Real products, live in the wild
A few things we have designed, built, and shipped. Every one is online right now, so go click around.
A build you can actually follow
No black boxes and no month-long silences. You see progress every step, and you own everything at the end.
Discover
We start with a conversation about your goals, users, and constraints, then map the fastest path to something real.
Design
You see the product before we build it: clickable designs, clear scope, and a fixed, honest quote.
Build
We ship in small, visible steps so you always know where things stand and can steer as we go.
Launch
We handle deployment, hand you the keys, and stick around for support. You own the code, always.
A studio that works the way you wish agencies did
Senior people, plain talk, fixed prices, and code that is yours to keep.
Senior, hands-on
You work directly with the people writing the code. No account managers, no handoffs, no telephone game.
Local to Chico
Based in Chico, California, and happy to meet in person. Also works great fully remote.
Modern, boring tech
A proven stack chosen for speed and longevity, not hype. Fast to build, cheap to run, easy to maintain.
Clear and honest
Fixed quotes, plain-English updates, and code you fully own. No lock-in, no surprises on the invoice.
What it is like to work with Rune
Placeholder quotes for now. Real client words drop in here as projects wrap.
“Rune shipped in weeks what other shops quoted us months for, and the code was clean enough that our team could keep building on it.”
“They actually explained the tradeoffs in words I understood, gave a fixed price, and hit it. Rare and refreshing.”
“The site is fast, it ranks, and I can update it myself. Exactly what I asked for and nothing I did not.”
