SolidTech

We make web and software projects easier, faster and less expensive — by combining engineering craftsmanship with AI-assisted tooling and automation.

SolidTech is a web development & software engineering studio focused on accelerating product delivery without sacrificing quality. We build production-ready websites, web apps, APIs and backend systems — and we augment conventional engineering with reusable scaffolding, developer automation, and AI-powered workflows so teams ship more with less effort.

What we do (short summary)

SolidTech reduces time-to-market and development cost by standardizing engineering patterns, automating repetitive work, and applying AI where it produces measurable efficiency (code generation, tests, CI maintenance, content scaffolding). We deliver reliable software that is easy to operate and simple to extend.

Who this is for

Startups that need a reliable engineering partner to reach product-market fit quickly.
SMEs that want to modernize legacy web systems with predictable budgets.
Enterprises seeking internal developer tooling, automation, and proof-of-concept rollouts.
Agencies and consultancies that need a technical delivery arm for complex client work.

What we cover

The engineering work is organised around the same five capabilities as the rest of the practice — see Services for what each one produces and how long it takes.

How SolidTech works — our 4-step delivery model

Align (Discovery — 1–2 weeks) We clarify goals, success metrics, and constraints. Deliver: prioritized backlog, architecture sketch, and a 4–8 week pilot plan.
Scaffold (Automation & Prototype — 2–4 weeks) We generate initial project scaffolding (auth, routing, test harness, CI), produce a working prototype, and embed developer automation so future changes are fast.
Build (Iterative Sprints — 4–12+ weeks) Short, value-focused sprints delivering incremental features with tests and observability baked in. Frequent demos and measurable acceptance criteria.
Operate (Handover & Continuous Improvement) Handover documentation, runbooks, and optional retainers for SRE, feature velocity, and AI-assisted maintenance (auto-generated tests, dependency updates).

Typical timelines & cost orientation

Landing page / brochure site: 1–3 weeks — small fixed fee.
MVP / SaaS prototype: 6–12 weeks — milestone-based pricing.
Complex web platform (marketplace / dashboards): 3–6 months — phased delivery.
Internal tooling & SDKs: 4–8 weeks — scope dependent.

We favor hybrid pricing: a fixed-fee discovery sprint, followed by milestone billing for delivery, and optional monthly retainers for operations.

Technology & tooling (representative)

Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Vite, PWAs
Backend: Node.js (Nest/Express), Go, Python (FastAPI)
Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB (depending on access patterns)
DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions / GitLab CI
Storage & CDN: S3-compatible, Cloudflare, IPFS (for Web3 assets)
Testing & QA: Jest, Playwright, Cypress, automated accessibility checks
AI & automation: LLM-assisted code generation, test generation, docs (with human QA)

If you have existing preferences, we adapt to them — we won’t force a stack change unless it creates clear long-term benefits.

What makes SolidTech different

Engineering-first automation: We eliminate repetitive work (scaffolding, boilerplate, test generation) so your team focuses on product logic.
AI with guardrails: We use AI where it saves time — then apply strict review, tests and security checks.
Operational completeness: Projects are delivered with infrastructure, monitoring and runbooks; no half-finished handoffs.
Cost predictability: Discovery sprints produce a clear scope and milestone-based pricing to avoid scope creep.

Measurable outcomes we commit to

Time-to-first-deploy for MVP (target: 4–8 weeks)
Test coverage increase (e.g., +40% unit coverage baseline)
Reduction in mean time to recover (MTTR) for production incidents
Faster feature cycle time (e.g., 30–50% faster through automation)
Hosting & infra cost targets (ops cost per user, as applicable)

Deliverables you receive

Project charter & prioritized backlog
Production-ready codebase with tests and CI/CD
Infrastructure-as-Code and deployment scripts
Documentation: API spec (OpenAPI), developer onboarding, runbooks
Security checklist & audit-ready artifact set
Handover training session (or ongoing retainer support)

Example outcomes (illustrative)

Reduced development cost by automating component generation and test scaffolding.
Faster onboarding of new engineers via well-documented SDKs and templates.
Production launches with less downtime and clearer rollback procedures.

(These are general results we target; specific ROI figures depend on project scope and current baseline.)

Pricing models we use

Discovery Sprint (fixed) — 1–2 weeks to align scope and produce a pilot plan.
Milestone Delivery (fixed-price per milestone) — predictable payments for defined features.
Time & Materials (retainer) — for long-term development or when requirements evolve.
Managed Services (monthly retainer) — monitoring, ops, security patches, dependency upkeep and AI-assisted maintenance.

FAQ (short)

Q: Do you rewrite legacy systems? A: Yes — we design migration plans that preserve data integrity and minimize downtime, often using strangler pattern approaches.
Q: How do you use AI safely in development? A: AI is used to generate scaffolding, tests, and documentation. Every AI output is code-reviewed, tested and passed through CI before merging.
Q: Who owns the code? A: Ownership is defined in the contract. Default: client owns source code and deliverables upon final payment, unless otherwise agreed.
Q: What about security audits? A: We include internal security reviews and coordinate third-party audits when required. We also support bug-bounty programs and incident playbooks.
Q: How do we start? A: Book a discovery sprint — we’ll deliver a clear plan, timeline, and fixed-fee estimate for the next phase.
