River~Code BUILD

RIVER~CODE · WEBSITES, WEB APPS AND INTERNAL TOOLS

THE SITE. AND THE SYSTEM BEHIND IT.

Most agencies build the page your customers see. We also build the tool your team runs the day on. Fixed price or hourly, a fixed date, and your code in your repository from the first commit.

THE SYSTEM HALF — TWO TOOLS IN DAILY PRODUCTION USE

iC Timesheet App
The iC Consulenten timesheet: hours logged per day, project and task, totalled for the month.
Timesheets and payroll for an engineering consultancy. Internal
ic-ces.at
The CES assessment tool in use: a stepped questionnaire with instant validation of each answer.
Compliance assessment for an energy consultancy. Open it

02 — WHAT WE BUILD

Front of the business, and the back of it.

  • Web apps and internal tools

    Dashboards, timesheets, client portals, approval flows — the systems a company actually runs its day on.

  • Websites

    Marketing sites and landing pages that load fast, read well and are built to be edited without calling us.

    Get a quote
  • Content platforms

    Publications, magazines and multilingual sites where new material goes up every day and the editor is not a developer.

  • Rebuilds

    An existing site or tool that has become slow, unmaintainable or expensive to change.

03 — THE WORK

Systems people log into every morning.

The iC Consulenten employee list: every person on the system with their current status.
The same timesheet system on a phone: project analytics with hours per employee.

04 — THE OTHER HALF OF WHAT WE DO

Most of our work is not a build at all.

River~Code is an operations automation studio. The larger part of what we do is removing the manual steps between tools a company already pays for — the re-typing, the chasing, the spreadsheet three people maintain by hand.

If that is closer to your problem than a new site or app, start on the main site instead. Same team, same engineers, different starting point.

river-code.com
  • Quotes and invoices that fill themselves in
  • Handovers that stop living in someone's inbox
  • Reports that build overnight instead of on Friday
  • Systems that already exist, finally talking to each other

05 — HOW IT GOES

Four stages. You keep something after each one.

  1. 01

    Scope

    One call, then a written scope with a price and a date. Free.

    YOU WALK AWAY WITH

    The scope document itself — the plan, the price and the date, yours to keep whether you hire us or not.

  2. 02

    Design

    You see real screens, not a mood board. Two rounds of changes included.

    YOU WALK AWAY WITH

    Every screen, drawn — signed off before a line of it is built.

  3. 03

    Build

    We build against the scope, in the open, with nothing held back.

    YOU WALK AWAY WITH

    Your repository from day one, and a working link at the end of every week — not a status email.

  4. 04

    Launch

    We deploy it and hand over every key, account and credential.

    YOU WALK AWAY WITH

    The whole thing, running — plus us on call for 30 days after it goes live.

06 — PRICE

Published, so you can decide before you talk to us.

Prices and durations
Landing page $1,500from 1 week
Marketing site up to 8 pages $3,500–5,0003–4 weeks
Web app or internal tool from $7,000from 4 weeks
Ongoing changes, hosting, monitoring $800/month3-month minimum

FIXED PRICE

For work with a defined scope. Agreed in writing before we start. If the scope changes we re-quote in writing before doing the work — you are never billed for a surprise.

HOURLY

For what a brief cannot predict: changes past the agreed scope, ongoing improvements, and open-ended work where a fixed number would only be a guess. Rate agreed before we start, logged and reported per task.

07 — WHY THIS INSTEAD OF AN AGENCY

Why this instead of an agency

  • CLEAR PRICE.Fixed or hourly, agreed in writing before work starts.
  • FIXED DATE.In the same document.
  • YOUR CODE.In your repository, from the first commit.
  • WEEKLY DEMO.A working link every Friday, not a status email.
  • ONE TEAM.The people who build it are the people you talk to.

A small senior team — engineers, design and QA who have shipped together. No account manager, no ticket queue, no handover to someone you have not met.
