The developer's gone. The project doesn't have to be.
We take over half-finished software from developers and agencies who stopped. Free build audit first. Most work starts around $8,000.
Some clients come to us with half a product. Some come with a folder of screenshots and an invoice. Either way the work is the same shape: look hard at what exists, say honestly what's worth keeping, then build the rest and put it in front of real people.
Taking over someone else's build is most of what we do. No lecture about how it got that way.
Before you hire anyone else
- 01Find out whose name the domain, hosting, app-store and code accounts are in — and get them into yours.
- 02Collect whatever exists: the repository, designs, staging links, the contract and the last invoice.
- 03Don't pay anyone to "just finish it" until someone has read the code.
What we take over
Web, iPhone and Android code, the hosting it runs on, payments, logins, and the connections into whatever systems you already run.
One we took over
A text-and-QR lead platform for US dealerships, which we took over from a previous build and now run. Searching 190,000 leads went from about 90 seconds to about 8.
Most clients who come to us this way stay on after launch — to run it, and to build what comes next.
What it costs
Most work starts around $8,000. Fixed price, agreed before anyone starts. Hosting and support are quoted separately, so you can see what's a one-off and what's monthly.
What you own
When the work is done the code, the accounts and the infrastructure are yours, and they transfer whether you stay with us or not.
Questions people ask us
What to do first, messy code, missing access, cost, and what happens after launch.
Ask us something elseGet the accounts into your name — the domain, the hosting, the code repository and any app-store listings — and collect whatever exists. Then have someone read the code before you pay anyone to finish it. Our audit is free and comes back written in a few days.
Then the audit says so, and says whether it's cheaper to fix or rebuild. Sometimes very little is worth keeping; you'll hear that before you spend anything, not halfway through.
Tell us at the start. Getting the repository and accounts back into your name comes first, because everything we build ends up in your name too.
Most work starts around $8,000; a full build across web and mobile is usually $20,000 to $50,000. It's a fixed price agreed before anyone starts, after a free audit that tells you what finishing it takes.
Yes, if you want us to. Most clients who come to us to finish someone else's build stay on after launch, on a monthly retainer for hosting, monitoring, updates and support.
