01 / WEB
Modern business sites
Fast, modern websites for local businesses, small companies, and personal brands. Built on stacks that won't fall over, indexed properly, easy to update — without paying us monthly.
We build
what's next.
Modern websites, web & mobile apps, and automations — designed and shipped in weeks, fixed price, and you own the code.
Abel is an independent development studio. We design and ship modern websites, custom web apps, and automations — faster than traditional agencies, more carefully than the template mills.

/ Services — [01]
Five things, done well.
We focus on what we ship best. Pick the one that fits — or talk to us about a hybrid. Most of our projects blend two.
02 / APPS
Custom web applications
Production web apps with real auth, real databases, real users. From MVP to v1 in weeks, not quarters. Built to scale, written to be handed off.
03 / TOOLS
Automations & custom tools
Tools that do the heavy lifting for you. Chat assistants, automation pipelines, content tools, integrations — built and tested to behave in the real world, not just demo well.
04 / MOBILE
iOS & Android apps
Cross-platform mobile apps from one codebase — both app stores, native feel. Or an installable web app (PWA) when that’s the leaner call. We’ll tell you which you actually need.
05 / STREAM
Streaming setups & tools
Everything a streamer needs to look pro and grow — custom overlays, alerts, OBS scenes & transitions, starting/BRB screens, and the part most can’t do: custom-coded widgets and a streamer site, built to your brand.

/ Process — [02]
From kickoff to live, in weeks.
No 40-page discovery docs. No surprise scope creep. No waiting for a junior dev to ramp up. Here's how every project runs.
A short call. We figure out what you actually need versus what you think you need. You leave with a clear scope, timeline, and fixed price — no 40-page deck required.
Wireframes and visual direction within 48 hours. You see real screens — not stock-image moodboards — before we write a line of production code.
A modern, senior-led stack means a lot more shipping per day. Short Loom updates throughout the week, so you're never in the dark about progress.
Live deployment, handoff docs, and 30 days of post-launch support included. No surprise invoices. If you ever leave us, your code travels.
/ Why Abel — [03]
Built for how software gets made now.
The old agency model — months of discovery, armies of juniors, hourly billing — wasn't built for what's possible today. We were.
/ 01
Senior-led, every project
No junior dev rotation. The person on your kickoff call is the person writing your code.
/ 02
Modern-stack speed
Modern tooling end to end. Weeks, not quarters — with senior review on everything that ships.
/ 03
Built to outlast us
Clean code, documented stack, standard tools. Any developer can pick it up on day one.
/ 04
Fixed price, fixed scope
You know the cost before we start. No hourly-billing games, no change-order theater.
We're building toward
the good sci-fi
we all want.
Every site, every app, every line of code —
a small step toward software that feels alive.

/ FAQ — [05]
Questions, answered straight.
No agency runaround. Here's how working with Abel actually goes.
How does a project actually run?
A short discovery call to nail down what you actually need, then a fixed scope, timeline, and price — no 40-page deck. You see real wireframes and visual direction within about 48 hours, before any production code. Then we build, with short Loom updates through the week so you're never in the dark, and finish with a live deployment, handoff docs, and 30 days of support.
What does it cost, and how do payments work?
Fixed scope, fixed price — see Pricing for the productized tiers and "starting from" ranges. Terms are simple: 50% to start, 50% on delivery, paid securely by card or bank. You know the full cost before any work begins — no hourly-billing games or surprise change orders.
How long will it take?
Most sites ship in a few days to two weeks; custom web apps run roughly 2–6 weeks; automation builds vary with scope. You get a concrete timeline as part of the fixed quote — and modern tooling means a lot more shipping per day than a traditional agency.
Do I own the code?
100%. You own everything we build — clean, documented, and on standard tools, so any developer can pick it up on day one. If you ever move on from us, your code and accounts travel with you. No lock-in.
How can one studio ship this fast?
Senior focus and a modern, battle-tested toolchain — no handoffs, no junior ramp-up, no account-manager telephone game. A person reviews everything that goes live, and we stay vendor-agnostic: the right tool for the job, never locked to one provider.
Can you build a mobile app — and do I actually need one?
Yes — we build cross-platform iOS + Android apps from one codebase (Expo / React Native), plus native when a project needs it. But many "I need an app" goals are better and cheaper as an installable web app (PWA): instant, no app store, no $99/yr Apple fee. We'll tell you honestly which one fits. True native makes sense when you need push notifications, app-store presence, deep device features, or real offline — and you own the code and the store accounts either way.
Do you set up streams and help streamers?
Yes — it’s a full service. Custom overlays, alerts, OBS scenes and transitions, starting/BRB/ending screens, and consistent branding across Twitch, YouTube, and Kick. Our edge over a template shop: we build custom-coded widgets and streamer websites, not just static graphics. Setups start around $1,200; custom tools are scoped on a call.
What if I don't like the design?
You'll see real screens within ~48 hours — not stock-image moodboards — before we write production code, so course-corrections happen early and cheaply. Revisions are part of the process; the fixed scope just keeps "one more thing" from quietly turning into a different project.
What do you need from me?
A short intake form, any existing copy/brand assets (or we'll write and source them — just say so up front), and one clear decision-maker for approvals. That's usually enough to keep things moving async without endless meetings.
Do you offer ongoing support after launch?
Yes — 30 days of post-launch support is included with every project. After that, monthly retainers (Care, Growth, or Partner — see Pricing) cover hosting oversight, updates, and ongoing work, so you've got a developer on call without a full-time hire.
Are you a one-person studio?
Yes — and that's the point. Abel is senior-led: the person on your kickoff call is the person writing your code. No junior-dev rotation, no account-manager telephone game. A modern toolchain is what lets one experienced builder deliver at agency pace.
Where are you based? Do you work remotely?
Remote and US-based, working with clients anywhere. The whole process is built to run async — calls when they help, and clear written updates the rest of the time.
What is Vela?
Vela is a calm, plain-English command center for your business — leads, money, marketing, reviews & uptime in one place, tuned to your field (restaurant, realtor, streamer, shop, trades, salon, gym & more). It speaks plain English and Spanish, explains your numbers, and tells you the one thing to do today. See Vela →
Is Vela really free?
Yes — it’s included free with any Abel retainer. It bundles what businesses otherwise pay $300–500/mo for across separate tools (Podium, Birdeye, Buffer). A standalone plan is available too if you’re not on a retainer.
Is my data safe with Vela?
Yes. Vela connects to your own accounts read-only first, never moves money or posts publicly without your OK, and isolates every client’s data. Export or delete anytime — you stay in control.
