We build the first working version of a web app: the one workflow your users need, logins, payments if you charge, and an admin screen for your team. It runs in your own accounts, and you get the source code and the notes to carry on.
Tell us what you needSee typical projectsAgreed in writing first, then built and handed over to you.
What we hear from businesses before a project like this starts.
The requests that come up most often for this kind of work, and what each one takes to work properly.
The single thing a user comes to do, from sign-up to result, before anything else is added.
Sign-up, sign-in, password reset and roles, using a proven auth service rather than a home-made one.
Stripe checkout or subscriptions, with receipts and a record of who has paid, when the app charges.
A page where your team can see users, fix records and answer support questions without touching the database.
Deployed to your own hosting and database accounts, with backups and a separate test copy.
Plain, documented code in a common stack, so a future developer is not starting from zero.
Tools that come up most: React, Next.js, Node, Python, Postgres, Supabase, Firebase, Stripe, Vercel, Render, AWS and Google Cloud.
Concrete pieces, each one something you can open and check when it's done.
The screens and logic for the one job the app exists to do.

The habits that keep this kind of project from going wrong.
We agree in writing what the first version does and, just as important, what it does not. Extras wait for version two.
We use widely known tools, so the next developer can work on it and hosting stays cheap.
Each milestone is a link you can click, not a status report.
Code, hosting, database and payment accounts are yours from the start.
A written scope first, then working progress you can check, then a proper handover.
Tell us what you need in your own words, and which tools you already use. A few lines is plenty to start.
We reply with a short written scope: what gets built, what is out of scope, which accounts we need, and how we'll both know it works. You know what you're getting before work begins.
The work is split into milestones. At each one you see it working in your own account and sign it off before we go on.
You get the working system, its documentation and a walkthrough. If anything we built breaks in the next 30 days, we fix it at no charge.
Pushbuild has built software for businesses since 2010, for more than 40 clients. Every project is led by a former public-company CTO, from Groton, Massachusetts. See products we've built.
You do. It lives in your own repository and runs in your own hosting accounts from the start.
Often, yes. We review it first and tell you in writing what is worth keeping. See also our page on finishing apps built in Lovable, Bolt or Bubble.
Yes. Every screen is built to work on a phone browser. A separate app-store app is its own scope.
Small adjustments inside the agreed scope are included. Anything new gets its own short written scope, and we only do it if you approve it.
For 30 days we fix anything we built that does not work as the scope describes, at no charge. After that, further work is scoped the same way.
Email a few lines about what you want and which tools you use, or call. We reply with questions or a written scope.
