Websites and software built around your business.
From a better website to the tools behind it, Spanwork helps you design, build, and maintain what your business needs.
01 / Websites and ecommerce
A clearer path from interest to inquiry or purchase.
Business websites, online stores, and improvements to an existing site, shaped around your customers and the way you work.
Website design and development
Storefront and purchase-flow improvements
Content structure, forms, and mobile usability
02 / Custom apps and integrations
Software that fits the work you actually do.
Customer portals, internal tools, and connected systems that give a recurring business process a practical home.
Custom web applications and portals
Connections between existing tools
Workflow automation and data handoffs
03 / Scoped ongoing care
Keep improving after launch.
Maintenance, fixes, and planned improvements for the website or software your business depends on. We agree on the systems, priorities, and support window first.
Site and application maintenance
Bug fixes and practical improvements
Clear priorities and an agreed support scope
Already know what you need? We can scope the build directly. If the next step is unclear, a focused assessment can help you decide.
A focused assessment can clarify the scope before you commit to a build. For a consequential product or platform decision, the Product and Technology Review is available as a standalone engagement.
A Review is optional, not a prerequisite for development.
Optional discovery / The Product and Technology Review
Unsure what to build or fix first?
For one expensive product or platform decision, get a recommendation, the reasoning behind it, and a practical 90-day plan in 10 working days. Start here when the direction needs investigation; start with a project scope when it is already clear.
An illustrative sample, not client work. Your Review is scoped around your decision.
You keep the recommendation and plan. No follow-on engagement required.
SpanworkDecision memo
Should the team begin a full platform rewrite before committing to enterprise identity and audit controls?
Do not begin the full rewrite yet.
Separate identity and audit responsibilities, test the integration boundary, and measure one release cycle before approving the larger program.
Repair
Contain the constraint.
Rebuild
Replace the platform.
Resequence
Test the boundary first.
SpanworkConstraint map
Connect the promise, the system, and the owner.
Product commitment
Enterprise identity controls and a reliable audit trail before launch.
Platform constraint
Identity and audit responsibilities share an untested boundary.
Decision owner
Name the leader responsible for the decision and the team that will operate it.
What could change the answer? Test failure, rollback, and data behavior before the next commitment.

Leadership readoutApprove / Narrow / Defer / Stop
From the first conversation to a working result.
We agree on the outcome and scope, build in reviewable stages, and prepare you to run what we deliver.
01 / Understand
Start with the business need
Talk through the customers, workflow, existing systems, and what needs to change.
02 / Scope
Agree on a practical scope
Set the deliverables, responsibilities, timeline, and fee in writing. Use discovery only where an important unknown needs investigation.
03 / Build
Build and review together
Review working progress, test the important flows, and agree on changes before they expand the scope.
04 / Handover
Launch with a clear handover
Check the agreed scope, document how to manage it, and plan any ongoing care as a separate agreement.
Work directly with the person building it.
Jose Alvarado is your direct point of contact for scope, design, development, and handover.
Jose Alvarado
Founder, SpanworkProduct and platform engineer
Jose is the founder of Spanwork and CTO at Micr. He leads product direction, UX, architecture, and infrastructure for an active software product.
His published work includes service-business websites, publishing tools, and social gaming. He connects product design with full-stack development and the systems needed to keep software running.
You need a business website, online store, custom application, or integration.
You have a specific workflow to improve or a clear problem to solve.
The person responsible for the project can help set priorities and review progress.
You want an honest scope, including a smaller first release when that makes sense.
Not a fit
You need open-ended staff augmentation without an agreed delivery scope.
You need emergency incident response or round-the-clock support without a separate support agreement.
The people with decision authority cannot participate.
You need a broad compliance audit or general maturity assessment.
Clear scope, including what comes after launch.
A new build, an improvement to an existing system, and ongoing care each need their own scope. You can engage Spanwork directly for the work you need.
Before work starts
A written project scope
Agree on deliverables, timeline, fee, access needs, and who supplies content or approvals. Additional requests are discussed before they become additional work.
Ongoing support
Care with clear boundaries
Agree on the systems covered, maintenance tasks, support hours, and improvement priorities. Ongoing care is scoped separately from the initial build.
Tell Jose what you want to build or improve.
Share the business need, your current website or tools, and any timing constraints. A few sentences are enough to start a project conversation.
A short summary is enough. Do not send confidential code, credentials, customer data, or system access through this form.
If there is a fit, the next step is a short conversation. You receive the scope, timeline, deliverables, access requirements, and fixed fee in writing before deciding.
