Why businesses hire us

Most growing businesses get stuck choosing between a freelancer who can’t cover everything and an agency that hands their project to strangers. We are the middle path: a founder-led studio with a vetted team behind it, so you get the depth of a full team with the accountability of people who know your business by name.

  • One point of contact from discovery to launch
  • Senior people on your project, start to finish
  • Plain-English updates and weekly demos
  • You own your code, designs, and accounts
  • Every team member personally vetted by the founders

Who should build it?

A freelancer

Personal, but stretched thin

Often senior and hands-on, but one person rarely covers design, development, AI, and security, and capacity runs out fast.

An agency

Capacity, but handoffs

Plenty of people, but the team that sold you the project is often not the team that builds it.

Reunify Studios | Dev

The middle path

Two founders who stay on your project, a vetted bench for extra hands, and security built in from day one.

Trusted with the keys, and we take that seriously

Hiring a developer usually means handing over access to your store. Here is how we protect it.

Least-privilege access

Individual named accounts with only the permissions the job needs, removed when the project ends.

Staging first

Changes are built and tested on a copy of your site before anything touches production.

No shared passwords

Access is granted through your platform’s user roles. We never ask for your password.

Vetted dependencies

Every plugin, library, and API is reviewed before it goes into your stack.

Careful AI data handling

We configure AI features to keep your customer data out of third-party model training wherever the provider allows.

No lock-in

You get the code, documentation, and admin access. Your business never depends on us to keep running.

Built in our own lab

We build and run tools for our own stores first. Two of them are live right now. Try them.

Live · Open source

RAIA AI Assistant

A self-hosted AI chat widget grounded in your own FAQ and documents.

Shopify app

Pet Breed Selector

Shoppers choose artwork for their pet’s breed before ordering, synced with Printify.

Automation

Listing SEO Automation

Generates and updates print-on-demand listings, replacing hours of manual SEO work.

Live · Web tool

Branded QR Generator

Custom colors, shapes, and logos for marketing and packaging.

How we work

A simple, transparent process with no surprises.

Concept sketch of four rising platforms with flags: discover, design, build, launch

01. Discover

A free call to understand your goals, constraints, and what success looks like.

02. Design

A clear scope, timeline, and visual mockup before any code is written.

03. Build

Development on staging with weekly demos, so you see progress as it happens.

04. Launch and support

A careful go-live, handoff documentation, and optional ongoing support.

Ways to work with us

Every engagement starts with a free discovery call.

Fixed-scope project

A defined deliverable with a clear price and timeline. Ideal for a new app, website, or integration.

Monthly retainer

Reserved hours each month for improvements, maintenance, and new features.

Advisory

Hourly guidance on architecture, security, or AI strategy for your in-house team.

Common questions

Who will work on my project?

Our two founders lead every project and stay involved from start to finish. When a project needs extra hands, we bring in specialists we have personally vetted, and you will always know who has access to your systems.

Who owns the code and designs?

You do. Once the project is paid in full, the code, designs, and accounts we create for you are yours.

Which platforms do you work with?

Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, and custom PHP and MySQL web apps, plus integrations with services like Printify and leading AI providers.

How do you handle access to my store?

We ask you to create a named account for us with only the permissions the work requires. We never ask for your password, and access is removed when we are done.

How much does a project cost?

It depends on scope. After a free discovery call we send a fixed quote or a retainer proposal, so you know the cost before any work begins.
