How we work
Build the system. Then keep it current.
One engagement, scoped to your business — built, launched, and kept running.
We start by mapping how your business runs, then build the system it needs — a brand site, an operations layer, or a full product. When it launches, we keep it current: hosting, security, and plain-English updates, included with the build.
The customer surface
Where your customers actually meet the business — fast, clear, and unmistakably yours.
- Brand-grade sites
- Booking & scheduling
- Ordering & checkout
- Accounts & live status
The operations layer
What your team runs the day on — the screen that replaces the spreadsheet, the group chat, and the phone tag.
- Order & job queues
- Ops consoles & dashboards
- Quoting & intake
- Roles & permissions
The automation underneath
The work nobody should be doing by hand — syncing, reconciling, and reporting on its own.
- Scheduled jobs & syncs
- Reporting & reconciliation
- Search across your data
- AI-assisted workflows
From first call to shipped
Map it
We start with what you’re building — the product, the systems, the users. We map how it should work and where the real value is.
Scope & proposal
We scope the build and send a clear, fixed proposal — what we design and engineer, the timeline, and the price — before anything starts.
Design, build, ship
We design and engineer it end to end and ship it — to the App Store, the web, or both. Most sites launch in 2–4 weeks; larger products get their own timeline.
Keep it alive
We keep it current, secure, and evolving — updates in plain English, with the design system protected. Included with your engagement.
Common questions
What does Core City actually do?
We build the system your business runs on — the surface your customers use, the console your team works from, and the automation underneath. One team from the first sketch to the version live in production.
Do you build apps, or just websites?
Both, and the software behind them. Native iOS, the web, and the operations layer that makes them one system.
What happens after it launches?
We keep it alive. Request changes in plain English, preview them on your live product, and publish when ready — while the design system stays protected by Core City.
How does pricing work?
Every engagement is scoped and quoted privately — sized to what we build, from a single site to a full product. Ongoing care is included with your engagement. We start with the work, then send a clear, fixed proposal before anything begins.
Every product is different.
A native app, an ops console, a commerce flow, a brand site, or a full platform — we scope it to you and quote it privately. It starts with product design, engineering, iOS & web, and everything it takes to ship.
