Software built around
the way you work.
Most small businesses do not need another giant platform. They need one stubborn bottleneck removed. Rainmaker builds focused internal software, workflow automation and fast custom websites—scoped to the problem, not padded into a consulting project.

What Rainmaker builds
Three practical lanes.
No technology theatre.
The job is to choose the smallest sensible form for the problem. Sometimes that is a full internal app. Sometimes it is a 300-line automation. Sometimes it is simply a better website.
Internal apps & focused SaaS
When people need to do real work inside the system: users, records, status, history, approvals, dashboards, reminders and operational logic.
- Auth, roles and multi-tenant systems
- PostgreSQL data and audit history
- Operator-facing workflows
- APIs, alerts and integrations
Often $3,000–$10,000+
Quoted after the workflow is understood.

Alerts, checks & data movement
When your systems mostly work but people still spend time checking, copying, reconciling or remembering.
- Scheduled checks
- Telegram / email alerts
- API integrations
- Reports and exception monitoring
From ~$800
Compact when the logic is clear.

Fast static sites for real businesses
When the business mainly needs customers to find, trust and contact it—without a CMS-heavy stack.
- Custom responsive design
- Local SEO fundamentals
- Project/service presentation
- Code and files handed over

Work with Rainmaker →Two lanes · same build philosophy
Software when the workflow needs logic.
Static HTML when the business needs a great front door.
Rainmaker does not force every problem into an app. The technology should match what the customer or operator actually needs to do.
Custom software
Use an application when the system must remember data, manage users, enforce workflow, automate decisions or create an operational record.
- Internal apps and focused SaaS
- Authentication, roles and tenant separation
- PostgreSQL data, history and reporting
- Automation, APIs and AI-assisted steps
Custom websites
Use a static site when customers mainly need to understand the business, see the work and make contact quickly.
- Refresh: roughly $600–900
- Standard build: roughly $1,100–1,700
- Premium rebuild: roughly $2,200–3,200
- Mockup-first on larger rebuilds
Proof, not a pitch
Software I have to operate.
Websites clients have to use.
The quality claim should be inspectable before you ever send a message. Ryxen shows the product side; live client work shows the website side.
Product proof · Ryxen
I build software I have to operate too.
Ryxen is the product suite behind the custom-build offer: real authentication, multi-tenant data, workflows, scheduled jobs, alerts and production databases—not just landing-page mockups.

Useful before you buy anything
Free manufacturing and business resources.
No email gate.
The public work exists for the same reason as the paid work: solve useful problems and demonstrate understanding of the operating environment.

Open tracker →The process
Understand it. Scope it.
Build only what earns its place.
Websites and software are different deliverables, but the operating discipline is the same: see the real problem, cut the scope, show something real early and finish the agreed job.
Show the current reality
Spreadsheet, website, paper form, repeated task, workflow or workaround.
Define the useful core
Separate what solves the problem from what merely sounds good in a feature list.
Know the number upfront
Price, boundaries and assumptions are visible before the build starts.
See something real early
Mockup for a website; first working slice for software; test the agreed critical paths.

You do not need a specification or a software category. Bring the bottleneck, current workaround or website problem. The next step is the dedicated project page—not another tour of the homepage.
