We are not on K Street. We are a ten-person web and software team in northern Italy, working in English for US organizations, six hours ahead of Washington. Here is what we build for DC-area businesses, associations and nonprofits, what it costs, and when a local firm is the better call.
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 Washington, DC.
Member portals, event registration, donation flows and resource libraries — on a budget a board can approve, and accessible to everyone who visits.
Capability sites with real past-performance detail, proposal and compliance trackers, and internal tools for teams that live in spreadsheets between contracts.
Practice and issue pages that rank, publication libraries that are easy to search, and secure client portals for documents.
Sites that make expertise concrete, plus client portals and reporting dashboards that replace weekly email updates.
Booking, intake and patient communication across DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia, with HIPAA-conscious hosting where health data is involved.
Fast mobile sites, direct reservations and Google Business Profile work for Arlington, Alexandria, Bethesda, Silver Spring and Tysons.
Washington runs on organizations that need to look credible and be accessible — to members, to agencies, to the public. Much of what reaches us from the region is not a flashy site; it is a member portal, a resource library or an internal tracker that has outgrown its spreadsheet.
Our quotes are fixed, written and split into stages, at a fraction of what a DC agency charges for the same scope, because our overhead is a fraction of theirs. You talk directly to the people building the project.
Accessibility matters more here than almost anywhere. Federal agencies are bound by Section 508, many grants and contracts pass that expectation on, and private organizations face ADA claims. We build every site to WCAG 2.1 AA, which is the technical standard Section 508 points to, and test with keyboard and screen reader before launch.
Italy is six hours ahead of Washington, DC. 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 Washington, DC firm is the right answer — and we will tell you that on the first call rather than three months in.
The DC metro spans three jurisdictions, and local searches carry their names: Arlington, Alexandria, Bethesda, Silver Spring, Tysons, Reston. A Google Business Profile done properly and pages for the areas you serve win local calls.
For associations, think and policy organizations, organic search is about topics, not location: research, reports and explainers that answer specific questions. Clear structure and structured data also make that content easy for AI search tools to quote.
For contractors, the narrow door is the capability itself — the specific service, certification or contract vehicle buyers search for.
We build to WCAG 2.1 AA, which is the standard the Section 508 rules incorporate, and we test with keyboard navigation and screen readers. If you need a formal accessibility conformance report for a contract, we can document what was tested.
Yes: member accounts, renewals, directories, gated resources and event registration, connected to your payment provider and, where possible, to your existing association management system.
Yes, in English. Italy is six hours ahead of Washington, 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.
