Best on a
bigger screen.
This site is a working CRT television. The full set — dials, faders, and the aux screen — only powers on for a desktop or laptop. You’ll get the short version down here.
We build apps and websites that actually ship, and ours are the proof.
A small Birmingham team that designs, builds, and launches real software, then keeps it alive. Our own app, Crier, is live in both stores with thousands of people using it.

A nightlife & events app: discovery, listings and ticketing for a city’s music and culture scene, designed and built end to end.

A self-serve private karaoke room: book and pay in the app, and a time-bound door code lets you in — no host, no key. We built it end to end: the app, the payments, and the door.

Safety-compliance software for bars and nightclubs: it turns a dense venue-safety ordinance into guided plans, training logs, and nightly checklists, so proof is one tap away.

A civic news & explainer app that makes local government legible: clean reading, clear structure, calm design.

Algorithmic pricing-compliance, automated: eight peer-reviewed tests turn dense antitrust rules into audit-ready reports, in minutes not months.

A marketplace for booking professional game masters — D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, any system, online or in person. Players pay and the fee stays with the GM, not a middleman.

The foundation for everything we ship. Product thinking, interface design, and a visual system that survives contact with real development, drawn in Figma and carried straight through to production.
Web and mobile, built end to end. Next.js on the web, React Native on iOS and Android, one team carrying the product from empty repo to the app stores.
The part nobody sees and everybody feels. FastAPI services, databases modeled around the product, and the scrapers and pipelines that keep an app full of real, current data.
Where the software meets the real world. Payments, subscriptions, messaging, maps, and the occasional keyless door. We built a karaoke room that unlocks itself.
Shipping is the job, not the finish line. Store submissions, deploys, analytics, and the unglamorous upkeep most studios skip, so what we build stays built.
Process
The same framework on every project, sized to fit it. Enough structure to stay on track, enough freedom to chase the good ideas.
We start by understanding the goal: who it is for, what it has to do, and what done looks like. Quick calls, honest scoping, and a plan we both believe before any design or code.
Outcome:A clear brief, a scoped build list, and a number you can budget against.
Wireframes become real screens fast. We design in Figma with production in mind, so the thing you approve is the thing that gets built, motion and all.
Outcome:A clickable design you can react to, and a system that is ready to build.
Design and development in one room. Front-end, backend, and the integrations, assembled in short cycles you can see running every week.
Outcome:Working software on real devices, not screenshots of it.
Store submissions, deploys, analytics, and a calm first week in production. Then the upkeep most studios skip: we planned for it.
Outcome:A live product with real support, and a roadmap for what comes next.
Co-Founder / Design
The one who makes it all look good and feel right. Chris has been designing for the web since 2007; now it’s the whole product, drawn in Figma and built out front-end himself, so nothing’s lost between the mockup and your screen. Tattoos, video games, 50+ brands: all came across his desk first. Nerd at heart, which is exactly why it works.
Co-Founder / Engineering
The one who makes Code Boys go. Josh builds the backends, the data pipelines, the systems everything else runs on. A lot of them, across a wild spread of problems: a live-events app, a civic-transparency tool, a keyless door for a karaoke room. If we can dream it up, he builds it.
Social Media / Growth
The one who makes sure the right people are watching. Mary runs social media and growth for Code Boys: the content, the channels, and the numbers behind them, turning launches into audiences that stick around. If it’s worth shipping, it’s worth an audience, and she goes and builds it one.
Studio Cat / Morale
The one who supervises every deploy from the top of the monitor. Pizza has been here since day one, reviewing pull requests by sitting on the keyboard, stress-testing each chair, and calling lunch at 4:59 sharp. Undefeated against the red dot, naps through standups, and is still somehow the most agreed-with member of the team.
