Web & App Development for founders

You build the brand. We build and run the app.

As a founder, your time belongs to your brand, your customers and your growth, not to servers and code. Share your idea, and our team handles the design, development, hosting, maintenance and support. Your app is live in 2 to 6 weeks, for a setup fee and one monthly fee.

What we build

From a single tool on your site to a full product

Websites that do something, not just sit there. We build with modern, proven tech that is fast, secure and easy to grow.

AI tools for your site

Turn a content site into a product people come back to: generators, readers, calculators and assistants.

e.g. an AI tarot reader, a prompt builder

SaaS and dashboards

Sign-up, plans, payments, user dashboards and admin panels for an idea you want to sell.

e.g. a reporting tool for your clients

Client portals

A private area where your customers order, upload files, track progress and pay invoices.

e.g. order tracking for a service business

Booking and directories

Appointment booking, listings with search and filters, reviews and member areas.

e.g. a local services directory

Mobile-friendly web apps

Apps that install from the browser on any phone, with no app store wait, built from one codebase.

e.g. a habit tracker or members app

Internal tools

Replace spreadsheets and copy-paste work with a simple tool your team actually uses.

e.g. an order or content workflow

How you pay

A setup fee and one monthly fee. The tech is on us.

Setup from $500 Monthly from $200

Most custom apps ask for the full budget up front, before you have seen anything work. Our retainer spreads the cost out, and the same team keeps your app running and improving after launch.

What's included

Monthly retainer

You focus on your brand and your customers. We take care of the app, from the first design to keeping it online.

  • Design: screens and user flow planned with you
  • Development: the app built and live in 2–6 weeks
  • Hosting and infrastructure: servers, domain setup, SSL and backups
  • Maintenance: security and software updates, bug fixes, uptime checks
  • Support: changes and help whenever you need it

Ask a question

Same app, different cash flow

With a retainer, most of your budget is spent after the app is already live and earning, not before.

How it works

From idea to a live app, without touching any code

  1. Share your idea

    Tell us the idea in plain words. We turn it into a short plan with features, timeline, setup fee and monthly fee.

  2. Setup and design

    After the setup fee, we design the screens and agree with you on what ships first. We make every technical decision.

  3. Build and launch

    You see progress every week. Your app goes live on your domain in 2 to 6 weeks.

  4. You grow, we keep it running

    You spend your time on the brand and customers. We host, maintain and improve the app, month after month.

Built by people who run their own apps

We build and operate our own software, too

IM Powerhouse has worked with online businesses since 2010. The same team that builds client apps also builds and runs our own products every day.

  • SearchReach, our rank tracking SaaS with accounts, plans, payments and map grid scans.
  • Client portals and report sites we use with our own SEO clients.
  • Built with search in mind, so your app is fast and easy for Google to understand from day one.

FAQ

Questions about the retainer

Anything else? Ask us during your free planning call.

Do I need to know anything about design or code?

No. You share the idea and tell us what the app should do. We handle the design, the code, the servers and everything technical.

How long until my app is live?

Between 2 and 6 weeks, depending on how complex it is. A single tool takes about 2 weeks. An app with accounts, payments or AI features takes longer.

How long is the contract?

The first contract is 6 months. After that it continues month to month, and you can stop at the end of any month.

What does the monthly fee include?

Hosting, infrastructure, backups, security and software updates, bug fixes and support. Small changes are included. Large new features are quoted first, and we never add costs without your OK.

Who owns the app?

Your data and your domain always belong to you, and you can export your data at any time. The source code stays with us while you are on the retainer. If you want the code, for example to move to another team, you can buy it out with a one-time code fee.

How is the price decided?

Plans start at $500 setup and $200 per month. The final price depends on how complex the app is: the number of features, user roles, payments, AI and outside services. You get a written plan with the setup fee and the monthly fee before anything starts.

Can you add a tool to my existing website?

Yes. Many projects start as one tool on a site you already have, such as a WordPress blog, and grow from there.
