Now Shipping!

We Ship Software is a new service by Richard Rissanen and Jarrod Taylor focused on one thing: shipping software.

These guys rock! They really know their stuff. While most agencies are focused on upselling, We Ship Software focuses on shipping. They get it done.

We've spent years working in the tech industry, iterating on product direction, project management, UX design, engineering, testing, marketing, and monetizing.

We’ve been lucky to work with some very talented people over the years at all kinds of agencies, startups, local shops, and big tech companies.

And we’ve built some great digital products and services that thousands of businesses and millions of consumers all around the world use every day.

Services

By keeping our team small, only working with experienced pros, we're more reliable than a freelancer and more affordable than an agency.

Our prices are fixed so you know exactly what you're paying and we'll work with you to define "done" so you know exactly what you're getting. No surprises.

Clear writing is clear thinking, so we like to overcommunicate via email and chat.

We prefer to work with startups or small-to-medium sized businesses who we can really get to know and grow with, though occasionally we do work with small teams inside bigger companies.

Agile Project

Turn that million dollar idea in your notebook into shipping software.

We'll work with you to come up with a project plan and give you our best-effort timeline estimates.

Then we'll work with you on designing, building, testing, and deploying your project.

We like to work in 1 to 3 week iterations, delivering small, working pieces of software at each step until the project is complete and you're ready to onboard customers.

We don't do long contracts. Instead, you'll pay us with each iteration. That way you're involved in the feedback loop — making product adjustments as we go without needing to negotiate scope changes. It'll lead to a better final product on a more predicatable timeline.

Let's build something together.

Value & Profit Optimization

If your business is already up and running, we'll work with you on creative ways to reach more people, convert more of them to paying customers, and segment your offerings for more profit.

email@weshipsoftware.com for pricing.

Office Hours

Each week we set aside a few hours to meet new people. Not as a service or a sale pitch, just a video call.

We want to meet you.

The topic can be anything you want — you don’t even have to tell us ahead of time.

So far we've given feekback on projects, shared tiki cocktail recipes, screened candidates for job openings, talked hockey, debugged servers, reviewed resumes, and even acted as sales engineers.

Collaborations

It's fun to have friends that are passionate about their interests.

We're happy to help out where I can.
