Vicari Studio · Indiana

Software built to work, to be understood, and to be yours.

A software studio in Indiana. We design and build web and mobile software, connect it to the services it depends on, and keep it running after launch.

01 / What we do

Build it, connect it, keep it running.

Three kinds of work and one way of working: scoped in writing, accepted by you, and yours once it is paid.

  • Build

    01

    The first version of a product, or the rebuild of one that has outgrown how it was made. Web applications, mobile apps, and the systems behind them.

  • Connect

    02

    The integrations that make a product real: payments, banking and identity providers, booking and ordering platforms, the APIs nobody else wants to touch.

  • Keep running

    03

    After delivery, a maintenance plan with response times and included requests, or work per request. Either way, what you paid for is yours.

02 / How we work

Nothing starts on a handshake.

Scope, sign-off, payment and release all happen in the client portal, in that order, and each step leaves a record you keep.

There is never a question about where things stand, what was agreed, or what you own.

Open the client portal
  1. A written scope

    Milestones, each with acceptance criteria a person could check, a price, and a date.

  2. Your sign-off on each milestone

    In the portal, on a staging build, before anything is invoiced.

  3. Payment by invoice

    Card or bank, and release after payment. Each milestone is yours once it is paid.

  4. A record of all of it

    Agreements, acceptances, invoices and releases, kept by the studio and shared with you.

03 / Approach

Pragmatic about tools. Serious about depth.

The work is judged by whether it holds up after launch, so the choices are practical ones and the depth goes where a failure would hurt.

  1. 01

    The practical choice

    Proven tools your team can hire for and change later, chosen for the problem in front of us. Something new has to earn its place in your product.

  2. 02

    Depth in the hard parts

    Backend and systems work is where the studio is strongest: data, integrations, payments, and the paths that fail quietly. Interfaces are kept clean and functional.

  3. 03

    Honest about the edges

    When a problem sits outside what the studio knows well, you hear that first. Then it is learned properly, or it goes to someone who already knows it.

Notes from jeryn.me

If there’s a tool I don’t know, I’ll learn it. If there’s a system I don’t understand, I’ll use all of my time until I do.

Jeryn Vicari, jeryn.me/about

My focus is backend and systems-level programming, though designing clean, functional interfaces has come naturally along the way.

If I can’t write it clearly, I don’t understand it yet.

04 / Who does the work

One studio, and the people it trusts.

Jeryn Vicari leads every engagement and is the person you talk to. When a project needs a specialism, or more hands to hold a date, the studio brings in people it has worked with and trusts.

However many people touch the work, you deal with one studio: one agreement, one invoice, one point of contact.

Your written consent first
Nobody outside the studio works on your project until you have agreed to it in writing.
Under the studio's contract
Anyone brought in works for the studio, not around it. Their work is reviewed by the studio and accepted by you against the same criteria, and the studio answers for it.
The same terms all the way down
The same confidentiality applies, and what they build becomes the studio's, so it is yours on payment like everything else.
