Custom software and websites, built in Pittsburgh.

TOP Development is a Pittsburgh-based software studio with two service lines: Custom Software Builds (web apps, mobile apps, backends, and full SaaS products) and Custom Websites (custom-designed sites with our TOPrism CMS and AEO built in, for $750 with 12 months of hosting included). We are a builder, not just a vendor, and we ship and operate our own software too.

Custom Websites are $750 with 12 months of hosting included. Custom Software Builds start at $10K for TOP Launch, $15K for TOP Build, and $50K for TOP Enterprise, and they are fixed-price and scoped during discovery, so there are no hourly surprises. Hosting after the first year starts at $25 per month.

TOPrism is our content management system, built into every TOP website. It lets you update your own content, products, and orders without calling a developer every time something changes. You control the content. We handle the software underneath.

Custom Software Builds run 6 to 16 weeks or more depending on tier: TOP Launch takes 6 to 10 weeks, TOP Build 8 to 14, and TOP Enterprise 12 to 16 or more. We work in one-week sprints with an end-of-sprint demo and progress report every week, so you always see what is being built.

By default you receive a perpetual non-exclusive license and we retain the source code. If you want full ownership, the code ownership buyout is $1,500, which is also what you need to self-host. We can also set the project up on your own AWS account through AWS Passover for $1,500.

Yes. We use AI tools to move faster, but every line of work is reviewed, tested, and built to production standards. AI is a lever for speed, not a substitute for an engineer who finishes what he starts.
