What we do

From a small fix to a massive scalable app. We can handle it.

Do you need help on a small project, or do you need to build a massive scalable app? Either way, you talk to the engineers who do the work.

Infrastructure

Managing servers, scaling and load balancing. We are fluent with Amazon AWS.

How we work

Four stages, senior engineers at every one.

  1. Stage 01

    Discover

    We start with a call and a look at what you already have running. You speak with the engineers who will write the code, not an account manager.

  2. Stage 02

    Build

    Senior engineers do the work. We build for the load you expect to carry later, not only the traffic you have today.

  3. Stage 03

    Launch

    Servers, scaling and load balancing are part of the job. We put the system into production and watch it under real traffic.

  4. Stage 04

    Support

    Direct contact numbers, and immediate software and security fixes. Long engagements are normal here — some of our software has been running for well over a decade.

Our work

A few things we’ve built for ourselves.

Alongside client work, we design, build and run a few products of our own. Here are some of our internal projects, from a directory platform that has been online since 2008 to the newer tools we’re building now.

ZipLeaf

Directory platform · 2008 – today

A completely custom directory platform we built back in 2008. It took six months to build and, apart from minor tweaks, has largely remained the same since. It was built to be extremely fast and efficient with tens of millions of database records, is fully mobile-optimized, and is used by thousands of businesses across the world.

Status

Website monitoring · In beta

Status watches websites, APIs and servers from multiple regions, and can re-check a failure from other regions before it alerts you. You hear about real outages, not one flaky probe. Email and webhook alerts, public status pages and monthly uptime reports, with nothing to install.

Atrium

In development

Vault, notes and calendar in one private workspace. Atrium is still being built, and we’ll share more here soon.

Who we are

A small firm with a long track record.

We are a small software engineering firm with 10+ years of background building major web-based applications, and 15+ years of general software development experience behind that.

Software we created has been used on thousands of web sites around the world, resulting in millions of dollars of revenue generated for our clients. While we primarily work with agencies, we work with small businesses as well.

Staying small is deliberate. It keeps a senior engineer on every project and keeps the line between you and the work short.

How we got here

  1. Early 2000s

    Started small under a different business name, building and managing web sites for small businesses.

  2. December 2008

    Netcode, Inc. was formed to better serve a growing international client base.

  3. Today

    Tight relationships with a select few clients, servicing internationally recognizable brands. We primarily work with agencies, and with small businesses too.

AI-assisted development

AI speeds us up. Experts sign it off.

We use AI coding assistants to accelerate web app development. Scaffolding, tests, refactors and boilerplate get done in a fraction of the time. But we don’t vibe code. Every line is read, understood and reviewed by a senior engineer before it ships, so you get the speed without the shortcuts.

Faster delivery

AI handles the repetitive work, so engineering time goes into architecture, edge cases and the parts that matter.

Expert review on every change

A senior engineer reviews each change line by line. Nothing merges because it “looks right”.

Tested and secure

AI-written code goes through the same tests, security checks and standards as everything else we write.

Code you can maintain

Clean, documented code that your team understands. No mystery output nobody can support later.
