Why build your own team when you can lean on ours?

Our fractional development services are a flexible and cost-efficient way to get your development work done without adding full-time in-house engineers.

Think of it as a development support retainer, where we’ll work on your projects for a set number of hours per week or month to add new features, squash bugs, modernize your app, or improve performance. If you’re unsure of exactly what you need, we’ll help you identify key objectives and work out a plan.

You can scale a team according to your needs, ensuring you have more flexibility and agility in your operations. And you get all the benefits of having an entire development team without the overhead of recruiting and managing one, saving you time and resources.

While we primarily work on Rails applications, our team also specializes in other technologies, including Refinery, Laravel, React, and Python.

Planet Argon is consistently responsive and delivers their tasks on time. They contact me when aspects of the project need to be discussed and provide me with a detailed approach to their plans and actions.
