Internal tools, dashboards, and LMS-style platforms, built on modern frameworks by the same senior engineers who host and maintain everything we ship. No handoff to a separate dev shop, no code you can't get support for later.
We didn't set out to be a software agency. Zenix started as, and still mostly is, a hosting and site care business.
But hosting a business long enough means you see where the real bottleneck sits: not the website, the internal spreadsheet nobody trusts, the support process running on email, the training program that lives in a shared folder. When clients kept asking us to build that tool, not just host it, we said yes to the ones that made sense.
So we build custom platforms too, and then we look after them, the same way we look after everything else on our books.
Not consumer apps. Named types of internal, operational software that keep a team running, usually replacing a spreadsheet, a shared inbox, or a tool that was never quite right.
Course delivery, learner dashboards, and completion tracking, built as a real application for corporate training programs.
Real-time visibility into the numbers your team currently pulls together by hand.
Ticketing and case tracking for teams currently running support on email.
Connects the tools you already run, so data stops moving between them by hand.
We don't sell open-ended "agile" retainers. We scope one platform, build it, put it into production, and keep running it.
You describe what the team needs. We tell you honestly whether a custom build is worth it, or whether an off-the-shelf tool would do the job cheaper.
Defined feature set, timeline, and price agreed upfront. Change requests get scoped and quoted separately, not silently absorbed into the build.
Deployed on infrastructure we manage from day one, monitored and backed up like everything else we run, not handed off to "whoever hosts it now."
Once it's live, it moves into the same care model as every other site we run: monitoring, backups, updates, and senior engineers on call, not a freelancer who's moved on.
We pick the right tool for the job, not the most fashionable one. Most builds combine a framework, a database, and integrations into systems you already use.
Not every custom build is worth doing. Saying no early is more useful than saying yes and shipping something fragile. Here's where we'll push back, sometimes before you finish the brief.
If you want a build with no ongoing relationship afterward, hire a freelancer instead. Every platform we build, we intend to still be running in a year.
We fix the feature set and price before writing code. If the brief keeps growing, we stop and requote, we don't let it drift and bill the difference quietly.
If your data model or existing infrastructure can't support what you're asking for, we'll say so before we start, sometimes that means fixing the foundation first, sometimes it means a smaller build than you pitched.
We fix the feature set and price before writing code, after a free scoping call. There's no published range because a support portal and an LMS platform cost very differently, but you'll have a real number before you commit to anything.
Depends on scope. A single internal tool or dashboard is usually weeks, not months. We'll give you a real timeline after the scoping call, not a generic estimate that changes once we've started.
We maintain it. Once it's live, it moves into the same care model as every other site we run: monitoring, backups, updates, and senior engineers on call, not a freelancer who's since moved on to another client.
Change requests get scoped and quoted separately, they don't get silently absorbed into the original price, and they don't get ignored either. You'll always know what something costs before we build it.
Sometimes. We'll assess the existing codebase and infrastructure first. If the foundation is solid, we can pick it up. If it isn't, we'll tell you honestly rather than build on something that will collapse later.
We'll say so before we start. Sometimes that means fixing the foundation first, sometimes it means a smaller build than you originally pitched. Either way, you find out during the scoping call, not three months in.
Book a 30-minute scoping call. We'll tell you honestly whether it's worth building, what it'd cost, and how long it'd take.
