Senior Kentico development without the agency overhead.

Expert Xperience by Kentico development delivered in weeks, not months. Widgets, content types, migrations, and architecture consulting at a fraction of agency cost.

No commitment. We'll assess your needs and recommend the right approach.

Weeks, Not Months

Typical agency timelines run 3-6 months. We deliver production-ready Kentico code in days to weeks. Same quality, radically faster.

Up to 75% Less Than Agencies

No account managers, no juniors learning on the job, no overhead. You pay for senior expertise and production code. That's it.

Senior Architect Access

Direct access to a senior Kentico architect who's built dozens of XbyK implementations. Architecture decisions, not just code.

Services

Everything you need for Xperience by Kentico.

From a single widget to a complete platform migration. We handle the full spectrum of Kentico development.

Based on the assessment, we'll recommend the right package. You'll know the exact cost upfront. No estimates that balloon, no change orders. Pay and we start immediately.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How can you be so much cheaper than an agency?
Agencies carry overhead: account managers, project managers, office space, junior developers learning on the job at senior rates. We're a Kentico Community Leader Award-winning architect backed by modern AI-driven development tooling that lets us deliver production-quality code significantly faster. You're paying for expertise and output, not headcount.
What version of Kentico do you work with?
We specialize in Xperience by Kentico (the current platform). We also handle migrations from Kentico Xperience 13 to XbyK. We don't work with Kentico 12 or earlier versions.
Do you work with our existing codebase?
Yes. During the assessment call, we'll discuss your project structure, naming conventions, and existing patterns. Code we deliver follows your conventions and drops into your solution. For larger packages, we can work directly in your repository.
How fast is delivery?
Single widgets: within 24 hours. Widget packs: 3-5 business days. Site sections: 2-3 weeks. Full site builds: 4-8 weeks. KX13 migrations: 4-6 weeks. These are actual delivery times, not "we'll start scoping in two weeks" agency timelines.
What if the scope turns out to be larger than expected?
That's what the free assessment is for — we scope it accurately before you pay anything. If something unexpected comes up during the project, we'll discuss it openly and give you options. No surprise invoices.
I already have an agency. Why would I use this?
We're not here to replace your agency. Many clients use us for specific needs their agency is too slow or expensive for: a quick widget build, a second opinion on architecture, migration planning, or overflow work when their agency is at capacity. We complement, not compete.
