Black Bits

Black Bits is a software agency that works almost entirely in Laravel, the PHP framework, and runs client platforms on AWS. Set up in 2014 and based in Grants Pass, Oregon, it builds new applications, takes over existing ones and helps them cope with growth. Clients deal directly with the two senior partners, without account managers or junior staff in between.

What Black Bits offers

• Consulting — choosing a strategy and the right tools before any code is written.
• Development — iterative, agile builds that clients can follow from the first release.
• Scaling — moving new or running setups onto a modern cloud architecture.
• Technical leadership — architecture reviews, vendor evaluation and strategic direction for firms without a full-time CTO.
• Maintenance — keeping production platforms running, with a direct line for outages.

Who it works with

Clients range from startups with first funding to large companies and enterprise portfolio businesses that want to modernise, including those without an in-house development team.
