Websites
Fast, maintainable websites built to fit the business behind them.
Public sites, service websites, customer journeys and future-ready integrations.
Software built around the work
Build what the business actually needs.
Blackline Development creates websites, applications, bots, integrations and automation for people and businesses that need something more specific than an off-the-shelf tool.
What we build
Useful systems, not software for the sake of it.
The starting point is the outcome you need. The technology comes after the problem is understood, so the finished product stays focused instead of accumulating unnecessary complexity.
Applications
Purpose-built software for workflows that generic tools do not solve cleanly.
Desktop, web and operational applications with maintainability designed in from the start.
Automation
Reduce repetitive work without hiding important decisions from the people responsible for them.
Integrations, bots and workflow automation with clear ownership and safe failure states.
Managed Services
Keep the systems around your project running after the build is complete.
Hosting, maintenance, business email and domain management as standalone subscriptions.
Managed services
Keep the parts you need managed.
Managed services are standalone subscriptions, separate from commissioned development. Choose only what you need, monthly or yearly.

Commissioned development
The job is priced before you choose the pace.
We scope the actual work first and establish a base job price. Public service tiers then change response time, queue priority and expected development pace — not the scope you receive.

Tell us what the finished result needs to do. We will identify the unknowns before pretending there is a reliable price.
Start with the requirementFor a new build
Commission the work. Host it wherever makes sense.
A commission does not force you into a monthly Blackline subscription. You can take the finished work and self-host, or add managed services separately.
How commissions workFor ongoing support
Keep Blackline involved after launch.
Hosting, maintenance, business email and domain management can remain with us without being bundled into the original development price.
