We are not in the Short North. We are a ten-person web and software team in northern Italy, working in English for US companies, six hours ahead of Columbus. Here is what we build for Columbus businesses, what it costs, and when a local firm is the better choice.
Six kinds of project cover almost everything that reaches us from the US. The first job on any call is working out which one you actually need — fairly often it is smaller than the one you came in asking for.
A handful of pages done properly: who you are, what you do, who for, how to reach you. Fast on a phone, accessible, and written around the words your customers actually type into Google. From €350 one-off, or €24.80 a month with hosting and changes included.
Product pages, checkout, shipping rules, sales tax settings, order handling. Shopify when it fits, custom when it does not, and connected to your inventory or accounting so nothing gets keyed in twice.
iOS and Android apps, or an installable web app when the App Store adds nothing. Booking, loyalty, field service, ordering, internal tools for crews who are never at a desk.
Inventory, jobs, scheduling, quoting, service reports. Built around how your company works instead of how a SaaS vendor decided everyone should work. Custom systems start from €1,500.
Leads, deals, orders and documents in one place, plus a portal where clients check status themselves instead of emailing you. Usually saves more hours than the public website.
Two systems that do not talk, and a person retyping data between them: QuickBooks, Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce, spreadsheets. Automating that handover has the fastest payback of anything on this list.
Every city has its own mix of businesses, and its own software problems. These are the ones we see most from Columbus.
Quote flows, agent and policyholder portals, and internal tools for one of the country's insurance centers.
Order tracking, warehouse and driver apps for a region within a day's drive of much of the US population.
E-commerce, wholesale portals and internal tools for brands headquartered in the region.
Booking, intake and patient communication with HIPAA-conscious hosting.
Capability sites, supplier portals and production tracking for the region's growing industrial base.
Fast sites and booking for businesses in Dublin, Westerville, Grandview, Hilliard and New Albany.
Columbus is practical and growing, and much of what reaches us is operational: a portal for agents, a tracker for the warehouse, an integration between systems that should already talk.
We quote it fixed, in writing, in stages, at a fraction of a local agency's price.
Every site we build follows WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility and handles consent properly.
Italy is six hours ahead of Columbus. Our afternoon is your morning: between 9am and noon Eastern we are both at our desks, and that is where calls, reviews and decisions go. The rest of our working day happens while you are still asleep, so you start the morning with yesterday's questions answered and new work to look at.
The paperwork is simple: contracts in English, a fixed price in writing, invoices without Italian VAT, and intellectual property assigned to your company. Domain, hosting, Google accounts and source code are registered in your name from launch.
When we are the wrong choice. If you need someone in your office every week, a supplier on chat through your whole afternoon, or a team of fifteen running in parallel on a seven-figure program, a Columbus firm is the right answer — and we will tell you that on the first call rather than three months in.
Central Ohio searches by suburb: Dublin, Westerville, Hilliard, Grandview, Worthington, New Albany.
For insurance and logistics companies, the narrow pages — the specific product, the specific lane or service — win.
Narrow first, broad later.
Yes: documents, payments, claims status and messaging, connected to your policy system where it offers an API.
Usually. If it has an API or reliable export, we can connect it; we check before quoting.
Yes, in English. Italy is six hours ahead of Columbus, so calls go in your morning, between about 9am and noon Eastern.
A company website costs €350 one-off, plus €150 if you want the initial optimization for Google and Bing, or €24.80 a month with hosting, domain, maintenance and content changes included on a 24-month minimum term. Web apps start at €50 a month or €750 one-off; custom business software starts at €1,500. Larger projects get a fixed quote after a free analysis.
Italy is 6 hours ahead of Eastern time. We schedule calls in your morning, which is our afternoon, and do most of the build while you are offline. In practice you get answers overnight rather than waiting for them during your day.
Yes. On the one-off option the domain, hosting, content and source code are registered in your company's name from go-live, and the code lives in your repository. There is no license tied to us and no lock-in.
Thirty minutes on a video call, free and with no sales deck: we tell you what you actually need, what it costs and how long it takes to go live. If we are not the right fit, we tell you that too.
