ARQ Software / A product studio

BLUEPRINT TO PRODUCT IN 30 DAYS.

ARQ designs, engineers, and ships production-grade web, mobile, and AI products with the rigor of architecture and the pace of a sprint.

01Manifesto

We design. We engineer. We ship.

No decks that go nowhere. No quarters lost to discovery. We compress the distance between an idea and the people it serves.

02Services

What we build.

  • ARQ / SVC

    Web Applications

    Dashboards, platforms, and portals engineered for scale. Typed end to end, fast by default.

  • ARQ / SVC

    Mobile

    Native-feel iOS and Android apps from a single codebase. Offline-first, store-ready.

  • ARQ / SVC

    AI & Automation

    LLM features, agents, and pipelines that earn their keep. Measured, observable, safe.

  • ARQ / SVC

    Product Design

    Interfaces with intent. Designed in the open, prototyped early, tested with real users.

03Process

Thirty days,
four moves

01

Discover

We map the territory: your users, constraints, and the one feature that actually matters. Scope locks by day three.

02

Design

Wireframes become a system: tokens, components, and flows you can click. Nothing decorative survives review.

03

Build

Production code from week one. A working demo lands every 48 hours. No black boxes, no surprise rewrites.

04

Launch

Ship, measure, iterate. Day 30 is a beginning: auth, payments, analytics, and a roadmap that survives contact with users.

04Selected work

05Working terms

The deal, in numbers.

48hrs

Demo cadence

Something new works every two days. You watch the product move, not a status deck.

30days

Kickoff to launch

Median build time. Scope is locked before we write a line, so the date holds.

100%

Code you own

The repo is yours from the first commit. Tests, docs, and a handover that fits in an afternoon.

0

Surprise invoices

Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed up front. If scope changes, we re-quote, never mid-sprint.

06Pricing

Fixed scope, fixed price.

A starting point, not a final quote. We lock exact scope and price in a paid discovery before any code ships, so the number never moves mid-sprint.

Validation MVP

From $15k

2-3 weeks

One core workflow, built to put in front of real users and prove the riskiest assumption.

  • Single core workflow
  • Production-grade, not a prototype
  • Auth + basic analytics
  • Deployed and live
  • 100% code ownership

  • How long does it take ARQ to build an MVP?

    ARQ is a software studio based in Toronto, Ontario. We serve the Greater Toronto Area and Durham Region, and work with clients worldwide.

  • What does ARQ build?

    We design, engineer, and ship production-grade web applications, mobile apps, AI and automation features, and product design.

    Yes. The repository is yours from the first commit, including tests, documentation, and a handover that fits in an afternoon.

  • How does ARQ price projects?

    Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed up front. If scope changes we re-quote rather than surprise you with mid-sprint invoices.
