Process
How I Work
Discovery
Understand the problem, the business, and what success actually looks like.
Strategy & Architecture
Plan the system, platforms, integrations, and structure before any code is written.
Build & Implementation
Develop clean, maintainable software on the stack that fits the job.
Launch & Improve
Deploy, monitor, and continue improving the system as your business grows.
Clients
Who This Is For
Built for teams that need the work done right the first time.

You have an idea or an early product — I can help you build the real thing.

Manual workflows slowing you down? I can build the internal tools that replace them.

Less agency back-and-forth. More working software, delivered clean.

What It Costs
A range up front so you can tell early whether this is worth a conversation. Builds are quoted as a fixed price once scoped; support is a flat rate.
Project Work
$3,000–$8,000typical range
Where most builds land, depending on scope.
- Scoped before anything is quoted
- Fixed price you approve before work starts
- Smaller, tightly scoped work can come in under
Care Plan
$99/ month
Optional ongoing cover once a site is live. Day-to-day content stays yours to edit.
- Hosting, SSL and uptime monitoring
- Dependency and security updates
- Priority support
Shopify and WordPress builds are hosted by your platform; everything else here still applies.
Small Changes
$125/ hour
One-off tasks and minor tweaks beyond the Care Plan.
- Quoted up front, not after
- Billed only for the time used
- Anything past ~10 hours becomes a fixed-price package
No retainers you can't leave, and no hourly meter running on a build. Tell me what you need and I'll come back with a number.

About
Who I Am
I'm Jacob Cain, a web developer and systems engineer in Cincinnati, Ohio. I build the things businesses actually need and fix the processes around them. E-commerce stores, restaurant sites, software, tooling, and internal apps built for how your business actually runs.
Founded and ran my own Shopify retail brand for eight years, so I know what it's like to depend on tech and systems working.
I use AI-assisted workflows to move fast, but nothing ships that your security or compliance people would have a problem with.
Based in Cincinnati, working with companies nationwide.
