Studio
Small. Senior. Built to last.
Metalique Studios designs and builds custom operations software for growing businesses. We are not a volume shop, and we are not a freelancer marketplace.
The people who take the discovery call stay close to the people who ship. Launch is the start of care, not the end of the invoice.
Retainer clients keep a named contact who already knows the product. We pick the stack to fit the problem — TypeScript, React, Node, Python, PostgreSQL, common business APIs — rather than forcing a template.
Web apps, dashboards, mobile-friendly clients for the floor.
What we look for
An operation that has outgrown its tools: stock that does not match the floor, jobs that never quite close, invoices that lag the visit, handoffs that live in someone’s head. If a packaged product already covers it, we will say so.
Developers in the room
Not a briefing layer and a separate bench.
Written scope
Investment after we understand the operation.
Named care
On retainer, someone who already knows the product.
On every engagement
Product lead
Discovery and scoping — the person who makes sure we are building the right system.
UI/UX designer
Screens and flows your team can use under time pressure, on the floor and at a desk.
Full-stack engineers
The application, data model, and integrations. Senior attention, not a revolving bench.
QA / release
The unglamorous work that keeps launch from becoming a second job for your staff.
Dedicated care contact
On retainer: a named person for fixes and small changes after you are live.
