Bring us in where you need us. We can help launch something new, improve what you already have, join your engineering team, or assess an app before real users depend on it.
Turn a product idea into a useful first release.
You have a clear problem to solve and need help shaping, designing and building the first version.
Make an existing product easier to use, maintain and grow.
You have something in market, but the product, codebase or user experience needs focused improvement.
Add experienced engineering support where your team needs it.
Your team has the product context and direction, but needs additional capacity for a defined area of work.
Understand the risks in an app before real users depend on it. Production hardening can be scoped separately as follow-on work after the assessment.
An app was built quickly, often with AI-assisted or vibe-coded development, and you need a grounded review before moving further.
We agree on the app, access, focus areas and boundaries for a paid assessment before the work begins.
Depending on scope, we review authentication and authorization, data handling, secrets and dependencies, key user journeys, error handling, tests, and deployment, rollback and observability.
You get written findings, a prioritized risk and fix backlog, and a recommendation for what to do next.
The assessment stands on its own, and there is no obligation to buy remediation. Remediation is a separate scoped engagement. If we continue, we provide test and release evidence within the agreed scope and call out known unresolved risks. We can also recommend specialist security or compliance work when it is needed.
Every project is scoped after we understand the product, the people involved and the work that needs to happen. We will discuss fit and scope before any commitment. An assessment is not a security or compliance certification, a guarantee of security, or a universal production-ready approval.
DrawChicken helps founders and business owners build, improve and assess useful digital products. Here are straightforward answers about the work and how to get started.
DrawChicken is a software and product development studio. We build useful websites, web and mobile apps, custom CMSs, integrations, reporting tools, automation and prototypes. See examples of our work.
PortfolioYes. We can provide engineering support for a defined area of work, align with your existing ways of working and review process, and document or hand off the work completed.
Staff augmentationYes. We can perform a bounded paid assessment and provide written findings plus a prioritized risk and fix backlog. Remediation is optional and separately scoped. An assessment is not a security or compliance certification, a guarantee of security, or universal production-ready approval.
App assessmentSend a brief project summary and what you need help with. Do not send passwords, credentials, payment details, health information or sensitive customer data. We will discuss fit and scope before any commitment. There is no fixed price or timeline promise before the work is scoped.
Start a projectDrawChicken helps define useful work, design the experience, and build the software. We can launch a product, improve an existing one, contribute to an established team, or assess a bounded app and turn the findings into a practical next scope.
Design and build a publishing system around the way your team actually creates, organizes, and manages content.
Turn a useful product idea into a focused first release, with product judgment, design, and software execution in one team.
Good software decisions start with the problem, the workflow, and the first useful release. These guides cover common decisions before starting product or app work.
How to decide whether your publishing workflow needs a custom CMS, a configured existing platform, or a smaller change.
A practical guide to defining the problem, first release, users, and responsibilities before product development begins.
Understand what a focused app assessment can review, what it produces, and what it does not promise.
