Websites, apps, and content. Built for your business, not a million businesses.

Hi there,

Most software today is built for a million businesses. Yours probably isn’t one of them.

Ever since I started producing video, I’ve been building things on the side. Websites. Mockups in Figma. A notebook full of apps I wanted to exist: a time tracker, a writing tool, a dozen others. I knew HTML and CSS and a bit of JavaScript, but past that, the web was a foreign country. The ideas sat.

Then AI showed up, and suddenly I could build them. Real sites, tied to real databases. Frontend work for clients. Mobile apps. These days I’m deep in product leadership at a Seattle startup, and the same craft goes into every app we build here.

Something is shifting, and I don’t think most people have caught up to it yet. SaaS, as we know it, is built for everyone, which means it’s built for no one in particular. Feature bloat. Compliance overhead. The thing you asked for three years ago that still isn’t shipped. Half your team back in Excel doing the workarounds. You know the shape of it.

We’re entering an era where a small team can build you the real thing. Not just a website that fits your brand, but the software that fits your work. That’s what changed with AI: custom used to stop at your website, because real software took a real engineering department. It doesn’t anymore. So that’s where Sandpiper fits. We design and build custom sites, keep them running, fill them with photo and video, and when an off-the-shelf tool doesn’t fit how your team works, we build the one that does. All for less than you’re paying your SaaS stack, and less than a full-time hire. It’s me and Justin, and between us we cover design, frontend, and backend. We still make video and run the studio too.

If any of this sounds like you, take us up on a Field Report. I’ll show up with a clipboard, walk your operation, ask a lot of questions, and leave you with something useful. It’s the part of this work I like the most.

The software built for you is out there. Let’s discover it.

P.S. We publish our pricing.
