Austin is known for a dense mix of startups and software companies, which makes the typical project there different from a greenfield consumer app: a web product already exists, and the app has to fit around it. That changes what matters. The quality of the integration counts for more than the number of screens.
Startups: the second platform
A startup with a working web application usually reaches a point where customers ask for an app. The cheapest route is not a rewrite. It is a thin client on a stable API, with authentication that reuses your accounts and push notifications for the events your users care about. We scope that as a fixed-price build and flag any API gaps before the work begins.
Enterprise software: mobile and desktop clients
Software companies that sell to larger customers meet requirements such as single sign-on, audit logs and managed distribution. A mobile or macOS client has to meet them without becoming a second product to maintain. The design follows your existing permission model and keeps security-relevant behavior in one documented place.
Texas privacy law
The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act gives consumers rights over their personal data and sets duties for how sensitive data is handled. Small businesses as defined by the US Small Business Administration are largely exempt, with obligations remaining for the sale of sensitive data. Whichever side of that line you are on, the app is built so that access, correction and deletion requests can be answered from the data model. This is engineering documentation, not legal advice.
Contract, invoicing and collaboration
The contract is with DigitalFreedom Global LLC, registered in Wyoming, USA, and invoices are in US dollars. The work is remote and written. If your team has an issue tracker and a repository, we work in them: small changes, written decisions, reviewable commits. Meetings take place by arrangement. Repositories and accounts are in your name from day one.
