Founded 2005 · AI-native since 2021
Websites, apps, and platforms for organizations and communities.
We started building web presences in 2005. We build them with AI agents now. A two-person shop can deliver what used to take a ten-person team, and a small organization can afford software that used to be out of reach.
What we build
Four kinds of work, one standard.
Most clients arrive with one of these. Sometimes it turns out to be a different one, and we'll say so before you spend anything.
All services, including care and hosting- 01
Websites and web applications
Marketing sites, member portals, directories, content platforms, internal tools. Fast, searchable, easy for your staff to update.
Learn more - 02
Mobile apps
iOS and Android, built from one codebase when that fits and native when it doesn't. We handle store submission, the review process, and the releases after launch.
Learn more - 03
Platforms and products
Multi-tenant software, APIs, accounts and permissions, payments, event-driven services. The work behind a product, not the brochure in front of it.

Data and AI
Pipelines that clean and join messy records, search that finds the right thing, and AI features that do a specific job instead of a chat box bolted to a sidebar.

How the work changed
The same firm. A different production line.
For most of our twenty years, building software meant hiring people and waiting. Every feature cost a developer-week. Every change order cost an argument.
We deliver with AI agents now. A written specification goes in. Agents write and review the code against it, automated gates catch what they miss, and a separate verification pass runs before anything reaches you. We read the specification and the result. We do not hand you a pile of code and call it progress.
- Scope stops being the enemy.
- Adding a feature costs a clearer specification, not a renegotiation.
- Small organizations get real software.
- Projects that used to need a $400,000 budget and a product team now don't.
- You see working software early.
- We build the thing rather than describing the thing.
One project, start to finish
- 1
Written specification
What the software will do, agreed before anything is built.
- 2
Agents build and review
Code is written and reviewed against that document.
- 3
Automated gates
Tests, type checks, security scans, performance budgets, on every change.
- 4
Verification pass
An independent check against the acceptance standard.

You use it
Working software, and you tell us where it's wrong.
Selected work
ScholarComp
We build ScholarComp, a K-12 academic competition results platform. It holds more than 13 million competition results, matches student and school records across thousands of inconsistent sources, and runs a rating system across competitions that were never designed to be compared.
It runs on event-driven services with isolated data per service, a data warehouse behind it, and a mobile-first front end. Two people direct the build.

Why “habitats”
A place, not a brochure.
eHabitats started in 2005 on a simple idea: an organization's presence online should work like a habitat rather than a brochure. A place that fits the people who use it, holds what matters, and lasts.
That framing held up better than the technology around it. The tools changed roughly every three years. The idea didn't. Social platforms bring reach. Your habitat holds the relationship: who your members are, what they did, what they care about.
Who we work with
Organizations with people to keep track of.
- Schools and districts
- Associations and professional groups
- Nonprofits and foundations
- Faith communities
- Municipalities and civic organizations
- Founders building a first product
The common thread: you have members, students, donors, or customers, and you need software that knows who they are and what they did.
Tell us what you need.
Send a paragraph about your organization and the problem in front of you. We'll tell you whether we're the right shop, what we'd build, and what it costs. If we're not the right shop, we'll say so and point you somewhere better.
