About
“Small businesses deserve the same quality software as big companies, without the big-company price tag or runaround. When you work with 1401Apps, you work directly with me.”
I’ve spent 10+ years building software and leading engineering teams at companies including Amazon, much of it on consumer-facing websites. Before writing any code, I learn how your business and industry work and what frustrates your customers, then build something that fixes it.

FAQ
Common questions
How much does a small business website cost?
Websites start at $2,900 for up to 5 pages, or $4,900 with online booking or payments. After a free consultation you get a fixed quote, so the price you agree to is the price you pay.
How long does it take to build a website or app?
Most small business websites launch in 2 to 4 weeks. Apps and custom tools depend on scope; you get a realistic timeline in your quote.
Do you only work with businesses in the DMV?
We focus on Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia so we can meet in person, but we also work remotely with businesses anywhere in the US.
Will my website show up on Google?
Every site is built with SEO fundamentals: fast load times, mobile-friendly design, proper page structure, and structured data. We can also set up your Google Business Profile.
I'm not technical. Is that a problem?
Not at all. We explain everything in plain English and handle the technical details for you.
What happens after launch?
You can choose a monthly care plan for updates, hosting, and fixes, or we hand everything over to you with documentation. You own your code, domain, and data either way.
