Sierra‑117 · A small tech studio · Since 2026
We build useful
websites and untangle
the tech behind them.
A three-person studio helping small businesses and local organizations ship sites that actually work — and the systems that keep them running. No buzzwords, no framework cosplay.
§ 01 — What we do
Six ways we help.
02 / Product & Apps
Small apps that carry their weight
Internal tools, member portals, booking flows, dashboards. We design them, build them, and won't disappear after launch.
From $3.5k2–4 wks
03 / Tech advisory
A fractional CTO who returns emails
Stack audits, vendor picks, hiring the first engineer, untangling the dashboard nobody remembers building.
$1.5k / moOngoing
04 / Care & hosting
We keep the lights on
Hosting, backups, security updates, content edits, the occasional “can you change the header real quick.” On a friendly retainer.
From $180 / moMonth-to-month
05 / Migrations
Move platforms without the all-nighter
WordPress → modern CMS, Squarespace → custom, Webflow → a stack your team can own. We plan it, you approve it, nothing breaks.
From $1.2k1–2 wks
06 / Workshops
Half-days for your team
Design-system basics, “how our website actually works,” picking an analytics stack you'll actually read.

§ 02 — Why us
Most agencies sell you a shape. We build you something you can live in.
We're three people — two software engineers and a security engineer — building websites and small tools for clients who want their software to work in a year, not just on launch day.
Sierra‑117 is new, deliberately small, and based in the NY/NJ/PA area. We pick projects we can actually commit to, ship quickly, and stay around to maintain. Every site we hand off is something your team — or ours — can keep running without surprises.
