What we do
Web design and development for Vancouver, WA businesses
AltaForm builds custom websites, web applications, and internal tools for businesses that have outgrown a template.
Custom Website Design
Every site is designed and built from scratch for the one business it belongs to. Themes are cheaper and they look it.
Web Application Development
Dashboards, customer portals, booking systems, internal tools. Usually this starts life as a spreadsheet that has stopped coping.
E-Commerce Solutions
We set up product pages, checkout, payments, and the links to whatever you use for inventory and shipping.
Mobile-First Development
We start with the phone screen. Most of your customers will never see the desktop version.
How we work
- Scope and price up frontThe number and what it covers are settled before work starts. If something unexpected turns up mid build, we bring it to you with the cost attached and you decide whether it happens.
- Delivered in phasesYou see working pieces as they land. No six month silence.
- Yours to take elsewhereThe code is yours, the domain and accounts go in your name, and we hand over documentation another developer can work from. Nothing about the way we build is meant to keep you here.
- Nobody in betweenQuestions go to the people building your project. There is no account manager relaying messages.
Built with
These are ordinary tools, chosen on purpose. Plenty of developers already know them, so the project can be handed to someone else without a rewrite and you are not tied to us to keep it running.
- Next.js
- React
- TypeScript
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL
- Supabase
- Tailwind CSS
Where we work
We are in Vancouver, Washington, just across the river from Portland. The work runs on calls and email, so clients in other states are no harder to build for. Pacific time gives us overlap with most of the country.
The full site is still in progress. We are taking on work now.
Write and tell us what you are trying to build. We will say what we think it takes, and if it is not work we should be taking, we will tell you that instead.
