San Jose, California

Web design company
for San Jose businesses.

We are not in North San Jose's office parks, and our rates show it. We are a ten-person web and software team in northern Italy, working in English for US companies. Here is what we build for Silicon Valley companies — mostly the work your engineers should not be doing — and when we are the wrong choice.

What we build

Websites, apps and software
for San Jose companies

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.

01

Company website

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.

02

E-commerce

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.

03

Mobile apps

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.

04

Custom business software

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.

05

CRM and client portals

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.

06

Integrations and automation

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.

San Jose industries

What we build
for San Jose

Every city has its own mix of businesses, and its own software problems. These are the ones we see most from San Jose.

01

Hardware and semiconductor companies

Product sites with real technical depth, datasheet libraries, distributor portals and RFQ tools that turn engineers' questions into qualified leads.

02

Enterprise SaaS

Marketing sites, documentation and integration pages your growth team can edit without a pull request.

03

Internal tools

Admin panels, ops dashboards and approval flows — the internal software no product roadmap ever prioritizes.

04

Startups

MVPs at a fixed price on mainstream technology, with code your future team can take over.

05

Manufacturing and supply chain

Supplier portals, quality and document control, production tracking for the Valley's remaining contract manufacturers.

06

Local businesses

Fast sites, ordering and booking for businesses in Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Milpitas and Campbell.

The commercial reality

Why a team in Italy
makes sense for San Jose

Silicon Valley engineering time is among the most expensive anywhere, and it belongs on your product. The marketing site, the admin panel and the integration nobody owns are where an outside team at a fraction of the cost makes sense.

Fixed price, written scope, code in your GitHub from day one, documented so your engineers can take it over. We build while you sleep and you review in the morning.

California rules apply: the CCPA/CPRA for personal data, and accessibility claims under both the ADA and the Unruh Act. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA and implement consent properly.

Honestly

Time zones, contracts,
and when we are the wrong choice

Italy is nine hours ahead of San Jose. That is the widest gap in the country, and we will not pretend otherwise: the shared window is your early morning, about 7 to 9am Pacific, our late afternoon. It works well for weekly reviews and decisions, and the upside is real — we build while you sleep, so you wake up to progress. It does not work if you need someone on a call with you at 3pm.

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 San Jose firm is the right answer — and we will tell you that on the first call rather than three months in.

How we work

Fixed price,
no surprises.

  1. Free 30-minute callWhat you sell, who to, and what the site or software has to do. No sales deck. Sometimes the honest conclusion is that you need less than you thought.
  2. Fixed-price quoteOne figure in writing, covering everything needed to go live. It does not move mid-project: anything you add later is quoted separately, and only if you ask.
  3. Built in stagesYou see something usable within the first weeks, then every week after. Corrections happen during the build, not in a big review at the end.
  4. Launch and afterGo-live, checks, training for your team. Maintenance is optional — you are not locked in, and the domain, accounts and source code are in your company's name.
FAQ

The questions from San Jose.

Can you build a datasheet and documentation site?

Yes: searchable product and documentation pages, downloadable files, version history and structured data, editable by your product team.

Will our engineers be able to take over the code?

Yes. Mainstream stacks, your repository from the first commit, and documentation written for the next developer.

Is a nine-hour time difference workable?

For well-scoped work, yes. Calls go in your early morning, about 7 to 9am Pacific, and we build while you are offline.

How much does a website cost?

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.

How do the time zones work with San Jose?

Italy is 9 hours ahead of Pacific 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.

Will we own the website and the code?

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.

Got a project in San Jose?

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.
