Active projects
What we build
Complete systems, front end and back end, on Softr + Airtable.
Custom client portal development, shipped in weeks
$2,500A client portal is a secure, branded login area where your clients access their own files, track project status, and message your team. Each account sees only its own records. Built on Softr + Airtable it runs under your domain, so clients never see a third-party tool.
- White-labeled client login on your own custom domain
- Role-based permissions so each client sees only their data
- File sharing, status tracking, and in-portal messaging
One-time · 10-day deliveryRead moreCustom internal tools & CRMs your team actually uses
$2,500A custom internal tool is software built around how your team already works: a CRM, project tracker, or operations dashboard shaped to your process rather than the other way around. Built on Softr + Airtable, your team can change fields and views afterwards without a developer.
- Custom CRM, project tracker, or operations dashboard
- Automations that remove manual data entry and hand-offs
- Integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Slack, and more
One-time · 10-day deliveryRead moreMarketplace & membership platform development
$5,500A no-code marketplace is a multi-sided platform (buyers, sellers, and admins) built without custom engineering. Listings, search, role-based access, Stripe payments, and gated member content are assembled on Softr + Airtable, so it launches in weeks rather than months and you own the data.
- Two-sided or multi-sided marketplace with distinct user roles
- Listings, search, and filtering your members can browse
- Stripe payments, subscriptions, and member-only gated content
One-time · 3-week deliveryRead moreMVP development sprints: live in 14 days
$4,500An MVP sprint is a fixed 14-day build that turns one core workflow into a live product with real logins and real data, not a clickable mockup. It exists to prove the idea with users or investors, on a stack you can keep scaling on afterwards.
- A live, demo-ready product in 14 days, not a clickable mockup
- Real data, real logins, real workflows you can put in front of users
- Built on a stack you can keep scaling on after validation

Airtable services
The data layer on its own, for teams who need the base right before anything gets built on top of it, or instead of it.
Airtable database design that scales past the spreadsheet
Airtable database design is the structuring of your tables, fields, and links before anything is built on top of them. It decides what Airtable can do for you later: a base modelled correctly supports permissions, automations, and a portal front end, while a base built like a spreadsheet blocks all three.

- A data model structured to support row-level permissions later
- Rollups, formulas, and computed fields your team can read and change
Airtable automation that removes the manual work
Airtable automation runs the repetitive steps your team currently does by hand: creating records, sending notifications, updating statuses, and moving data between Airtable and other tools. Airtable's built-in automations cover simple cases; Make or Zapier handle multi-step logic, error handling, and anything crossing several systems.

- Integrations with Stripe, Slack, HubSpot, QuickBooks, DocuSign, and more
- Error handling and retries, so a failed run surfaces instead of vanishing
Spreadsheet to Airtable migration, without the downtime
A spreadsheet migration is a redesign, not an import. The sheet's rows become linked tables, its formulas become rollups or automations, and its tabs become views. Importing a spreadsheet as-is produces an Airtable base with a spreadsheet's problems, so the structure is decided first and the data moved second.
Read more$2,50010-day delivery- An Airtable base designed around your data, not a flat import of it
- Data migrated, de-duplicated, and reconciled against the original
- Formulas rebuilt as rollups, lookups, or automations
Softr Developer for Custom Business Apps & Client Portals
A Softr developer designs and builds web apps on Softr — client portals, internal tools, CRMs and marketplaces — along with the data model, user roles and permissions behind them. Most pair Softr with Airtable as the back end and wire in payments, automations and third-party integrations.

- An Airtable data model built to scale past the prototype
- Role-based permissions so each user only ever sees their own records
Airtable Developer for Database Design, Automation & Custom Workflows
An Airtable developer designs the base behind a business system: the tables, relationships, formulas and rollups, plus the automations and API integrations that keep it current. Done well, the schema is what lets a front end like Softr show each user only their own records.
Read more$2,50010-day delivery- An Airtable base with a schema built to grow, and documented well enough to hand over
- Automations that remove the manual re-keying, the chasing and the reminders
- API integrations with the tools you already pay for
Softr + Airtable Developer: One Team for the Base and the App
A Softr + Airtable developer builds both halves of the same system — the Airtable base that stores and relates the data, and the Softr app your users log into. One team owning both means the schema is designed for the interface it has to serve, rather than reverse-engineered into it later.

- An Airtable schema designed for the interface it has to serve
- A white-labeled Softr app on your own custom domain

Questions
Choosing between them
The questions that come up once you have seen the list. Anything specific to one service is answered on that service's own page.
- Which of these services do I actually need?
- If people outside your company need to log in and see only their own records, you need a portal, so start with client portals or marketplaces. If the problem is your own team's process, start with internal tools. If you are validating an idea and need something demo-ready fast, start with an MVP sprint. If the data itself is the problem, the Airtable services cover the base on its own. Not sure, take the two-minute fit check or describe the problem and we will tell you which one fits.
- Do I have to choose between Softr and Airtable?
- No, and most projects need both. Airtable is the data layer, the schema, the automations and the migrations. Softr is the front end people log into. The Airtable services exist for teams who need the base right before anything gets built on top of it, or instead of it. It is the same three builders either way, so nothing is handed between vendors.
- What does a build cost?
- Every engagement is a fixed price agreed before work starts. Packages run from $2,500 for a single-role portal to $9,000+ for marketplaces and complex logic, with MVP sprints and internal tools in between. You get the number in writing within 24 hours of the first conversation, and there is no hourly billing on any of it.
- How long does a build take?
- Between 10 days and 8 weeks depending on scope. A single-role portal ships in 10 days, an MVP sprint in 14, a multi-role portal with integrations in about 3 weeks, and a marketplace or a phased rollout in 4 to 8. The date is fixed alongside the price before work starts, not estimated as we go.
- Who owns what you build?
- You do. You own the Airtable base and everything else we build, on your own accounts and your own domain. Every package also includes 14 days of free post-launch bug-fixes, and optional retainers start at $500/month afterwards if you want ongoing work.
Not sure yet
Not sure which one you need?
Describe the problem and we'll tell you which of these fits, or tell you that none of them do. That's a cheaper conversation for both of us than the alternative.
