How it works

Three steps. Software live in days.

01

Submit Brief

Describe your project in plain English — what you want built, who it's for, and what it must do. No technical knowledge required. Takes under 5 minutes.

02

Get Scope

Our AI generates a full project plan in minutes: architecture, tech stack, phased build breakdown, timeline, and a flat cost estimate. No surprises.

03

Ship Software

Approve the scope, choose a package, and we start building immediately. Production-grade code, deployed and ready. You own it outright.

Common questions

Everything you want to know
before submitting a brief

Is my data secure? +
Yes. Your project brief and scope data are stored encrypted and never shared with third parties. We use industry-standard AES-256 encryption for all stored data. Our infrastructure runs on enterprise-grade cloud providers with SOC 2 compliance. Your source code is delivered directly to you — we don't retain copies after handoff.
How long does a project take? +
Most projects are scoped within minutes and building begins the same day you purchase. Timeline depends on scope: Kickstart packages (MVP, Phase 1 only) typically deliver in 3–7 days. Full Build packages ship complete projects in 1–3 weeks. The Scale package includes 3 months of ongoing iteration after initial delivery. You'll see your specific estimate in the scope we generate from your brief.
What if I'm not satisfied? +
100% money-back guarantee if we don't deliver what was scoped. We stand behind our work completely. If the delivered software doesn't match the approved scope, you get a full refund — no questions, no negotiation. We've built this guarantee into our model because we're confident in what we ship.
Do I own the code? +
Yes, 100%. You receive full source code with complete ownership. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in, no ongoing dependency on Forgework. The code is yours to host wherever you want, modify however you need, and hand off to any developer.
What kinds of projects can you build? +
Web applications, internal tools, APIs, dashboards, SaaS products, customer portals, booking systems, e-commerce stores, data pipelines, and more. Our AI agents are strongest with full-stack web projects. We're transparent in the scope if something falls outside what we can deliver — you only pay if we're confident we can build it.
What if my project is bigger than the packages? +
Large projects are scoped in phases. The Kickstart package delivers your MVP (Phase 1). You can then purchase Full Build for the remaining phases. For enterprise-scale projects or ongoing development, the Scale package covers 3 months of active iteration. Complex projects ($50k+ traditional agency value) are well within our scope — just submit your brief and we'll show you exactly how we'd break it down.

the ones with no employees

Forgework is building the future of software development. Not tools for developers. A replacement for the entire agency.
