You've probably talked to other development companies. They probably said similar things — quality, expertise, communication, delivery.

Everyone says those things.

So let me tell you what we actually do differently, and more importantlyhow we back it up.

THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AGENCIES

Here's what typically happens:

THE PITCH

Phase 1: The Pitch

Senior architects show up. They're impressive. They understand your business. They talk about scalability, best practices, agile methodology. You feel confident. You're sold.

THE SWITCH

Phase 2: The Switch

Project kicks off. Those senior people? Gone. Moved to the next pitch. Now you're talking to an 'account manager' who doesn't understand the technology. The actual coding? Junior developers in a different timezone that you've never met.

THE TRAP

Phase 3: The Trap

You're months in. Budget is spent. The code is a mess, but it 'works.' Documentation is sparse or nonexistent. You want to leave, but starting over would cost more than continuing. You're trapped — not because the work is good, but because leaving is too expensive.

Sound familiar?

We built ByteForever to be the opposite.

Six Promises We Put in Writing

Not marketing promises. Contractual commitments.

Senior Engineers Only

5+ years experience. No exceptions.

The Commitment:

Every engineer on your project has 5+ years of production experience. No junior developers learning on your dime. No offshore rotation.

Our Backup:

You'll meet your entire team before we start. If you ever feel you're getting junior work, tell us. We'll fix it or you don't pay.

Money-Back Guarantee

First sprint doesn't deliver? You don't pay.

The Commitment:

If our first sprint doesn't meet the success criteria we define together, you pay nothing for that sprint. No arguments. No fine print.

Our Backup:

We define measurable success criteria before starting. At sprint end, we review against those criteria. If we miss them, we don't invoice.

100% Code Ownership

Your code. Your IP. From day one.

The Commitment:

Every line of code belongs to you immediately. Full repository access from day one. Complete documentation. No licensing fees. Ever.

Our Backup:

It's in our contract. You can fire us tomorrow and take everything with you. We'll even help with the transition.

Direct Access

No account managers. Talk to engineers.

The Commitment:

You talk to our engineers directly. No telephone game through account managers who don't understand the technology.

Our Backup:

I'm personally available for any escalation. Your project lead is a senior engineer, not a project manager. We use Slack for real-time communication. You'll see working demos every Friday — no surprises, no waiting until 'it's done.'

No Lock-in

Standard tech. Walk away anytime.

The Commitment:

We use standard technologies. We write documented code. You can take your project to any other team tomorrow and they'll understand it.

Our Backup:

No proprietary frameworks. Knowledge transfer to your team or next vendor is included in every project.

Built to Last

Engineered for 10+ years, not just shipping fast.

The Commitment:

We build software designed to run for a decade. Maintainable code. Scalable architecture. Security by design.

Our Backup:

Code reviews, automated testing, security considerations, and documentation are built in — not bolted on at the end.

Money-back on first sprint

"We're not the cheapest option. We're the option that doesn't cost you more in the long run."

14 Specialists. No Rotation.

Our team isn't a pool of developers we swap based on availability. It's a carefully assembled group of senior specialists who work together, project after project.

Full Team Coverage

Your project gets senior expertise across:

  • Full-Stack Engineering
  • DevOps & Cloud
  • Mobile Development
  • AI & Automation
  • QA & Testing
  • Product Design

Every engineer: 5+ years experience. No exceptions.

What This Means for You

  • Average 5+ years experience per engineer
  • Same people from kickoff to launch
  • No junior developers on your project
  • Direct communication with the people building

HONEST TALK: WE'RE NOT RIGHT FOR EVERYONE

You need the cheapest option

We're not the lowest-cost provider. If budget is the primary constraint, look elsewhere. (You might spend more fixing issues later, but the initial price will be lower.)

You need it in 2 weeks

We don't cut corners to hit unrealistic deadlines. We'll tell you the real timeline. If you need a working prototype in two weeks, we can discuss it. If you need a production system, we'll be honest about what's realistic.

You want dedicated developers 24/7

We don't do body shopping. We build teams for projects, not rent out individuals full-time.

You're not sure what to build

We're engineers, not product consultants. If you need help figuring out what to build, start with a product strategy firm. Then come to us for engineering.

"We turn away projects that aren't right for us. It's better for everyone."
