Stack you inherit
Code you can read, own, run.
Not a black box you have to maintain a relationship with us to use.
02Own.
Yours, not rented
Source on your GitHub org, infra on your accounts, secrets in your vault. Nothing held hostage.
03Run.
Boring infra on purpose
CI on every PR and a written runbook for the 2 a.m. page. Your team can run it without calling us.
How we work
Six steps from brief to launch.
Predictable on the outside, lots of judgment on the inside.
- 01Weeks 1–2
Shaping
Two weeks where we get embedded with your team, not enough to design the whole thing, just enough to understand the problem and propose three shapes for solving it. We come out the other side with a fixed scope and a timeline you can plan around.
- Stakeholder + user interviews
- Existing-system audit
- Three shaped solutions
- Fixed-scope proposal
- 02Weeks 3–6
Design & prototype
Information architecture, end-to-end flows, hi-fi prototypes for the critical paths. We test those prototypes with real users before any code gets written. Cheaper to find problems in Figma than in production.
- Full IA + flows
- Hi-fi designs (every state)
- Prototype tested with 5+ users
- Component library v1
- 03Weeks 5–18
Build
Two-week sprints with a real demo at the end of each. You see working software the same week we make it. The team is the team, same five or six people from kickoff to launch, no offshore handoffs.
- Two-week sprint cadence
- Working demo every two weeks
- PR-based code review
- Test coverage on critical paths
- 04Weeks 16–22
Hardening & QA
Performance work, accessibility audit, security review, end-to-end test suite. Real-data dress rehearsal in staging. We don't go live until the rehearsal is clean.
- WCAG 2.2 AA audit + fixes
- Load + performance testing
- Security review
- Staging dress rehearsal
- 05Weeks 22–24
Launch & runbook
Cutover plan, on-call rota for the first 30 days, written runbook for everything we built. Your team takes the wheel knowing exactly what's where and who to call when something goes sideways.
- Documented runbook
- 30 days of on-call
- Knowledge transfer sessions
- Source code + infra handoff
- 06Ongoing
Iterate or hand off
After launch we either continue as your engineering partner on a quarterly cadence, or hand off cleanly to your in-house team. We've done both, and we'll tell you honestly which is right for you.
- Quarterly retainer (optional)
- Hiring support if going in-house
- Architecture office hours
- Yearly tech-debt review

Frequently asked.
Everything teams ask before kicking off a App Development in Galena engagement.
Still have a question?
Email a partner directly, no SDRs, no chatbots, no marketing list. Just a straight answer from someone who does the work.
- First reply within one business day
- A partner answers, never an SDR
- Happy to sign an NDA before we talk
Do you offer app development services in Galena, OH?
Yes. Final Orbit is based in nearby Powell and works with Galena businesses throughout Delaware County. Most app development engagements run remote-first, with on-site working sessions whenever they help.
What does app development cost for a Galena business?
App Development engagements start at $80k. We scope every Galena project to the goal rather than a fixed package, so you'll get a clear, milestone-based quote before any work begins.
What kinds of Galena businesses do you work with?
We work with Professional Services, Healthcare, and Retail organizations and growing local brands across Galena and Delaware County, from first websites and brand systems to multi-quarter growth programs.
What stack do you build on?
Default is Next.js + TypeScript on the front, Node + Postgres on the back, deployed on Vercel and a managed Postgres provider. We use other stacks when there's a reason, but we won't pick a tool because it's trendy.
Do you do mobile (iOS / Android)?
We focus on responsive web apps and PWAs, which cover most use cases. For true native iOS / Android, we partner with a small set of specialists we trust and project-manage end-to-end.
Can you migrate us off our current platform?
Yes. We've done WordPress → Next.js, Salesforce → custom, Airtable + Zapier → real platform, and a half-dozen others. We always start with a data audit and a phased cutover plan.
Who owns the code?
You do, end to end. Source on your GitHub org, infra on your accounts, secrets in your vault. We don't hold anything hostage.
What happens after launch?
30 to 90 days of active on-call (depending on tier), then either a quarterly retainer or a clean hand-off. We've done both. We'll tell you honestly which fits your team.
Do you do compliance work (SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR)?
We can build to and document for those standards. We're not your auditor or your legal counsel, but we'll work alongside them and we won't make their lives miserable.
How do you handle scope changes?
Two-week sprints with a clear weekly demo. If scope shifts, we replan together, usually trading something out, not piling on. We've never had to file a change order.
