How we ship in Gainesville

A predictable software process — not a black box.

Every Gainesville engagement runs on the same five-stage cadence. You see working software every week, your code lives in your repo from day one, and you keep velocity even after we roll off.

  1. 1

    Discovery (week 0)

    1-week paid sprint: technical scoping, user interviews, architecture proposal, and a fixed-bid quote. You walk away owning the docs whether you continue or not.

  2. 2

    Design system (week 1)

    A senior product designer builds the component library, brand application, and high-fidelity flows for the critical user journeys.

  3. 3

    Engineering (weeks 2–5)

    Two senior engineers ship full-stack in 1-week increments. Demo every Friday. Live staging URL from day one.

  4. 4

    Launch (week 6)

    Production deploy, observability, payments live, marketing site polished, App Store submitted. We ship on the date we promised.

  5. 5

    Handover & support

    Architecture walkthrough, runbook, and a 30/60/90-day support window. Optional retainer if you want us to keep building.

Common questions

Software development in Gainesville, FL — answered.

Don't see your question? Browse more locations or start a conversation below.

Do you actually have engineers in Gainesville?
Envert is a distributed senior team that ships software for Gainesville founders and operators. We work in your time zone, meet on-site when the project warrants it, and partner with local stakeholders the same way an in-town shop would — without the bench-warming overhead.
How much does a typical Gainesville software project cost?
A 6-week MVP usually lands between $35K and $80K depending on integrations and design surface. A 3-month growth build is typically $90K–$220K. Staff-augmented squads start around $18K/month per senior engineer. Final pricing is locked in a paid discovery sprint.
What tech stack do you build on?
Web: TypeScript with React, Next.js or TanStack Start, Postgres (often via Supabase), Stripe and Cloudflare. Mobile: React Native + Expo with EAS for OTA updates. AI features: Lovable AI Gateway, pgvector and streaming UX. We choose stacks that hire well in Florida so you can take the code anywhere.
Who owns the code and infrastructure?
You do — 100%, day one. The repo lives in your GitHub org, the database in your cloud account, the domain on your DNS. We never gate ownership behind a retainer, and there's no proprietary "platform" you'd be locked into.
Can you take over a project another agency started?
Yes — we run a paid 1–2 week audit first: stack review, security & data model assessment, and a written migration plan. From there we either stabilize what's there or replatform in slices so the live product keeps shipping.
Do you do design too, or just engineering?
Both. Every engagement starts with a senior product designer working alongside engineering — no handoff doc, no "design-then-build" cliff. That's how we ship a polished product in 6 weeks instead of 6 months.
