Built like it's
your infrastructure.
Because it is. How we handle security, code quality, and client agreements — written down, so your procurement team doesn't have to ask.
How We Build
All code is reviewed before it reaches your staging environment. No direct-to-production changes — every release moves through version control with a full history you can inspect.
Client credentials live in a password manager with per-project vaults — never in email, chat, or code. Access is revoked at project close, and we'll sign your access policy if you have one.
Every project gets an isolated staging environment. You approve on staging before anything touches production. Rollback plans exist before deploys, not after incidents.
Plugins and packages are vetted before use and kept current during retainers. We build custom over bolting on unmaintained third-party code — fewer dependencies, smaller attack surface.
Login protection, XML-RPC disabled, file-edit lockdown, least-privilege roles, automated backups, and security headers as standard — not as an upsell.
Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals are checked before launch and monitored on retainers. Performance is a deliverable with numbers, not a promise.
Your Data, Your Rules
We build with EU data protection in mind — consent-first analytics, cookie compliance, data-minimal forms, and EU hosting options. We've delivered for German clients where GDPR isn't optional.
We sign your NDA before the first discovery call if you prefer. Several of our client engagements are under NDA today; you'll notice some portfolio entries stay vague on purpose.
All code, designs, and assets are assigned to you on final payment. No licensing lock-in, no proprietary frameworks holding your site hostage. You get the repositories.
Fixed-price milestones mean you pay for delivered, approved work. Prefer escrow? We work through Upwork's escrow system on request — your funds release only when you approve.
We've built payment-gateway integrations (Stripe, Wise, PayPal), medical clinic sites, and B2B platforms handling wholesale pricing data — projects where a data leak isn't an inconvenience, it's a liability.
What If Something Happens?
StackMesh is founder-led — you talk to the person writing the code, not an account manager. Behind that is a vetted network of specialists (design, DevOps, QA) engaged per-project. Small enough to care, connected enough to scale.
Handover documentation is a standard deliverable: architecture notes, deployment steps, credentials inventory, and content-editing guides. Any competent developer can pick up where we left off — that's the test we hold ourselves to.
Anything broken within 30 days of launch is fixed free, no argument. After that, retainers from $299/month cover updates, security, backups, and monitoring.
