CUSTOM · PILLAR 01

Built for you.
Shipped like product.

Most custom software drags. Ours doesn't. A small senior team with an AI-native workflow — delivering working prototypes in days and production in weeks, without the handoffs or ceremony.

What we build

Full stack. Full spectrum.

Four overlapping capabilities, one senior team. We don't hand you off between specialists — the person shipping your code is the person you speak to.

Web apps
Marketing sites, dashboards, portals, marketplaces. Built on Next.js and deployed on Vercel — fast by default.
Mobile & PWA
Native-feel apps without the native cost. React Native, Expo, and progressive web apps that install like native.

AI
AI features
RAG, agents, chatbots, classification, embeddings — we build AI that solves a real problem, not AI for the demo reel.

Integrations & automations
Connect the systems you already use. Paystack, Xero, Resend, webhooks, cron, background jobs — wired together, audited.
How a build runs

Week-by-week, not quarter-by-quarter.

A predictable rhythm from first call to launch. You see working software every few days — never a black box.

  1. 01
    Week 0

    Discovery

    A real conversation about what you need and why. We push back where we should, and leave with a written brief.

  2. 02
    Week 0–1

    Spec & design

    Scope, architecture, and design system — plus a working prototype in the first few days so nobody is guessing.

  3. 03
    Week 1–3+

    Build & demo

    Fast iteration cycles with live demos every few days. You review working software, not decks or Gantt charts.

  4. 04
    Launch

    Ship & support

    Staging, testing, deployment, handover. We stay on for ongoing tweaks and improvements as long as you need us.

The Elime difference

A custom build, without the custom drag.

AI-native from day one

We use AI throughout the build — spec writing, code generation, tests, reviews. Same quality, a fraction of the time.

Senior hands only

No junior farms, no offshore handoffs. The person shipping your code is the person you speak to on the call.

Velocity without debt

Fast does not mean fragile. Type-safe stacks, tests where they matter, and a clean repo you could hand to any team.

You own it all

Code, infrastructure, data, repos — yours, not held hostage. No lock-in, no proprietary gotchas, no surprise renewals.

Ongoing, not one-off

Most clients stay with us for months after launch — for new features, AI rollouts, and continuous improvement.

Outcome-obsessed

We care more about the result than the ticket count. If something won't move the needle, we say so.

Proof

Real teams.
Real timelines.

We've replaced manual processes, rebuilt legacy stacks, and launched brand-new products — typically measured in weeks, not quarters.

Live products
We went from chaos to clarity in under two weeks. The team didn't just build what we asked for — they questioned the wrong assumptions and saved us months of rework.

Questions

The stuff you're wondering.

How quickly can we launch something?

Working prototypes in days, production launches in weeks. A typical MVP is 2–4 weeks; a larger platform 6–10. We'll tell you exactly after a 30-minute call.

What tech stack do you use?

Next.js and React on the frontend; Convex, Node, or Python on the backend; Vercel for hosting; Clerk for auth; React Native / Expo for mobile. We pick tools for speed and longevity, not trends.

Do you sign NDAs and IP assignment?

Yes, both — standard. All IP assigned to you at delivery, source in your repo, credentials in your accounts. You own everything.

How do you price?

Fixed-scope for small projects, weekly sprints or retainers for larger ones. No hidden line items. You'll see pricing before you commit.

What if we already have a team?

We work alongside in-house developers all the time — as spec-and-build partners, spike runners, or AI specialists. See the Partner pillar.

Do you support after launch?

Yes, always. Most clients roll into a lightweight retainer for new features, bug fixes, and ongoing improvements — but it is never required.
