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

Founder's note

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.

Develop a Web Application

You have the idea. You may even have mockups, a rough budget, and three different people telling you three different ways to build it. That is where most non-technical founders get stuck.
