# Refact

> Refact is a product development studio that helps non-technical founders and domain experts build online products — combining product strategy, design, and engineering under one roof, with clarity before code and a partner who stays for the long term. Tagline: "Clarity before code."

The hardest part of building a product isn't finding developers — it's knowing what to tell them to build. Every Refact engagement begins with a scoped discovery phase (backed by a money-back guarantee) that defines what to build and why before development starts. From there Refact designs, builds, and ships: marketing sites and online stores, custom web apps and APIs, MVPs and SaaS products, publishing platforms and CMS, and AI features such as chatbots, agents, workflow automation, and LLM integration — then stays on as a long-term product partner.

Proof points: 10+ years building online products · 100+ founders and domain experts helped · 2+ year average client relationship · money-back guarantee on the discovery phase. Refact serves non-technical founders and domain experts (typically $30K+ engagements) across media & publishing, ecommerce, consulting, membership organizations, non-profits, hospitality, real estate, and education.
