The build has outgrown the builder
The freelancer or agency who wrote it has moved on. The code still runs the business, and nobody wants to touch it.
Software partner
We take on the platform, the CRM or the app your business actually runs on, and we ship changes weekly instead of quarterly, using an AI assisted delivery pipeline with people reviewing every line.
The problem
The freelancer or agency who wrote it has moved on. The code still runs the business, and nobody wants to touch it.
Every request turns into a quote, a queue and a delay, so the obvious improvements never get made.
Fixes happen when something breaks. Dependencies age, access sprawls, and the risk sits quietly in the background.
You know it should change how this gets built and priced. What you have not seen is anyone show you exactly where.
Sound familiar?
Have a look at it with usWhat we do
One builds the thing. One keeps it healthy. Most clients start with the first and stay on the second.
New platforms, and serious change to platforms you already have. Scoped as individual cases so you can see and price every piece before it starts.
Priced per feature
The part most people skip. Someone owns your platform, watches it, patches it, and tells you plainly what changed.
Monthly retainer
How we build
This is the bit that makes us quicker than a traditional agency, and it is the same on every project. The order matters, so here it is in full.
Your request becomes a written case with acceptance criteria. If it is not clear enough to test, it is not clear enough to build.
An AI agent picks the case up, works in your repository, and raises a pull request against a protected branch.
A human engineer reviews the code and a tester drives the journey on a pre production environment before anything moves.
Cases promote as a set, on your say so, with a plain summary of what went live and what it cost.

Compare
A fair question, and the honest answer depends on what you need. Here is how the options tend to play out.
| Criterion | Draytus | Traditional dev agency | Freelance developer | In house hire |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Speed of a small change | Days, in the next release set | Quoted, queued, often weeks | Fast when free, stalled when not | Fast, once they are up to speed |
| Cost model | Fixed price per feature | Day rates and change control | Hourly, variable | Salary, benefits, tooling |
| Who reviews the work | Engineer review plus a QA pass, every case | Varies by team | Usually nobody | Nobody, if they are your only developer |
| Continuity | A team, plus written cases for every change | Good, while you are a live account | Ends when they move on | Ends when they leave |
| Ownership of the code | Yours, in your own repository and cloud | Sometimes theirs until final payment | Usually yours, rarely documented | Yours |
