Our Services
Everything You Need to Launch and Grow
Custom Websites
Developer-built with real code — PHP, MySQL, vanilla JS. Fast, secure, mobile-first, and optimized for conversions. Every site includes analytics, SEO foundations, security hardening, and Cloudflare protection out of the box.
E-Commerce
Stripe-powered storefronts with carts, checkout, tax, shipping, coupons, and order management. No Shopify fees or platform lock-in.
Automations & Integrations
Forms trigger emails. Databases update dashboards. Stripe, Zapier, Mailgun, and your CRM all talk to each other — automatically.
Ongoing Support (DevCare)
A developer on your team without the salary. Hosting, updates, unlimited edits via our client portal, and ongoing feature development — all in one monthly payment.
How It Works
From Idea to Revenue in Three Phases
Discovery
We learn your business, customers, and goals. You walk away with a clear plan and a real timeline — no pressure, no commitment.
Build & Launch
We build your site, wire up your tools, and go live. Most projects launch in 2–6 weeks. You see progress the entire time.
Grow & Optimize
Data starts flowing. We iterate based on what's working. DevCare clients get unlimited edits and discounted rates on new development.

The Platform Behind It All
Every Site We Build Runs on Rivera
