WHAT WE BUILD
INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Trends has grown 5x since we started working with Refact. The agency is so great that we decided to continue working with them even after Trends was launched. They are responsible for nearly 100% of all our engineering work.
Scott Garcia
Product Manager at Trends
Their project manager was among the best I've worked with. They completed every migration stage through production and testing, met deadlines, and handled 1,000+ article redirects without us needing to micromanage.

Refact is great to work with in our complicated business. They launched a great-looking, functional site, and our overall engagement increased by about 20%.

WELCOME TO REFACT
Great software is built through iteration, not speculation. It takes product vision, strategic thinking, engineering discipline, and business judgment, working together, not in silos.
The hardest part isn't finding developers. It's knowing what to tell them to build. Most of the money lost in failed projects is spent building the wrong thing, not building it wrong.
We start by understanding what you're building and why, before development begins. We design so you can see and use your product before it's built. We build in close collaboration, making decisions together as we learn. And our partnership doesn't end at launch; we continue working together as your product evolves.
Over a decade ago, I had an idea for an internet business. I didn't know how to code, and that business failed, but I fell in love with building online products. Since then, I've helped over 100 founders and domain experts build online products with millions of users and dollars in profit.
I know what it's like to have an idea and fail to build it. I built Refact so other founders never have to go through that experience.
If you're building something you're excited about, I'd like to hear about it.

Most comparisons of Ghost and WordPress kick off with a feature matrix, but this is an approach that should be avoided. The correct question is, which platform is your team capable of operating effectively for the next two to three years without losing editorial hours learning to use the CMS? A publication’s audience can grow […]
Most Node.js proposals begin with the wrong question. A vendor asks for the run time preference with a blank space for the product description, the intended customer, and the supply/demand of resources in production. You are ultimately asked to choose between Node.js, Python, Go, Bun, and Deno and it ultimately feels like picking from a […]
A DNS record drifts. An SSL certificate expires overnight. A plugin update lands in production without staging. None of these would surface as red flags on a dashboard. The site continues to load for the developer that last interacted with it, while the customer attempting to purchase is met with an empty page. One founder […]
