The kit's job is to make the 80% so good that the bespoke 20% can carry the site's identity.
Shipped in eight weeks. Six months later it still runs without a babysitter.
From 4 weeks for a focused build sprint up to multi-quarter platform work. We scope before we start.
Yes — we run what we build, with on-call coverage and runbooks handed off cleanly.
Absolutely. A common shape is 2 days/week of CTO-level help plus a focused engineering pod.

Most engagements ship in 6–12 weeks and continue under an Operate retainer.
Daily standup at 10am.
Weekly demo Friday 3pm.
Monthly review first Tuesday.
New: each TabItem can carry an icon and a tone — accent / success / warning / danger / info / neutral.
All systems nominal.
Two warnings need review.
One service degraded.
Scheduled maintenance Tuesday.
Active pill flows into a tone-colored content panel as one visual element — pattern designers often hand-rolled with sprite sheets before.

Every kit section, rendered with sample data. Each section accepts a typed data prop validated by a Zod schema — see @techrev-inc/site-kit/schemas. Variants are noted on each block.
Style Guide demo
Hero in its 'centered' variant. Same content drives every theme.
Split variant
Use when the hero needs an illustration or product shot alongside the message.
Photography-as-layout
image-fullbleed — full-viewport photo, scrim overlay, headline bottom-left. Pairs Section bleed + dark cascade automatically.

Twelve-year-old PHP app rebuilt as typed Astro + Workers, zero downtime cutover.
Common questions
Anywhere from 4 weeks for a focused sprint to multi-quarter platform work.
Yes — always. You own everything on day one.
Yes. We run what we build, with on-call coverage and clean handoff path.
Form variant — POSTs to your /api/contact route.
Split variant — text on the left, CTAs on the right.
The single most recurring signature move across RPS's strongest Tier-3 sites — a trademarked methodology name + glyph + 3-6 named pillars with custom iconography. Used by BRPH (ThirdSpace™), CCT Corp (CCTK™), Lifestyle Homes (SunSmart/HealthSmart), Brevard Cares (C.A.R.E.S. Model), ASTI (Hassle Free IT 4S), Marketbridge (Wall Street Fast Pass).
Methodology
ThirdSpace ™
Our integrated design framework for hybrid environments.
Architecture grounded in context.
Spaces shaped around how teams gather.
Each decision serves the mission.
Measured, accountable outcomes.
Five steps that turn intake into outcomes — used across every case file we open.
The C.A.R.E.S. Model
First-line advocates respond within 24 hours.
Multidisciplinary review identifies root needs.
We connect families to the right support, not generic referrals.
Skill-building keeps families self-sufficient long-term.
Twelve-month follow-through prevents relapse into crisis.
Linear/Vercel-style tabbed feature explorer (pattern P-17). Three to five tabs swap an image + content panel below. Arrow keys move between tabs, Enter activates. Mobile (<768px) converts the tab list into a stacked native <details> accordion.
Capabilities
Click a tab, or arrow-key through them.
Engineering
Custom agents, eval suites, retrieval pipelines, and observability — built on stacks you can hire for. We ship working software in weeks, not slide decks.
Run & maintain
Runbooks, on-call rotations, monthly health reviews. Your platform stops being a project and starts being an asset.
Fractional CTO
Strategy, architecture, hiring, and a quiet voice in board prep. Pair us with your existing team — we make them faster.

Pattern P-08. Horizontal row of pill-shaped product links. Use as a taxonomy strip below the hero, or near a "platform" section. Mobile collapses to scroll-snap (default) or a 2-column grid.
Pattern P-19. Customer or partner mark row for at-a-glance social proof. Grayscale by default (color returns on hover). Marquee variant loops on mobile-width to keep the row dense.
Grid layout · grayscale on rest
Pattern P-07. Thin band above the NavBar advertising the freshest news / mission / role. Dismissible via the × — the dismissal persists in localStorage when storageKey is supplied. aria-live="polite" so screen readers announce on first paint. The demos below are rendered inline (not above the nav) so you can see all four kinds at once.
Pinned-scroll narrative (pattern P-01 — SpaceX, Anduril, Apple, Rocket Lab). The section pins while scenes crossfade with scroll. GSAP + ScrollTrigger lazy-mount via IntersectionObserver only when the section is within 1.5 viewports. Reduced-motion users get the static stack fallback automatically. Try scrolling slowly through the demo below.
Act 01
When the section pins, the page stops while the story moves. Scroll keeps progressing — the camera doesn't.
Act 02
Each scene is a [data-scene-id] wrapper. Opacity + translateY blends between them as you scroll.
Act 03
The driver bails before registering ScrollTrigger; CSS makes sure the static layout still reads correctly.
Typographic spec-block layout for content-heavy sections without photography. Each item renders as a brand-vivid rail + mono-caps coordinate + display headline + body. Looks like an engineering spec doc.
What we do
Engineering-spec layout — no card, no photo. Reads like a doctrine document.
Real-time control of launch pads, propellant handling, and pre-launch sequencing. Proven across 18 Antares missions.
Real-time telemetry, radar, and tracking-camera fusion for air, land, and maritime test ranges.
Multi-sensor surveillance with tracking-algorithm fusion for borders, perimeters, maritime traffic, and airspace.
Cryogenic, high-pressure-gas, and shock-test process control. Open-middleware foundation.
Instrumentation and facility control for hypersonic, high-Mach, and wave-heater testing.
Experienced engineers integrating software, electrical, and mechanical systems across the mission lifecycle.
Magazine-style alternating photo/text strips for case studies, featured projects, and in-depth feature lanes. Each item is a 50/50 split that auto-alternates sides.
Selected work
One hero tile + N satellite tiles. Use when one item is genuinely the headliner (a platform core surrounded by extensions; a flagship feature; the most-recent project).
The platform
CCTK is the core; the four extensions stand on the same foundation.
Asymmetric tile layout with per-item column/row spans. Visual hierarchy comes from size variety rather than uniform cards. Mobile collapses to single column.
Highlights
Each tile declares its own colSpan/rowSpan in a 6-column grid.
Headliner
4-column span, 2-row span. Carries the visual weight of the whole bento.
Supporting
022-column span. Sits to the right of the hero.
Supporting
03Another 2-column tile under the secondary.
Footer
04Spans the bottom 3 columns.
Note
05Small 3-column tile.
As the user scrolls, a sticky media column crossfades through one image per step. Pure vanilla JS, no React. Respects prefers-reduced-motion (collapses to a stacked list). Below 880px or with reduced-motion, every step renders inline.
Tour
Sticky media on the left swaps as the right column scrolls.
STEP 01
Mission systems engineering starts with the requirements + concept of operations. CCT works with your team to scope the system, the interfaces, and the acceptance criteria.
STEP 02
CCTK is the core middleware. Modular, open, deployed across launch + range + surveillance. Your system sits on the same foundation as 18 Antares missions.
STEP 03
Deployment isn't the end — we operate alongside your team. Continuous integration of new sensors, new platforms, new mission profiles.
Alternating portrait/bio profile section. Each member row auto-alternates photo side by index. Optional two-column intro paragraphs above the profile rows. CTA button uses the gradient variant.
The people behind the work.
We are a small, senior team that builds and operates production software for clients who can't afford downtime.
Every project gets a dedicated lead, a clear scope, and a weekly demo — no surprises, no slide-deck handoffs.
Founder
Alex has spent 15 years building production systems at the intersection of aerospace, defense, and enterprise software. Founded the studio to bring that rigor to every client.
Meet AlexCreative Director
Jordan leads design across the studio — from brand identity to component libraries. Obsessed with the space where visual craft meets engineering precision.
Meet JordanCalm, typographic two-column intro section. Left column: eyebrow + large serif heading. Right column: 1–3 body paragraphs. No media, no buttons. Two alignment variants below.
Our Approach
Every engagement starts with a one-page scope document. If we can't explain what we're building and why in a single page, we're not ready to build it.
This discipline keeps projects on time, on budget, and free of the scope drift that kills most software projects before they ship.
Our Philosophy
The best systems are the ones your users never have to think about. They just work — reliably, quickly, and without drama.
Credential/partner logo showcase on a rich dark or brand background. Full-color logos on white rounded tiles. Contrast with LogoWall (grayscale, neutral background).
From startups to Fortune 500 — our clients trust us with their most critical systems.
