01 — Studio
A small senior team that ships in week one.
We design, build and market digital products for founders and growing companies. No agency layers, no offshore relays — just senior engineers, designers and marketers working in tight weekly loops.
01
Senior
Only senior people on the work — no juniors learning on your dime.
02
Weekly
Live demo and decision call every Friday — no surprises at month-end.
03
Yours
You own the code, IP and runbooks from commit one. No vendor lock-in.
Avg. time to first ship
7 days
What we do
Three disciplines. One team.
Software, websites and digital marketing — designed and shipped by the same senior crew so the strategy, the build and the launch are one conversation.
04 — Selected work
Real software, in production.
A slice of recent engagements — websites, products and platforms shipped for founders, operators and growth-stage teams. Click any card for more.

View all workFour principles, every engagement.
Not slides for pitch decks — the operating rules we hire, staff and run engagements by.
01
Outcomes, not output.
Measured by what shipped, what stuck and what compounded — not hours billed.
02
Seniors in the room.
No juniors learning on your dime. The people writing the code are in your standup.
03
Production from week one.
Real telemetry, real users, real pressure — that's how we find the truth fast.
04
Boring tools, sharp opinions.
Proven, type-safe stacks. Novelty is reserved for the parts that earn it.
Why us
Senior. Weekly. Honest.
The fundamentals that show up in every engagement we run.

Senior, end-to-end
No juniors, no agency middle layers. You talk directly to the people writing the code, designing the screens and running the campaigns.
Weekly, not theatrical
A working demo every Friday. Decisions in writing, not in meetings. We measure the work in shipped slices, not story points.
Honest about price
Transparent weekly burn, fixed-price discovery, pause or scale any time. No surprises in the invoice, no scope drift.
How we work
A thin slice in week one. Compounding from there.
No 90-day discovery decks. Something real ships in week one and every week after.
01
Discover
Week 0–1
Pressure-test the problem.
We embed with your team for a focused discovery sprint. We map the constraints, talk to your users, audit the existing stack and align on the single metric that matters. You leave the week with a written brief, an honest risk log, and a thin-slice plan you can show your CFO and your CTO.
Deliverables
- Discovery brief
- Risk register
- Thin-slice scope
- Timeline & budget
02
Design
Week 1–3
Make the invisible visible.
Lo-fi prototypes, system diagrams, API contracts and a clickable journey through the most critical flows. We design with engineering present so what we draw is what we'll ship — no surprises in handoff, no UI debt in the backlog.
Deliverables
- Clickable prototype
- System architecture
- API & data model
- Design tokens
03
Build
Week 3–N
Production from day one.
Real code in real environments with real telemetry — from the first PR. Weekly demos, async standups, decision docs. Feature flags and preview environments mean you ship to staged users continuously and de-risk launch day before it arrives.
Deliverables
- Weekly demos
- CI/CD + preview envs
- Telemetry & evals
- Decision docs
04
Compound
Post-launch
Hand it off, or scale with us.
We measure, iterate and either hand the system to your in-house team — fully documented, fully operable — or stay on as a force multiplier. Either way, the IP, the roadmap and the institutional knowledge live with you.
Deliverables
- Runbooks
- Knowledge transfer
- Support SLA
- Roadmap review
What our clients say
“Octava shipped a production AI feature in six weeks that our internal team had been scoping for nine months. They operate like part of the company, not a vendor — opinions in writing, demos every Friday, and a calm deploy on launch day.”

FAQ
Common questions, straight answers.
Don't see yours? Drop us a line — we usually reply within one business day.
We start with a paid one-week discovery — fixed scope, fixed price. You get a written brief, a thin-slice plan and an honest risk log. From there, most engagements run as month-to-month retainers with a small, dedicated team (usually 2–4 senior people).
