Code Shack Labs designs and builds dependable software for organizations that need a small, senior team rather than a big vendor. Every project gets the care we would put into our own house.
Software that does one job well, for the people who have to use it every day. We keep the scope honest, the code plain, and the handover complete.
| Ref | Service | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| A-1.1 | Custom web applications |
Browser-based software built around your actual workflow: intake, review, approval, reporting. No plugins to install, nothing to keep patched on a hundred desktops. Fits when a spreadsheet, a paper form, or an aging system is doing work it was never meant to do. |
| A-1.2 | Internal tools and workflows |
The small, sharp tools that save a team hours a week: calculators, checklists, trackers, converters, dashboards. Built fast, documented, and easy to hand to whoever comes next. Fits when the fix is obvious but nobody has time to build it properly. |
| A-1.3 | Data formatting and reporting |
Tools that take the data you already have and produce the exact layout a regulator, a partner, or another system requires. Our recent work includes an FDA submission formatter that runs entirely in the browser and never uploads a file. Fits when a required format is costing you days of hand editing, or when the data cannot leave your building. |
| A-1.4 | Technical consultation |
Planning, review, and a second opinion before you commit. We help you decide whether to buy, build, or wait, and we write down the reasoning so the decision holds up later. Fits when you have a vendor quote in hand and want someone on your side of the table to read it. |
Four steps, in this order, every time. You know what is happening and what it costs before anything is built.
A conversation about the job, the people doing it, and what a good outcome looks like. We look at the spreadsheets, the forms, and the system you are working around today.
You get a written summary of what we heard and the questions we still have.
A plan you can read: what the tool will do, what it will not do, how long it takes, and what it costs. Nothing starts until you have signed it.
You get a quote with line items and a scope you can hold us to.
Working software early and often, so you can react to the real thing instead of a mockup. Short updates as we go, and a running copy you can try at any point.
You get a link to the current build and a plain-language note each week.
Deployment, documentation, and the source code, in your accounts and under your name. We stay reachable afterward, but you never need us to keep the lights on.
You get the keys, the drawings, and a walkthrough.
Measure twice, ship once.
Real tools in daily use. Names of clients are shared with their permission only, so some are described by industry.
Release-test spreadsheets from the bench had to be reshaped by hand into the FDA's SAS transport layout for every study. We built a browser tool that reads the workbook, pivots it, runs the consistency checks, and produces the required file. It makes no network requests, so regulated data never leaves the machine.
Read the caseThe quoting tool we use on every engagement, built the same way we build for clients. Line items, saved customers, standard deductions, print-ready PDF output, and a backup you keep with your own files. Nothing is stored on a server.
Read the caseSolid code.Small crew.Your roof.
No account manager relaying questions. The person you brief is the person who builds, tests, and ships it.
Every engagement starts with a signed quote. Scope changes are quoted separately, before the work, not discovered on the invoice.
Source code, hosting accounts, documentation, domain. It all lives under your name from day one, so you are never locked in to us.
