Answer 5 quick questions about your project. You'll get a fixed-price plan, timeline, and technology recommendation. If we're not the right fit, we'll be honest about it.
Why build custom software?
Off-the-shelf tools don't fit your business.
You end up configuring workarounds, exporting data to spreadsheets, building clunky Zapier workflows. Your team gets frustrated. Your processes stay manual. Custom software is built around how you actually work — not how a vendor thinks you should work.
Building with a freelancer or agency is risky.
They disappear after launch. You get handed a codebase you don't understand. The app breaks and nobody's there to fix it. With Vorsteg, we build it, host it, and keep it running. You own the product. We own the operations.
You want to stay focused on your business.
Building and maintaining software is a distraction. You need something that just works — updates automatically, stays secure, never goes down. We handle all of that. You focus on what you do best.

Our process.
Three phases. You see working software every week. Fixed price, founder-led, outcome focused.
We get on a call. You walk us through what you need, the problems you're solving, and your vision for how the app works. We ask questions. By the end of the week, you get a proposal: feature list, technology choice, timeline, and fixed price. You're not locked in — you can compare quotes. We credit this planning fee toward the build if you proceed.
- Requirements and user flows
- Wireframes or mockups
- Fixed-price quote (credited to build)
We build with rapid iteration. You review working software every week — not mockups, not delays, working features deployed to a staging environment. You give feedback. We adjust. By week 4, we're deploying to our managed hosting. The process is transparent. No surprises.
- Weekly code reviews and demos
- Deployed to managed hosting
- Data migration and setup
After launch, we keep your app running 24/7. We monitor uptime, handle updates and security patches, back up your data, and fix bugs as they appear. You want a new feature? We build it. You want to scale? We scale the infrastructure. You own the product. We own the operations.
- 24/7 monitoring and uptime
- Monthly updates and patches
- New features and improvements

Vorsteg Software builds apps with production-grade reliability. Every app we deploy includes monitoring, error handling, and automatic recovery — the same infrastructure that keeps your business running 24/7.
Monitoring & Alerting
Real-time dashboards track every app we run. If something needs attention, we know before you do.
Automatic Retries
Transient failures — API timeouts, rate limits, network blips — are handled automatically. No manual intervention needed.
Complete Logging
Every action is logged with full context. Nothing is a black box. You can see exactly what happened and when.
Rollback & Recovery
If something goes wrong, we can revert to the last known good state. Your operations are never left in limbo.
Our guarantee: If we don't think we're the right fit for your project, we'll tell you straight. No BS, no sales pitch.
What we can build for you.
Custom software for the unique problems you're trying to solve. Built fast. Built right. Built to stay running.
Booking & Scheduling App
A booking app that syncs with your calendar, sends automated reminders, collects deposits upfront, and integrates with your CRM. Clients book themselves anytime. You get fewer double-bookings and more predictable schedule. Built for salons, contractors, consultants, and fitness studios.
Client Portal
Clients can upload documents, track project status, pay invoices, and message you without hitting reply-all. A dedicated client space keeps support emails out of your inbox, improves satisfaction, and looks professional.
Internal CRM
A CRM built around how your team actually works — not Salesforce features you'll never use. Track prospects, manage deals, automate follow-ups, and report on pipeline without enterprise bloat. Built for sales teams, real estate, recruiting, and agencies.
Field Service App
A field service app that gives crews real-time job assignments, GPS tracking, photo capture for inspections, on-site signatures, and instant invoicing. Built for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and landscaping crews who need to work faster without office overhead.
Inventory & Quoting Tool
An app that syncs real-time stock levels, auto-generates quotes with margin calculations built in, and tracks customer orders without spreadsheets. Designed for distributors, wholesalers, and retailers who need instant accuracy and faster turnaround on pricing.
Mobile App (Custom)
A custom iOS app designed around your workflow — not a generic tool. Built for field teams, sales reps, and operations. Works offline. Integrates with your backend systems. Stays secure. Deployed to the App Store and hosted by us.
What to expect.
Here's what you get when you work with Vorsteg Software.
Speed to launch
Most projects ship in 2-4 weeks, not months. We work in short cycles, you see working software weekly, and we iterate based on feedback. No waterfall, no surprises in week 8.
Predictable costs
Fixed price means you know the cost upfront. No scope creep invoices, no "oh we need to add this feature" conversations. We scope it right the first time and deliver.
It stays running
After launch, we monitor 24/7, handle security patches, back up your data, and fix bugs. You don't wake up to downtime. We do.
Founder-led
You don't work with a junior developer or a account manager. I build your app and support it. You have direct access. Questions get answered same day.
Is this right for you?
We work well with some businesses and not as well with others. Here's how to know.
Good fit

- You can invest $10K–20K on the first version

Might not work yet
- You want to self-host and manage servers yourself

- You expect the app to build itself with AI (that's not real yet)
- You're looking for $2K MVP or "test the market" price point

- You want to own the source code and hire your own team

Who's behind this.
Technical Founder. Built for Reliability.
I'm Zach. I'm a technical founder based in West Palm Beach.
I've shipped 5+ production-grade products — iOS apps live on the App Store, web platforms, and data pipelines that run around the clock. Not toy projects. Real systems with monitoring, error handling, and uptime discipline. When something fails at 3am, it alerts me automatically and retries itself. That's the standard I bring to everything.
I started Vorsteg because I saw the same problem repeatedly: businesses stuck between two bad options — expensive off-the-shelf tools that don't fit, or expensive developers who disappear after launch. I wanted to build a third option: founder-led software development where you get quality, reliability, and ongoing support without the agency overhead.
Your App, My Infrastructure
You own your product and your data. I own the infrastructure — hosting, monitoring, updates, reliability. You focus on your business. I focus on keeping your app running, fixing bugs, and adding features you ask for.
If I don't think I'm a good fit for your project, I'll tell you straight. Let's talk.
Security & data protection.
Your data is your business. Here's how we keep it that way.
Least-Privilege Access
Every app accesses only the data and systems it needs — nothing more. Permissions are scoped tightly and reviewed regularly.
Sandboxed Execution
Each app and integration runs in its own isolated environment. A failure in one system never affects another.
No Training on Your Data
Your business data is never used to train AI models. It's processed, delivered, and that's it.
Complete Audit Logs
Full record of every action your app takes. Available on request, retained for 90 days.
Questions we get asked.
You get a founder-led partnership, not an agency handoff. We build, host, monitor, and maintain your app. You own your product and data. We run the infrastructure so you never have to think about servers, backups, or uptime. After launch, we're still there — fixing bugs, adding features, scaling as you grow.
Typical projects: 2-4 weeks from start to launch. Timeline depends on feature complexity and how quickly you can review working software. We iterate weekly, not annually. You see a working app every week, give feedback, and we adjust.
Projects start at $10,000 fixed-price for your first version. App Care hosting and maintenance from $500/month. Final pricing depends on features, integrations, and platforms. No surprises — we quote it right the first time.
You own your product and your data. We run the infrastructure so you don't have to worry about hosting, monitoring, backups, or updates. If you ever want to move or self-host, we'll hand everything over and help with the transition.
We monitor 24/7. Issues are caught and fixed automatically when possible. If manual intervention is needed, we respond quickly depending on your support tier. You don't debug anything — that's our job.
App Care is month-to-month. No lock-in. Cancel anytime. We keep earning your business every month by delivering value, not by contractual obligation.
That's what the App Care partnership is for. You can request features, fixes, or changes. We prioritize based on impact and handle deployments. Your app evolves as your business grows.
iOS apps, web applications (React, Node.js), and integrations with your existing tools. We use production-grade tech stacks optimized for reliability. We deploy to the App Store, your own domain, or private hosting — whatever fits your business.
You keep the app. It keeps running. You just stop paying for App Care (maintenance and hosting). We'll provide documentation so your team can manage it if you want. Full transition support included.
Fair question. The company is new. The skills aren't. I've shipped 5+ production-grade products — including iOS apps on the App Store — with real monitoring, error handling, and uptime discipline. I'm betting my reputation on every engagement, which is exactly why I won't overpromise. The free planning call lets you evaluate the quality of my thinking before you commit anything.
