Taking on new projects

Web software for businesses that run on it.

I design and build websites, web apps and SaaS products, from the first conversation to production and the maintenance after.

Selected work

Products I've built and run myself, end to end: design, code, hosting and support.

01 · Public safety SaaS

Chirp

Critical incident chat for law enforcement and emergency response. Agencies spin up a secure, single-use channel for each incident, invite partners by link, and close it when it's over.

  • Multi-agency isolation with per-agency admins and invites
  • Live subject record shared beside the chat
  • ALPR and vendor integrations routed into channels
  • Access control and audit logging aligned with CJIS

02 · Consumer directory

HeatBuddy

A heating oil price directory for the Northeast. Homeowners search by city or county, compare community-reported prices from local dealers, and call the best one directly. No account needed.

  • 250+ dealers across 10 states
  • Daily price reports, comparisons and trends
  • Free dealer listings dealers can claim and manage
  • Rebuilt from a native app into a fast web platform

Next.js · Supabase · Tailwind · Vercel

What I can build for you

One developer from start to finish, with no hand-offs and no account managers. You talk to the person writing the code.

01

Websites

Fast, accessible sites for small businesses, built to rank, convert and be easy to update.

  • Marketing and service-business sites
  • Booking, quote and contact flows
  • SEO foundations and analytics
  • Content you can edit yourself

02

Web apps & SaaS

Custom software for the way your business actually works, from internal tools to products you sell.

  • Accounts, roles and multi-tenant data
  • Dashboards and admin panels
  • Payments and subscriptions
  • APIs and third-party integrations

03

Support & consulting

Keeping what you already have healthy, or a second opinion before you commit.

  • Hosting, updates and monitoring
  • Performance and security reviews
  • Stack and architecture advice
  • Rescuing stalled projects

Usually built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Supabase, Postgres, Stripe and Vercel.

How a project runs

  1. Step 1

    Talk it through

    We go over your goals, your users and your budget. You get a straight answer on what's worth building.

  2. Step 2

    Agree on the plan

    A written scope, timeline and price before any code is written.

  3. Step 3

    Build in the open

    Regular check-ins and a live preview link, so you see progress as it happens.

  4. Step 4

    Launch and support

    Deployment, hand-off, and ongoing help once real people are using it.

A small studio, on purpose.

Ten Eight Studios is me, Rob. I'm a developer who builds and runs my own software, and I build it for clients the same way. I'd rather ship something reliable and simple than something impressive that breaks.
