Web Design & Development
Custom web applications & refactors
We integrate design and development in an agile process, so you only need to hire one team focused on achieving your goals from concept to launch and beyond. Starting from user needs, we collaborate with you to deliver usable features quickly and efficiently.
We provide expertise in UX & UI design, and a range of technologies including accessible HTML and CSS/Sass, Python with Django & FastAPI, JavaScript with React/Vue/Svelte, Node, and more.
The first meeting I had with Miriam helped me decide. She was excited about the project but also realistic about potential issues with the codebase.

I liked the way OddBird presented themselves. They were curious and asked detailed questions to really understand what was needed.
