Growth Build.
Can you build one app for both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Our mobile work uses Kotlin Multiplatform, which shares one codebase across iOS and Android. It starts with a scoping conversation, because apps vary widely.
How will I see what is happening during the build?
In your Client Portal, which shows milestones, deliverables, invoices and site activity throughout the engagement. You review working software as it grows, not status-update slides.
What happens after launch?
A Launch includes 30 days of care. After that, Care Plans keep the software updated, secure and supported, and the help desk, monitoring and error tracking continue under a Care Plan, which is month to month. You decide whether to continue.
Are the engineers human?
The engineers are AI agents, and we label them that way. Kevin Champlin, a human principal engineer, leads each engagement and approves the plan before work begins.

Kevin Champlin
Founder & Principal Engineer
28 years in production software, from enterprise systems to the SaaS products above. Kevin leads every engagement with our AI engineering team, and the people who scope your project are the ones who build it and pick up the phone after launch. No offshore handoffs. No bait-and-switch.
A softer step
Not sure if you even need this kind of work?
Most businesses don't need a custom build. They need a clear look at where AI would actually pay off first. That's what the Free AI Opportunity Audit is: tell us about your operation and an AI agent we engineered reads your website and emails you, in about two minutes, three concrete places AI quietly pays for itself, a 90-day plan for the first one, and a website health grade. No call needed and no follow-up sales sequence. The audit is yours whether or not we ever work together.
