We build
Web apps, mobile apps, custom software, AI integration, web design, and graphics. One team handles everything from concept to deployment — no subcontracting, no handoffs to strangers.
Web apps, dashboards & platforms
We build SaaS products, admin dashboards, e-commerce platforms, and marketing sites using React, Next.js, and TypeScript. Responsive, fast, accessible, and ready for production traffic.
iOS, Android & cross-platform apps
Native apps in Swift and Kotlin, or cross-platform with React Native and Expo. From UI design to App Store submission — we handle the full lifecycle including post-launch updates.
Internal tools, APIs & automation
Bespoke software for your operations — CRMs, admin panels, data pipelines, workflow automation, and integrations with your existing systems. Built in Python, Go, Node.js, or Rust.
Chatbots, document processing & AI agents
We integrate AI into your existing products. Chatbots, search, document analysis, recommendation engines, RAG pipelines, and LLM workflows using OpenAI and Anthropic APIs.
Websites, landing pages & UI/UX
Pixel-perfect web design that converts. We craft responsive landing pages, marketing sites, and full UI/UX experiences — wireframes to final handoff. Every detail considered, every interaction intentional.
Branding, visuals & creative assets
Brand identities, logos, social media graphics, pitch decks, and marketing collateral. We create cohesive visual systems that make your brand recognizable and memorable across every touchpoint.
A process that earns its name.
Every engagement runs through the same four phases. Predictable for you, repeatable for us, and honest about how software and design actually get made.
Discovery
We start with a week of deep listening. Stakeholder calls, document review, and an honest scope conversation.
Learn more›Design & Architecture
Before we write production code, we draw the systems. Database schemas, API contracts, UI/UX wireframes, brand direction, and infrastructure diagrams.
Learn more›Build & Ship
Tight weekly sprints with end-of-week demos. You see working software, designs, and creative assets in your hands every Friday.
Learn more›Maintain & Evolve
Projects aren't done when they ship — they're done when someone else can run with them. We hand off documentation, design files, and brand guidelines — then stick around.

Four doors in. Pick the one that fits.
Most engagements start with a Consult or a Sprint. The good ones become Projects. The great ones become long-term Retainers. We're happy with any of the four.
Consult
A short call to talk through what you're building. No card, no commitment, no follow-up dance.
Sprint
Discovery, audits, prototypes, and design sprints. Short engagements with a tight scope and a deliverable by Friday.
Project
Most chosenEnd-to-end product builds — software and design. Dedicated team, weekly demos, ship to production, stick around long enough to make sure it lands.
Retainer
A dedicated engineering and design pod that becomes your extended team. Best for ongoing product work.

Discover why teams choose us for their most important builds and designs.
“ZeroBytes shipped a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform in fourteen weeks. Our previous vendor took six months on the proof of concept alone.”
“Started working with ZeroBytes for a rebrand and web redesign. I wish I found them sooner.”
“The most useful technical audit I've ever paid for. ZeroBytes told us what to stop doing — half our backlog became irrelevant by Friday.”

“Most studios talk about craft. ZeroBytes is the only one where the code and design files we inherited were easier to maintain than what we'd built ourselves.”
“We expected a vendor relationship. We got a team that understood our business better than half our managers did.”
“The ZeroBytes team ships. I wanted types for our shared SDK, and less than an hour later, I got them.”

Things people
usually ask first.
The honest answers, not the rehearsed ones. If your question isn't here, write to us — we answer everything personally.
hello@zerobytes.dev→Where are you based?
We're a fully remote team with engineers across North America and Europe. We work in your timezone whenever the calendar allows, and our async-first culture means progress doesn't stall when someone's asleep.
Who do you typically work with?
Funded startups (Series A through C, mostly) and product teams inside larger companies that want to move faster than their internal pace allows. About a third of our work is for founders building their first product — many need both the software and the brand identity from scratch.
How big is the team?
Six full-time engineers, two designers, plus a rotating bench of trusted contractors. We deliberately stay small — small enough that everyone on a project can fit on a single video call and own outcomes end-to-end.
Do you take on equity arrangements?
Rarely. We'll consider equity as a top-up on a discounted cash rate for early-stage founders we're excited about, but we don't do equity-only work. We've seen how that ends.
How much does a project actually cost?
A discovery sprint runs $12K–$25K depending on scope. A full project build is typically $80K–$400K, with most landing in the $120K–$220K range. Retainers start at $24K per month per pod. Every engagement gets a written budget range before we sign anything.
How long does a typical project take?
Discovery sprints are one to two weeks. Full project builds are eight to sixteen weeks for most products, with the first usable version in your hands by week four. Anything longer than four months gets broken into phases with explicit go/no-go checkpoints.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, before any conversation with sensitive details. We have a standard mutual NDA we can send, or we'll counter-sign yours. We've never had a leak in twelve years.
What happens if a project goes off-track?
We tell you, in writing, the moment we see it. Then we propose a recovery plan — usually scope reduction, occasionally a timeline extension at our cost, never quietly missing a deadline. The number of projects we've delivered late is small enough to count on one hand.
How often do we hear from you during a build?
Daily async standups in Slack, one synchronous meeting per week (usually the Friday demo), and a written status note every Friday. You'll know exactly what we're doing, what we're stuck on, and what's coming next, all the time.
What does "weekly demos" actually mean?
Every Friday we show you working software in production or staging, plus any design deliverables — mockups, brand assets, or prototypes. Not slides, not "in progress" — actual work you can click on or review. If we don't have something to demo, the demo becomes a frank conversation about why.
Can your engineers work in our existing codebase?
Yes, frequently. About 40% of our engagements are inside existing codebases. We'll do a free audit before quoting so we know what we're walking into, and we won't take a job we don't think we can do well.
Who owns the code and designs?
You do, on day one. Your GitHub org, your cloud account, your domains, your Figma files. We're contributors, not landlords. We commit code into your repos and share design files throughout the project, never as a single drop at the end.
Do you write tests?
Yes. Unit tests for logic, integration tests for boundaries, end-to-end tests for critical paths. We aim for the level of coverage that makes the codebase confidently changeable, not for a specific number on a dashboard.
What about security and compliance?
We've shipped HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI-aware systems. We follow least-privilege principles by default, run dependency scanning, and write threat models for anything that touches money or PII. For regulated industries, we bring in specialist auditors during the project.
Do you provide post-launch support?
Every project includes a 30-day post-launch warranty at no charge. After that, support continues as a small monthly retainer if you want it, or we hand off everything cleanly and you carry on. The choice is always yours.
