Build workflows of any complexity

We’ll give your docs intuitive design, make them future-proof, and ensure they won’t break or slow down over time.

⁠

⁠

⁠

⁠

⁠

⁠

Connect your docs to other apps

We can set up Coda to get the data in and out of your other services with custom packs or automation platforms.

Onboard the team when it’s ready

Any tool is a waste if a team rejects it. We’ll be happy to support your team with their adoption of the docs we make.

⁠

⁠

There’s plenty of Coda consultants and Makers for hire. So why choose us?

⁠

⁠

⁠

Artem is responsible. I am creative. Artem is a Product Manager with 8+ years of working with customers. He’ll plan out the project and find the perfect intersection of effort, budget, and speed. I love tinkering and hacking into things, and putting these discoveries to good use. I don’t keep that knowledge to myself but share openly for everyone to benefit from. Then there’s also copywriting and product design skills and mad attention to details. Together we can tackle just about any project.

We are Coda pioneers We were getting clients from the Community before any partner programs existed. ⁠ I wrote Coda Best Practices ⁠ and now they teach these in the Doctorate. Codans play around with our tricks and the Support Team cites my solutions. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ The most impactful discoveries ⁠ that opened up new ways to use Coda — it was us who first found and used most of them, and others followed lead.

⁠

⁠

⁠

We come from a strong coding background No-code hype aside, there’s no denying that a skilled software dev is going to be more efficient at solving problems than a maker with no coding experience. A non-coder follows the tutorials and doesn’t risk deviating can’t quickly adopt new tools, needs time to study can’t solve non-trivial problems without help can write a formula depends on coders to add the functionality they miss A coder can find new ways to use the tool because they know how it’s made under the hood sees common patterns and intuitively picks up new tools in minutes ⁠ is the one who helps ⁠ can make that formula 20x faster ⁠ ⁠ can build custom packs, write app scripts, and even spin up custom web apps that  connect back to Coda We aren’t saying every maker should be a coder. On the contrary, so much expertise and fresh perspectives can come from people of various backgrounds. We are saying, if you’re going to spend $$$ on an expert to make a doc that will run your business, you would expect it to work reliably and fast not only on the demo day but last you months and years and not degrade. You’d want a consultant who’d solve a problem themselves and asap, not send you to the Coda support. You’d want to be sure your expert actually knows what’s secure and what’s not ⁠ . And for non-workbook needs you’d prefer a maker who’ll find a way to make it work, not simply say they can’t. You can only be sure you get experts like this if you hire the ones who can code.

⁠

⁠

⁠

We speak the common language We won’t bore you with the geeky stuff. You won’t need a middleman ‘translator’ manager to handle us. In fact, we’d prefer to work with you, the owner, directly. First we’ll listen you out and learn all about your business as deeply as we can. There will be many stupidly obvious questions — we’re not experts in your trade, after all. 🙂 The more complete picture we get, the better solutions we can suggest. Then we’ll do our job and communicate the deliverables show you the results. We’ll explain everything to you and make sure you understand it. We won’t use pretentious and complicated lingo to make us look more “pro” but we won’t dumb it down either. We’re pretty pragmatic, too. We can feel you as a business owner and tell what’s viable and what’s not. We don’t blindly preach for no-code as a whole or any tool in particular. We can actually advise on more than just the tech stuff if you’d be interested in that.

We make docs enjoyable to use All the tricks in our arsenal serve one cause: ​make intuitive docs that feel like apps and behave in a familiar way. If you don’t make your docs like that, it won’t matter how much potential you see in Coda yourself. What your team is going to see is yet another spreadsheet software. We steer our docs as far as possible from that bland spreadsheet look. We won’t just give your users raw tables to edit. Instead we make interfaces that hand-hold them and  control what they can or cannot do in a doc. We heavily use buttons, add validation messages, and know at least five ways to design a data entry UI with Coda alone, each for a different purpose. Coda customization is limited. We know how to make the most of it, and then some. A few notable demos: ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Edit Images ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Viva Pizza ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Video Poker ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Duplicate finder and merger ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Putting out Fires GTD ⁠ ⁠ and this doc itself (so meta!) We closely follow Coda development, partake in new feature discussions and betas, and are the first to know when something is to launch or break. You can be sure that our docs follow the most recent best practices and won’t cause you trouble.

⁠

We will do

Build a doc (a system of docs) from ground up

⁠

⁠

Continue supporting the doc — or better, teach you to do it

⁠

⁠

Come back to add more features to the docs developed by us

⁠

⁠

Add features to docs developed by you or someone else — but only if they were built according to our

Best Practices

⁠

⁠

⁠

We won’t do

Collect data for you (data mining) or enter it into tables manually. We can help you automate data flows (e.g. from email invoices into Coda) but we won’t fill out tables by hand.

Extend docs that weren’t built according to our Best Practices. We will either rewrite those from scratch or take them up for
