Make Small Things — software development and technical consulting.
We’re a small, independent studio. We help companies build software and make better technical decisions — from a first prototype to a production system, or a second opinion on the one you already have.
We keep projects small and focused: a clear scope up front, working code early and often, and a clean handover at the end. Between client projects, we build small tools of our own.

Every engagement ends the same way: working software, and everything you need to keep it running without us.
Web applications, backends and APIs, internal tools and automation. We choose proven technology that fits the problem, and write code your own team can read and maintain after we’ve gone.
Architecture reviews, technology choices, code audits, and an independent second opinion before you commit budget. You get clear, written recommendations you can act on.
Turn an idea into something real users can try in a matter of weeks, then decide with evidence what’s worth building next — and what isn’t.
Small by design. You work directly with the people writing your code. No account managers, no hand-offs between teams, no one relaying messages.
Clear scope, honest estimates. Every engagement starts with a short written scope: what we’ll build, what we won’t, and roughly how long it will take. If something changes, you hear about it early.
You own everything. Code, accounts and documentation are yours from day one. We hand over in a state where any capable developer can pick the work up.
