Getting software built, today
Agency quotes are hard to compare. With a freelancer, it is hard to judge the work you receive. An AI generator quickly makes a demo that gives way as soon as real customers use it. Cadenforge builds the whole software, with its tests, and hands you its code.

What you get out of it
You talk about your trade
Minus, our project manager, asks you about your business. It turns that into the list of what will be built, with its price.
Lawful and secure
Your application follows the laws that apply to you and your users, and passes the security checks before you see it. For mobile and desktop in the European Union, we supply the whole CE marking file.
The code is yours
You receive the code, its tests and its documentation. Another developer can take the project over without starting from scratch.
Tested, accessible and secure before you see it.
Every feature passes the same checks as software built by a professional team.
Ahead of December 2027
All our applications are built to the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act. For your mobile and desktop apps distributed in the European Union, we supply the whole CE marking file, and maintenance their security updates through the five years of support the regulation sets.
Tested
Each feature arrives with its automated tests. Each change runs all the project’s tests again before it is accepted.
Accessible
Built to level AA of WCAG 2.2, the W3C accessibility standard. Every rule a tool can verify is checked on each new screen, and a serious barrier blocks the feature.
Secure and up to date
Built against the OWASP Top 10, on current versions of its technologies. Each change is checked for leaked secrets and vulnerable dependencies, and each image for known flaws before it goes online.
Ready to take over
The code is laid out by business area, its architecture decisions are written down, and it is delivered with its tests and its documentation.

You describe your project
Choose the look
Give your logo and colours, then pick each screen from several mockups.

Know the price
Minus tells you the offer that matches your list, with its price. You pay when you approve both.
