A clear path from idea to supported app.

You do not have to commit to a production build on day one. Paid scoping defines the job; a prototype is used when the risky part needs proof.

  1. Start with the problem

    Send the process, product idea or existing system, along with who uses it, what is failing and the budget you're working with. We'll tell you whether we can help and what information is missing.

  2. Get an early budget range

    Once we understand the likely size and risk, we can usually give a range to test whether the project fits the available budget. The final number still depends on the agreed scope.

  3. Investigate the uncertain parts

    If the hard part is still unknown, the first paid work may be scoping, a technical investigation or a prototype. That work should remove a named risk and leave you with something useful.

  4. Quote an agreed stage

    The written quote states what is included, what is assumed and what sits outside the work. Bigger projects can be split into stages or a payment schedule that doesn't hammer your cash flow.

  5. Build, release and support

    Software is delivered in usable increments. Launch, handover and ongoing support are included or quoted separately according to what the product needs after release.

Why clients choose Rangefront.

The whole stack, one team

Web and mobile apps, integrations, data and automation handled by the same people, with AI when the job needs it.

Founder-led delivery

You work directly with the engineer accountable for the outcome, not a rotating cast of juniors behind an account manager.

Security when it counts

Private and on-prem options for data that can't leave the building, with access controls and logging built in. We treat security as engineering, not a sales line.

Long-term partnerships

You should get more capable over time, not more dependent on us. We would rather lose a retainer than keep you stuck.

Modern technology stack

Current, well-supported tools and clean architecture, so the system is still maintainable in five years.

Custom-built for your work

Software shaped to how your team works, instead of your team bending to fit someone else's product.
