Full-Service Digital Agency
Custom Software Development & Technology Consulting
We advise, then we build. First we help you work out what is actually worth building — scope, priorities, and whether software is even the right answer. Then we design, build, and deploy it, from websites and web apps to AI integrations and workflow automation. Based in Little Rock, we work with companies across Central Arkansas and nationwide.
Advise First
Technology Consulting & Advisory
Plenty of projects fail because the wrong thing got built. Before anyone writes code, we work through what the business actually needs, what it should cost you in effort, and what order it should happen in.
Deciding What to Build
Scoping and requirements in plain language: what the software has to do, who uses it, what it connects to, and what success looks like. We sequence the work so the piece that pays for itself first gets built first, instead of shipping everything at once.
Build vs. Buy
Sometimes off-the-shelf software already does the job for a fraction of a custom build. When that is the case, we will tell you — and point you at it. Custom is worth it when your process is genuinely yours, when the tools you need do not talk to each other, or when per-seat licensing stops making sense.
Technology & Systems Audits
For businesses whose tools have quietly stopped fitting: overlapping subscriptions, data re-keyed between systems, spreadsheets holding a process together. We map what you run today, where the manual work and the risk sit, and what to fix, replace, or connect.
AI Strategy
Where AI genuinely helps — repetitive answers, phone and message handling, sorting and routing information — and where it is an expensive distraction from a process problem. We are candid about the difference rather than selling AI into places it does not belong.
The advisory work is available on its own or as the front end of a build. A Strategy Session is the paid, structured version with a written 90-day action plan; an introductory call is the free first conversation if you are still working out what you need.

Consulting Engagements
Every engagement ends with a document you keep and act on — not a slide deck of generalities. Start at the level that matches the question you are trying to answer.
$497
Strategy Session
One workflow, one working session (up to 45 minutes), with a short intake beforehand. You leave with a written 90-day action plan — 3–5 prioritized recommendations. The fee is credited toward any Stratos purchase within 30 days.
$1,500
Technology Roadmap
Your whole operation, across two working sessions. You leave with a 12-month technology roadmap — prioritized, sequenced, and costed — so you know what to do first and what it should cost. The fee is credited toward any Stratos purchase within 60 days.
$3,500
Build Readiness Audit
A multi-session engagement with asynchronous review in between. You leave with a costed build specification you own — bring it to us or to any development team. The fee is credited toward any Stratos purchase within 90 days.
The Technology Roadmap and Build Readiness Audit are scoped in conversation, not bought from a page. Start with a free introductory call or contact us and we will point you at the right level.

FAQ
Custom development questions
How much does a custom software project cost?
Every project is quoted individually based on scope — most custom projects land in the $5,000–15,000 range depending on complexity and integrations. Tell us what you need and we will scope it, plan it, and provide a custom quote — no generic packages, no hidden fees.
What does the development process look like?
We start by scoping your project: what you need, what it should do, and what success looks like. From there we plan the build, design and develop the solution, and deploy it — handling the full stack from architecture to launch. Ongoing support and maintenance are available after delivery.
What technologies and integrations do you work with?
We build responsive websites, progressive web apps, e-commerce platforms, client portals, dashboards, cross-platform mobile apps, conversational AI agents, and workflow automation. We also develop custom APIs and integrate third-party services like Stripe, Twilio, Google Workspace, and CRMs, with security best practices built into every project.
How long does a custom development project take?
Timelines depend on scope and are locked in during scoping — whether it’s a website or a larger application, you know the schedule before we start building.
