Most agencies build dashboards on theory. Highland builds them out of necessity — the same kinds of operational tools we use every day to run our own businesses. Three productized tiers, each with a real comparable build you can point at. Every engagement starts with a free 20-minute phone discovery call.
A focused operational dashboard for a single core workflow. Replaces a spreadsheet, paper system, or generic SaaS with software built specifically for how your business runs.
A multi-module dashboard for businesses running several connected workflows. The most common Highland engagement — typically replaces 3–5 spreadsheets or generic SaaS tools with one unified system.
A subscription product or complex internal platform. For founders shipping a real SaaS or operators building software that scales beyond a single team.
Custom logo creation for small businesses — sold standalone or paired with a website build. One focused offering, no brand-identity upsells. If you need a logo, this is what it costs. Final scope is confirmed in a written proposal following our discovery call.
A custom logo, built from scratch, for businesses that need a polished mark without paying for a full brand identity system they don't need.
Every Highland project includes 30 to 90 days of post-launch support. After that window, ongoing care plans keep your site or software secure, current, and improving. Three productized tiers, transparent pricing, no surprise invoices. Pause or cancel anytime with 30 days notice.
For static marketing sites, brochure sites, and small business websites that need to stay live, secure, and current — without ongoing development work.
For active business websites, e-commerce stores, and operational tools that need responsive support and steady iteration — the most common care plan engagement.
For custom dashboards, SaaS products, e-commerce stores at volume, and any business that depends on the software running every day.
