One-Day Build
Bring us a problem in the morning. Leave with working software in the afternoon.
From problem to working software. In one day.
A repetitive task. A cumbersome spreadsheet. A small application you’ve wished someone would build.
Let’s put a day on the calendar and make it happen.
Our One-Day Build brings your business knowledge and our engineering experience together to solve a focused problem. By the end of the day, you’ll have working software, the source code, and a clear understanding of how to use it.
First, we find the right-sized problem.
Every One-Day Build starts with a free assessment conversation.
We’ll talk through what you want to accomplish, understand the tools and processes involved, and determine whether the work fits into a day. Together, we’ll agree on what we’re building and what a successful result looks like.
Before build day, we’ll also identify anything we need to get started—sample data, access to existing systems, or a hosting account—so we can spend our time making progress.
If your idea needs more than a day, we’ll help identify a useful piece we can deliver first or discuss another approach.
One day. Working together. Something real.
8:30 a.m. — Get aligned.
We start together, walking through the problem and confirming the details. We’ll review how you’ll use the software, settle any remaining questions, and agree on what we’ll demonstrate that afternoon.
10:00 a.m. — Build time.
We get to work building and testing your solution.
You can get back to your day, but we’ll ask you to stay available for questions and quick decisions. A short conversation or a look at an early version helps us keep moving and make sure we’re building what you need.
3:00 p.m. — See it work. Make it yours.
We’ll walk through the finished software together, try it with real examples, and show you how to use it.
Your solution will be set up to run where we agreed: on your computer or in the cloud. We’ll hand over the source code, explain the setup, and cover what you need to keep it running.
Built to be used.
A One-Day Build delivers working software that addresses the problem we agreed to solve.
That might be:
- A tool that turns a recurring spreadsheet task into a few clicks.
- An automation that moves information between systems.
- A dashboard that brings scattered information into one view.
- A small application for tracking requests, jobs, or approvals.
- A working first version of a new business idea.
The right project has a clear purpose, a manageable scope, and a useful outcome.
You own what we build.
The code is yours. We’ll give you the source code and the instructions needed to run it.
If your solution runs in the cloud, we’ll set it up in an account you own and control. We’ll discuss any hosting or third-party service costs before build day, so you know what to expect.
You can continue developing it with Highline, work with another engineer, or maintain it yourself.
A little help after handoff.
Your One-Day Build includes up to two hours of follow-up support for small fixes, questions, or knowledge transfer.
Use that time to work through something you’ve discovered while using the software, review how it works, or bring another team member up to speed. If you want to take it further, we can scope the next step together.
What could we build for you in a day?
Tell us about the task that eats up your time, the process that keeps getting stuck, or the idea you’re ready to try.
We’ll start with a free conversation and see whether a One-Day Build is a good fit.
