Custom Software Development in Seattle, WA

Custom Software Development in Seattle, WA

Web applications, client portals, dashboards and internal tools for Seattle businesses whose process does not fit off-the-shelf software.

Quick Answer: Custom Software Development for a Seattle Business

Custom software makes sense when your team is running the business on spreadsheets, email threads and three tools that do not talk to each other, and the fix is one system built around how you actually work.

You are in the right place if:

  • Your Seattle business is in software and cloud computing and the website does not show it
  • Off-the-shelf software makes you work its way
  • Customers need a portal to see orders, files or status
  • Staff retype data between systems
  • You need a dashboard pulling from several sources
  • You have an idea for a product and need it built
Every project is scoped first and quoted as a fixed price per phase after a free consultation. Book a free consultation and we will tell you honestly what your Seattle business needs.

Custom Software Development for Seattle, WA

Seattle is the home of major software, cloud computing and ecommerce companies, with aerospace, biotech, the port and a global coffee and food culture. Seattle businesses we hear from most are in software and cloud computing, ecommerce headquarters, aerospace, biotech and the port. Each of those sectors needs something different from a website, and a custom software development project for a Seattle company starts with how your customers find and choose you, not with a template.

Washington State's economy is software and cloud computing, ecommerce headquarters, aerospace and the port in the Seattle area, with agriculture and wine in the east and healthcare and education in Spokane. Washington businesses are three hours behind our office.

Seattle is on Pacific time, three hours behind our office in Mississauga, Ontario, so our working days overlap for most of the afternoon.

We are a Canadian development team working with US clients remotely over video calls, email and a shared project board. Prices are quoted in Canadian dollars, and you get a fixed, itemized quote in writing before any work begins.

Every project is handled in-house by our custom software development team, and you can see recent work in our portfolio. Reviews are on our Google Business Profile.

Custom Software Development Seattle, WA FAQs

Questions Seattle business owners ask before starting.

Ask Us Anything
How much does custom software cost for a Seattle business?
It depends entirely on scope, so we price it in phases: discovery first, then a fixed quote for the first working version. Many internal tools and portals start as a focused first phase and grow from there.
Do we own the code?
Yes. The code, the database and the hosting accounts are yours. If you ever move to another developer, they get everything.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Usually, yes. We integrate with accounting, CRM, ERP, inventory and industry-specific systems through their APIs, and we tell you early if a system cannot be connected.
Do you work with businesses in Seattle, WA?
Yes. We work with Seattle clients remotely: discovery and design reviews happen over video, you approve each stage in your browser, and seattle is on Pacific time, three hours behind our office in Mississauga, Ontario, so our working days overlap for most of the afternoon.
Are your prices in US or Canadian dollars?
Quotes are in Canadian dollars. Convert at the day's exchange rate for the US figure; the Canadian dollar has traded below the US dollar for well over a decade, so the amount in US dollars is lower. You can pay by card or bank transfer.
Do you also work elsewhere in Washington?
Yes. Besides Seattle, we work with businesses in Spokane, Tacoma, Bellevue, Vancouver and Olympia and across the rest of Washington. The process is identical wherever you are in the state.
