Pick a package.Book the call. I ship.

Honest pricing. Four tiers from $750. Every paid build runs on the same 50% / 25% / 25% plan — deposit when scope is agreed, milestone review, delivery. A $50 intro call books the conversation; deposit happens after we've agreed on scope.

How this works

One operator runs 2 builds at a time — Niko @ The Architect is across the whole engagement. No account manager. No sub-contracted agency on the other end. The prices below are what it actually costs to ship this work, not a number inflated to float a payroll. When the slots are full, new intakes go on a waitlist.

A real site, fast. Artists, models, creators.

The starter that isn't a template. Hand-built Next.js site, your art front and center, links to everywhere you live online, a contact path that actually reaches you. Up and under your domain inside a week. Built to grow — you can upgrade into Standard or Pro any time without losing the URL or the work.

standard2–3 weeks

Standard

Full site with custom sections and a CMS.

Your brand, properly. Custom layout instead of a theme, a CMS so you can post updates without calling me, forms that reach your inbox, basic integrations (Stripe tip jar, newsletter, Google Analytics). Two to three weeks, start to launch.

Pro

Custom features. Commerce, bookings, integrations.

When the site has to do work. Booking widgets, roster pages, commerce, account logins, integrations with your existing tools. Custom-coded on Next.js with a real database and a real admin dashboard. Four to six weeks — enough time to build it right, not enough time to lose momentum.

ops3–4 weeks

Ops

Internal dashboard. CRM or admin tool that replaces a stack of SaaS.

A custom operator console built around how your team actually works. Replace three or four SaaS subscriptions with one login that does exactly what you need and nothing you don't. Authentication, a real database, granular permissions, exports, audit trail. Not a no-code mashup — real code you can extend.

studio6–8 weeks

Studio

Booking, rosters, casting, invoicing — the back-office on rails.

The same architecture running Deep Productions in Tampa: session booking with rooms + staff, artist/model/engineer rosters, casting boards, contracts, Stripe payouts, and an admin dashboard with revenue + utilization. A production workload, not a demo — real money moves through it every day.

app8–10 weeks

App

Native iOS + Android. Signed, submitted, in the store.

Swift + Kotlin + Expo where it fits. Real hardware integrations where it matters. Shipped through App Store + Play Store review with the keys handed to you at the end — no subcontracted dev shop on the other side of the world you never meet. You watch the same commits land in your portal that land in the store build.

Suite

Full operator pipeline. Studio → brand → release → fanbase → analytics.

The whole stack, one operator. Studio ops, artist brand systems, booking funnels, release coordination, and the analytics to steer the ship. This is the engagement I take one of at a time so it gets the attention it needs instead of diluted across a team of six who each touched it for an hour.
