21 years of practical technology experience

One experienced studio for the technology behind your work.

Fireproof Studio plans, designs, builds, hosts, connects, improves, and supports technology. Bring us a clear project, an unfinished idea, or a problem you are still trying to name.

Choose the right path

Custom help and ready-made tools solve different kinds of problems.

Services

Choose a project when the answer needs to fit your situation.

Services are the better path when the work needs discovery, design, engineering, integration, hosting, or an ongoing technical partner.

Business Tools · Shop

Choose a ready-made tool when the job is already well defined.

The shop contains bounded templates, systems, audits, and technical tools you can inspect and buy without starting a custom project.

Start with the area closest to your need.

More than one may apply. We can help define the right combination before work begins.

01 · Websites & hosting

A website that is clear to use and practical to operate.

Most customers can start with one of our streamlined website options. If the work falls outside those paths, we can design, build, host, and support a custom solution.

Need something beyond a streamlined website?

Choose a custom solution when the work involves complex content, specialized workflows, integrations, unusual migrations, or hosting requirements that do not fit either product. We will define the practical scope with you before development begins.

Discuss a custom website

02 · Applications & software

Focused software shaped around a real job.

We design and build web and mobile applications, internal tools, and customer-facing systems without forcing the work into a fashionable stack or oversized product plan.

A good fit when

  • A repeated process is slow, fragmented, or difficult to see.
  • Off-the-shelf software does not fit the workflow.
  • An idea needs a practical path from prototype to usable product.

Scope can include

  • Workflow discovery, product definition, interface design, and prototyping
  • Web or mobile development, APIs, data workflows, and admin tools
  • Testing, deployment, documentation, and planned iteration
Discuss an application

03 · Plugins & integrations

Make the tools you already use work together.

A focused plugin or integration can remove duplicate entry, extend an existing platform, and preserve a workflow that already works well.

A good fit when

  • Information is copied between tools by hand.
  • A platform is close to useful but missing one important capability.
  • A brittle connection needs a clearer, maintainable replacement.

Scope can include

  • API research, workflow mapping, data transformation, and error handling
  • CMS plugins, platform extensions, webhooks, and third-party connections
  • Testing, documentation, maintenance planning, and troubleshooting

04 · AI integration

Use AI where it makes a specific task more useful.

We help identify practical AI-assisted workflows, define where human review belongs, and integrate the result into the tools and processes people already use.

A good fit when

  • Your team has a repeated language, research, or classification task.
  • An AI experiment needs clearer boundaries and evaluation.
  • A useful model workflow needs to connect to a real product or system.

Scope can include

  • Workflow selection, data boundaries, prompt and tool design, and prototyping
  • Model and API integration, human review paths, and failure handling
  • Evaluation criteria, monitoring plans, documentation, and iteration
Explore an AI workflow

05 · Games & interactive work

Interactive experiences built around a strong core idea.

We prototype and develop original games and interactive systems, balancing the feel of the experience with the engineering needed to make it work.

A good fit when

  • A game concept needs its riskiest assumptions tested.
  • An interactive idea needs both design and engineering ownership.
  • A working prototype needs a clearer path toward a complete experience.

Scope can include

  • Concept refinement, gameplay systems, interface design, and prototyping
  • Web or mobile implementation, content tools, progression, and balancing
  • Testing plans, technical refinement, release preparation, and updates
Discuss interactive work

06 · Ongoing technology support

Keep important technology useful as needs change.

Support can continue after launch or begin with an existing system. The first step is understanding what you have, what matters most, and what responsible ownership requires.

A good fit when

  • Your website or application needs a familiar technical owner.
  • Small fixes and improvements are accumulating without a clear plan.
  • Hosting, maintenance, and future changes need to be considered together.

Scope can include

  • Technical review, prioritization, maintenance, and routine improvements
  • Hosting coordination, monitoring, troubleshooting, and updates
  • Documentation, release planning, and support for changing needs
Ask about ongoing support

How the work moves

Enough structure to stay clear, without making the process heavy.

The exact shape depends on the project. These are the working rhythms we use to keep decisions visible.

For a defined project

  1. 01Understand

    Clarify the people, problem, constraints, and useful outcome.

  2. 02Plan

    Choose the scope, approach, responsibilities, and decision points.

  3. 03Build

    Design, implement, test, and review the work in useful increments.

  4. 04Launch & support

    Release carefully, document what matters, and agree on what comes next.

For ongoing work

  1. 01Prioritize

    Keep the most important fixes and improvements visible.

  2. 02Improve

    Make bounded changes with appropriate checks and communication.

  3. 03Review

    Confirm the result and adjust the next priorities as needs change.

Owned work

We use our own products to prove the range of the work.

These are Fireproof projects—not client case studies—and their public status is stated plainly.

Fit & scope

A useful first conversation should make the next decision easier.

We are a good fit when you want an experienced partner who can explain tradeoffs, stay close to the work, and take responsibility for a clear technical outcome.

What shapes a project

  • The problem and people the work must serve
  • Existing technology, content, data, and integrations
  • What is included now and what can wait
  • Timing, review responsibilities, and launch requirements
  • The support or ownership needed after release

If the request is outside our fit, we will say so rather than stretch the scope.

Common questions

Start with what you know.

You do not need to translate the problem into technical language before contacting us.

Do I need a finished brief?

No. A useful starting point is the situation, the outcome you want, and any timing that matters. We can help define the technical path.

Can you take over an existing website or application?

Possibly. We begin by reviewing the current system, access, dependencies, and condition so the responsibilities and risks are clear before proposing work.

Do you provide hosting and support after launch?

Yes, when they fit the project. We can include hosting, maintenance, improvements, and ongoing support in the scope instead of treating launch as the end of the work.

How is scope determined?

Scope follows the useful outcome, existing constraints, responsibilities, and what must be true for the work to be complete. We define those boundaries before implementation begins.

Can AI be part of a larger website or software project?

Yes. We treat AI as one possible component, then define the task, data boundaries, review points, and failure handling required for that component to be useful.
