About Altruvex
A software development company
that publishes how it works.
Altruvex designs and builds websites for businesses, and custom software built around how a business works. How projects run, the standards we build to and the price ranges are all published on this site.
What Altruvex is,
in plain terms.
- What we do
Two services, end to end: website design and development, and custom software such as internal business applications, workflow tools, dashboards and portals. Alongside them, technical audits of existing builds and maintenance after launch.
Explore services- What has shipped
Online stores for two lighting retailers, and this site. Each one is public, so you can open it and check it yourself.
View our work- Languages
Every language your site needs, right-to-left included, designed and engineered together from the first wireframe, not added at the end.
- How it is built
Custom code on Next.js, not a theme or a page builder. The performance, accessibility and security targets we build to are published in full.
See the standards- How a project runs
Five phases: discovery, wireframe, design, development and launch. You approve the structure and then the design before development starts.
See the process- Pricing and ownership
Ranges are published and every estimate is broken down before the contract. Payment is by milestone, and the code, designs and accounts pass to you at final payment.
View pricing- Where we work
Working remotely with clients wherever they are.
- The name
altr-, as in altruism: when your interest and ours disagree, the decision follows yours.

Four commitments,
and what each costs us.
4 principles · open any
Scope, changes and approvals are written down before work moves on, so both sides work from the same record.
What it costs us
Writing it down takes longer than agreeing on a call.
If a page, a feature, or an entire phase will not earn back what it costs to build, we say so before it is quoted — not after it ships.
What it costs us
The recommendation that removes a feature removes a line from our own invoice.
Estimates are broken down before the contract, not defended after it. If scope changes, the change order arrives before the work starts — not with the final invoice.
What it costs us
A number fixed in advance is a bet against our own estimate, and we pay when it is wrong.
At final payment, repositories, domains and pipelines are in your name, documented for the engineer after us. Nothing is engineered to make leaving difficult.
What it costs us
We keep no leverage over a client who decides to walk.
Who this is for,
and who it isn't.
A good fit
- A business whose website must bring in orders or inquiries, or whose work has outgrown its tools
- Customers who read more than one language, right-to-left included
- Someone who wants to own the code outright
- A team that can review and approve each phase
Not a fit
- A theme with a new logo by Friday
- A project with no one to make decisions
- A fixed price before anyone has looked at the problem
