Test Working Software
Before You Commit a Dollar.
Low Code Road builds custom software for small and mid-sized businesses. Fixed price, starting at $10k. You own the code.
Sound Familiar?
Your team spends hours on repetitive tasks
Automated workflows turn 40-hour tasks into 4-minute ones.
Your systems don't talk to each other
We connect your tools so data flows with no more copy-paste.
You've outgrown spreadsheets, but enterprise software is overkill
Custom software sized to your business, with no six-figure contracts.
You make big calls without the numbers in front of you
Real-time dashboards built around the decisions you actually make.
Growth means hiring more people
Software that handles more volume without more headcount.
Here's our difference:
Working software in your hands before you commit.
Your working draft arrives in 1–2 weeks.
Complex builds may take longer.
How It Works
- Step One
Discovery Call
Tell us what's not working. We define the scope together.
FreeNo commitment, no pressure.
- Step Two
Build
A working draft in 1–2 weeks. Complex builds may take longer.
$10,000Per work unit, fixed price.
Due only if you move forward.
- Step Three
Test & Refine
Try the software yourself. Four rounds of changes get it exactly right.
Free4 rounds of changes included.
How work units work
Every $10k work unit is its own contract and ships working software you can use right away. Bigger projects stack work units one at a time, each delivering software you can use, with no massive commitment up front.
The code is always yours.
Full codebase turnover after final payment. No lock-in, no hostage code. You own your hosting account.
After the Build
Additional Changes

How We Compare
Low Code Road vs. an hourly development agency vs. off-the-shelf software.
| Compared on | Low Code Road | Hourly agency | Off-the-shelf software |
|---|---|---|---|
| How you pay | Fixed $10,000 per work unit | By the hour, as the work happens | Per-user subscription, every month |
| When you pay | Only after you test a working draft | Deposit or retainer up front | From day one |
| Working software | Draft in 1–2 weeks | After discovery and spec phases | Days to set up, then you adapt |
| Fits your process | Built around how you work | Built around how you work | You change your process to fit it |
| Who owns the code | You do, full codebase | Depends on the contract | The vendor |
| After launch | Optional, from $250/month | Hourly for every change | Subscription for as long as you use it |

Common Questions
How much does custom software cost?
Each work unit is a fixed $10,000. The discovery call is free, and the price includes a working draft and four rounds of changes. Larger projects are built as a series of $10k work units, each with its own contract. Changes beyond the four rounds are $2,000 per day.
Do I pay before I see working software?
No. You test a working draft before you commit. The $10,000 is due only if you move forward.
We tried custom software before and it failed. Why would this be different?
Failed projects usually follow the same pattern: months of discovery, hourly billing, and nothing working until the end. Here you get a working draft in 1–2 weeks and test it before you pay. The $10,000 work unit is fixed and due only if you move forward.
How fast will I see working software?
Your working draft arrives in 1–2 weeks. Complex builds may take longer.
How much of our time will the project take?
Not much. The main thing we need from you is help pinning down the scope. After that, you review working drafts instead of writing specs: tell us what isn't working, and the four included rounds of changes cover it. If now isn't the right time, that's okay. We're happy to pick it up when it is.
What is a work unit?
A work unit is a fixed-price, $10,000 piece of a project that ships working software you can use right away. Each work unit is its own contract, so bigger projects grow one work unit at a time with no large commitment up front.
How many work units will a project take?
Most projects take 1 to 7 work units, and most land on the lower end. It depends on complexity. We define the scope together on a free discovery call and give you a fixed price before you commit. Each work unit is its own contract, so a new need becomes the next work unit, not a surprise bill.
Who owns the code?
You do. We hand over the full codebase after final payment. You own your hosting account, and we can work directly in your GitHub repositories. No lock-in, no hostage code.
Does "low code" mean we'll outgrow it or get locked in?
No. We write real code in TypeScript, a widely used language for web apps, and host it in your own Azure or AWS account. We prefer Azure but are flexible. You get the full codebase after final payment, so the software can grow with your business and any developer can work on it.
What happens if Low Code Road goes away?
You keep everything: the full codebase, your own hosting account, and your own GitHub repositories if you prefer. We work with each client to make sure they have the documentation and notes they need, so another developer can pick it up.
What does support cost after the build?
Maintenance is $250/month, month-to-month, and covers backups and disaster recovery, security updates, and uptime monitoring. Maintenance + Dev is $2,000/month on an annual contract and includes one development day each month. Additional days are $2,000 each.
Can't we build this ourselves with AI tools?
You can, and the tools are good for getting started. The challenge is complexity: every feature you add makes the system harder to keep working. We deliver production-quality code with test coverage, good security practices, and backups designed around the data your system stores. Maintenance keeps it that way for $250/month.
What kind of software do you build?
Workflow automation, integrations between the tools you already use, inventory management, COGS tracking, and real-time dashboards. Typically software that replaces spreadsheets and manual work, sized to your business.
Will it work with the tools we already use?
Yes. We've integrated with QuickBooks Online, Google and Microsoft sign-in, CRMs including GoHighLevel and HubSpot, and many other platforms.
Why not just buy off-the-shelf software?
If off-the-shelf software fits how you work, buy it. Custom software makes sense when you're changing your process to fit the tool, paying per-user fees every month, or stitching tools together with spreadsheets. We'll tell you on the discovery call if off-the-shelf is the better fit.
Do you only work with businesses in Nashville?
No. Low Code Road is based in Nashville, Tennessee, and works with businesses and nonprofits across the United States.
