What our clients say
Why YourCTO?
We’re passionate about building amazing tech products. Our team has over 15 years of experience and expertise in a variety of programming languages and platforms. We always build in a strategic way so that your tech is scalable and can grow with your business. Your great ideas need to be matched by equally great tech – and that’s what we strive to deliver.
Your tech strategy has to match the needs of your business. We work hard to understand your business plan in the short, mid, and long term. Our own experience, as startup founders ourselves, and having advised executives and entrepreneurs in many sectors, helps us align with your vision.
We’ve all heard the horror stories of tech projects gone wrong – the root cause is almost always poor planning and communication. We do a deep dive to plan your project to the last detail and make sure you understand exactly how the process works. Once we start, we loop you in every step of the way and always have an open line of communication. This way, we make sure that our expectations are aligned from the start, and stay that way.
We believe in radical transparency. We go the extra mile to detail every step of a project, so that we can offer fixed price options that minimize your risk. We will never spring unexpected charges or changes on you. Equally important, if we run into any unexpected hurdles we’ll let you know right away and recommend tangible solutions.
Our role is to be your advocate and safeguard your interests, not to maximize our profit. We always recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your business, even if it means smaller contracts for us. We work hard to earn and keep your trust, and view each client relationship as a partnership. Getting you to market as quickly and efficiently as possible benefits everyone.
We believe that every entrepreneur deserves the white glove service that big companies get. That’s why we only take on as many projects as our founders can personally oversee. You’ll always work directly with one of our founders, own all work product and IP, and be treated like what you are – a top priority.
We strive to help clients start small and grow, and our software is always built to scale. As your business and tech needs grow, we can grow with you – handling everything from tech and customer support all the way to building and managing full-time teams that work only on your project.
Fair and Transparent Pricing.
Every project is unique, and the exact cost and timeline depend on exactly what we’re building. To get a basic idea of cost ranges, try our pricing widget – choose the type of project you have in mind to see sample costs. Contact us any time to get a free quote for your project.
