From vibe to finish
House of Crimson builds websites and custom software for small businesses, fixes what broke, and finishes projects that stalled partway, including the ones that started as AI prompts. No agency runaround to get through first.
Remote across the United States. Say what is wrong in whatever words you have. Naming it properly is our end of the job.
Two ways people get here
Most people arrive with a half-formed plan and a messy project. Whichever of these sounds like you, the first step is the same conversation.
You need something built, fixed, or finished, and you would rather not learn what a DNS record is to get it done.
The prompting got you a long way and then stopped being enough. That is a normal place to end up.
What we do, and what it costs
Each one is named for the situation it solves rather than the technology behind it, and each one shows its starting price. Most of this industry makes you ask first. Bigger or less certain work still gets a written price, and you get it before you agree to anything.
Plan and build a website or a small software project from a blank page, without guessing at the budget.
One-page websites from $300. Complete small-business websites from $1,500.One-page packages have a fixed price and a published list of what they include. Multi-page websites cover more ground: separate pages, a contact form that reaches you, the basics that help you show up in search, visitor analytics, getting it live, and handing it over to you at the end. Anything more involved gets a written quote before you commit to it.
One thing is broken and you need it working again. Bring us the one thing.
Quick Fixes starting at $149The starting price covers one contained problem. If it turns out the problem has roots somewhere else, or touches payments, logins, or customer data, we will tell you before doing anything and point you to the right next step.
You got most of the way there and then it stalled. We pick it up and get it live.
Small Project Launch Finish starting at $699Projects like this start with a $199 Project Review, because what is left to do is rarely visible from the outside. The full $199 comes off approved project work booked within 30 days.
Software built around one job your business does, instead of a product you have to work around.
Custom scoped pricingFocused custom tools generally begin at $3,000. What moves the number is how many steps it has to handle, what other systems it has to talk to, and how much it would cost you if it went wrong.
Someone who already knows your project, still there after it launches.
Starting at $99 per monthHosting and third-party service costs are additional when they apply. Whether a project qualifies depends on how it is built and where it is hosted, which we work out before anything starts.
The honest version
Getting something that looks finished has never been easier, and we use the same tools every week. The trouble starts after the code exists. Does it deploy? Does it hold up against the case nobody thought about? Is customer data protected, and does it connect to real payment and email services? Will it still make sense to whoever opens it a year from now?
That is where House of Crimson picks up. We read what you built, say what is worth keeping, fix what is not, and get it to something you can launch.
There is one person and one written scope. You know who did the work, and who to contact if something breaks later.
The accounts, the files, and the deliverables in the agreement end up with you. A prompt history is not a handover. This is.
Real customers do things no prompt anticipated. The work is making sure the project holds up when they do, and stays understandable afterward.
The process
There is no form to chase and no discovery call to book before anyone will talk to you.
The idea, the project, the thing that broke, or just the result you need. Describe it however makes sense to you. Translating that into technical terms is our job.
We reply with which service fits, whether it needs a Project Review first, or a note saying it is not something we should take on. You get an answer either way.
Price, what you receive, what is not included, what access we need, payment terms, and the expected schedule. All of it written down and agreed before any work starts.
Ownership and trust
Wherever it is practical, the hosting and service accounts are set up in your name, not ours. You get the project files and everything else the agreement lists, and we explain what changed and why. Nothing is deliberately built so that leaving becomes expensive.
Third-party services, templates, subscriptions, fonts, assets, plugins, open-source software, and external platforms stay governed by their own licensing and terms.
Before you commit to anything bigger
Not sure whether your project needs a fix, a finish, or a rebuild?
For any project whose condition is not obvious from the outside, however it was built: by hand, from a template, with another developer, or with AI. We read what exists, work out what is wrong, and tell you what can be saved and what finishing it would take.
You keep the written recommendation either way. If the honest answer is that a different approach or another provider suits the project better, that is what it says.
When approved project work is booked within 30 days, the full $199 Project Review payment is applied to that project’s price. For example, if approved work is priced at $699, the remaining balance after the review credit is $500. The review produces a written assessment. Paying for a review does not guarantee that The House of Crimson will accept the implementation work.
Frequently asked questions
Small-business websites, custom software built around one job, fixing one specific thing that broke, finishing work that stalled, getting a project launched, and keeping it running afterward. Planning help too, when the decision comes before the build.
Yes, and it comes up often. Whether we take a project on depends on its condition and what it needs, not on whether ChatGPT, Claude, Lovable, Bolt, Replit, or Cursor helped start it. We use these tools too.
No. Tell us what it does now and what you need it to do. Working out how it is built is part of the job, and a Project Review exists for exactly that.
Two projects can look identical from the outside and be completely different underneath. The review is how you find out what works, what is broken, and what is worth keeping, before anyone quotes you for the rest.
No. When approved project work is booked within 30 days, the full $199 review payment is credited toward that project’s price.
No, and that is the point of doing it first. You get the written assessment regardless. Sometimes the useful answer is a different approach, or a provider better suited to the work. The review says so plainly rather than selling you the next step.
No. It is a starting price for qualifying small, focused projects that are already substantially complete. Larger, higher-risk, or more complex work requires custom evaluation.
Yes. Building something from a blank page is one of the main things we do. New websites, custom tools, custom software, and the planning that comes before them are all on the services page.
Ownership follows the written agreement. Client-controlled accounts are used when practical, while third-party services, templates, fonts, assets, plugins, open-source software, and platforms remain subject to their own terms.
Yes. House of Crimson is based in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and provides remote service across the United States.
Yes, when the project and hosting arrangement qualify for an ongoing support scope.
