Whatever the project needs —
no ceilings, no fixed tiers.
We don't shrink your idea to fit a “starter package.” A small landing page and a full platform get the same care — the pricing calculator below just makes sure the number matches the scope, honestly, in both directions.
An app that keeps working as you grow
Mobile or web apps with logins, dashboards, and the boring-but-essential plumbing that won't collapse the moment you get featured somewhere big.

If your idea doesn't fit any of the boxes above, that's often the most interesting kind of project. Let's figure it out together — that's literally what the free consultation is for.

Most projects start as one thing and become another. We build with that in mind — what you launch with should be the foundation for what comes next, not a throwaway you have to rebuild from scratch when you outgrow it.

Our clients' projects are mostly under NDA — so we don't name them. These are real quotes, shared with permission; only the identifying details are left out.
quotes shared with permission · names under NDA
I'd been quoted $8k for a simple site by another studio. Truss did it for $1,400 — and it's actually faster and easier to update than what the other firm showed me.
Founder
small D2C skincare brand
I'm not technical. They never made me feel dumb for asking 'what does that mean?' — and the final site does exactly what they said it would.
Owner
neighborhood coffee shop
The price calculator said $1,800–$2,200. Final bill: $1,950. That's the first time a project came in exactly where the estimate said it would, for me.
Independent consultant
professional services
They built a 60-second game for our launch. It got picked up by a couple of bigger accounts on social and we still get traffic from it months later.
Marketing lead
indie outdoor brand
What surprised me most was the consultation. They asked questions about my business nobody else had asked — and the scope they proposed actually matched what I needed, not more, not less.
Solo attorney
private practice
I owned the code. Like, actually owned it. The last studio I'd worked with held it hostage for a 'maintenance fee.' Night and day.
Co-founder

Common questions
The stuff people actually ask.
If yours isn't here, just ask us on the consultation call — there are no dumb questions.
That's normal — most projects do. We work in small, reviewable chunks so a pivot mid-project doesn't throw away everything before it. If the scope genuinely grows, we tell you openly and re-quote the delta before doing the extra work. If it shrinks, the price shrinks too. No surprise invoices, ever.
Free · 20 minutes · no pressure
Let's lock in your real number.
The calculator gives you a confident ballpark. The consultation is where we turn it into a real scope and a real price — together, on a quick call. No deck, no sales script, no pressure to sign anything on the call.
