An up-and-coming web and software development studio building tailored, personal sites for clients who want more than a template — code shaped tightly around your vision.
Distortion Development is a new web and software development company based in the American Midwest, built around a simple idea: every client deserves a site that reflects them, not a recycled layout dragged out of a library.
We specialize in tailored, personal development services — close collaboration, careful listening, and a build process tightly aligned with each client's needs and vision. No bloated agency overhead. No cookie-cutter outputs. Just deliberate, hand-crafted work.
Our development architecture leans heavily on creativity and the personal vision behind each project. We treat the codebase like a creative medium, not just a delivery mechanism — every site we ship has an opinion, a voice, and a reason to exist.
Marketing sites, portfolios, and landing pages built from scratch — designed and developed around your specific brand and audience, not a starter theme.
Full-stack apps for businesses needing dashboards, customer portals, internal tools, or SaaS platforms — built with modern, maintainable architecture.
Shopify and headless commerce builds with custom theming, conversion-focused UX, and the polish that turns visitors into repeat customers.
Logo work, visual identity, and design systems that translate cleanly into the web — so your site, brand, and code all speak the same language.
Deployment, hosting setup, and ongoing maintenance — including performance tuning, security updates, and content changes as your business grows.
Stuck with an inherited codebase or unsure where to start? We audit, advise, and chart a path forward — without locking you into a long contract.
We start with a real conversation. Your vision, audience, goals, and the things competitors aren't doing — that's where the build begins.
Custom design tailored to your brand. No template kits, no generic layouts. Every screen is shaped around the story you're telling.
Clean, modern code written by hand. Performance-first, accessible, maintainable — built to scale with you, not against you.
Deployment, hosting, and post-launch support. We don't disappear after handoff — we stick around to make sure the site keeps running.
Every project is different, but here's where most of our work lands. Each package is a starting point — we'll scope your specific needs on a discovery call and quote a fixed project fee, paid in milestones (typically 30% on signing, 30% at design approval, 40% at launch).
A clean, custom-built marketing site for businesses that need a polished web presence without the agency overhead.
A fully custom business site with a CMS so you can update content yourself. Built for growth, lead generation, and search visibility.
Shopify or headless commerce build with custom theming, conversion-focused UX, and the polish that turns visitors into repeat customers.
Marketing & conversion sites for SaaS companies that need to communicate complex value clearly and convert qualified visitors.
Full-stack apps for businesses needing dashboards, customer portals, internal tools, or complete SaaS platforms. Quoted per project.
Audits, code reviews, troubleshooting, small updates, or short-term help on an existing project. No long-term commitment required.
Don't see your project here? Get in touch — every project gets a custom quote and we're happy to scope something that doesn't fit a standard package.
We keep the business side of every project simple, predictable, and written down. No surprise invoices, no hidden fees, no chasing you for renewals or hosting passwords you don't remember. Here's exactly how the engagement works.
Every project gets a fixed quote after a discovery call — not an hourly meter that scares you. You know exactly what the build costs before we start.
Project fees are split into three payments: 30% deposit on signing, 30% at design approval, and 40% at launch.
We invoice through Stripe. Pay by ACH bank transfer (preferred for larger invoices), credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay — whatever's easiest.
Every project starts with a simple service agreement covering scope, payment terms, timeline, and ownership of the final work — so both sides know exactly what's being built.
You don't need to learn what hosting is or manage server bills. We host your site on fast, reliable infrastructure and handle every renewal, update, and SSL certificate for you.
Need updates, content changes, or new features after launch? Optional maintenance retainers are available, or pay hourly only when you need us.
Have questions about how a specific project would work? Ask us anything — happy to walk through the details before you commit to anything.
