Four ways to work with us.

Pick the one that matches where you are. If you're not sure, tell us what you need and we'll recommend one on the first call.

How each one works

You can start with one and switch later. A review often turns into a build, and a build often turns into monthly support.

Project build

You need a product built, from plan to launch.

Good for

New products, first versions (MVPs), and rebuilds of systems that have outgrown themselves.

How it works

  1. We agree the scope, milestones and timeline in writing.
  2. We build it in stages. You can try each stage on a live link as soon as it's done.
  3. We hand over the code, the documentation and the live product.

Monthly support

Your product is live and needs ongoing work.

Good for

Live products that need new features, fixes and upkeep, without hiring a full-time team.

How it works

  1. We agree how much of our time you get each month.
  2. You decide what we work on first, from one shared list.
  3. Every week you get an update on what's done and what's next.

Engineers for your team

Your team needs more hands, or a skill it doesn't have.

Good for

Teams with a plan but not enough people, or who need AI, Web3 or mobile experience they don't have in-house.

How it works

  1. Our engineers join your chat, your code and your meetings.
  2. Their work goes through your normal review process.
  3. We document what we build, so your team can carry it on.

Review & planning

You want an expert opinion before you build.

Good for

Code you're worried about, or an idea that needs a clear plan before anyone starts building it.

How it works

  1. We review your code, or work through the idea with you.
  2. You get a written report: the risks, your options, and the plan we'd recommend.
  3. The report is yours to keep, whether or not you hire us to build it.

What you can expect on every project

  • We'll sign an NDA

    Before you share the details, if you'd like one.

  • Ownership agreed upfront

    Who owns the code is written into the contract before any work starts.

  • Direct contact

    A shared Slack or Teams channel with the people building your product.

  • Weekly updates

    A short written update or call every week, so you always know where things stand.

  • Something you can try

    Finished work goes on a live link you can click through, not just a report.

Common questions

Anything else? Email thesoftnode@gmail.com

Tell us what you need, through the contact form or on a call, and we'll recommend one. If you're unsure, Review & planning is a small first step you can decide after.

It's agreed in the contract for each project, before any work starts, so you know exactly what is handed over and when. If you need to own everything outright, tell us on the first call.

Yes. You get a shared Slack or Teams channel with the engineers building your product, and a weekly update from them.

We hand over the code, the documentation and the live product. If you'd like us to keep improving it, that's what Monthly support is for. It's not required.

We're based in Lagos and work across European and US time zones, so there's overlap for calls on both.
