01 / What we do

Four ways we make
your tech less stressful.

We're not an agency, not a hosting company, not a freelancer. We're the people who own the whole stack — from the database schema to the cron job that emails you when something's wrong at 2am.

01

Custom Software

Internal tools, customer portals, integrations, and bespoke web apps. Built to your workflow, not against it.

02

Application Hosting

Managed, monitored, hardened hosting. Daily backups, staging environments, and a human on call when something breaks.

Explore →
03

Drupal Support

Module upgrades, security patches, migrations from D7 → D10, and the painful integrations no one else wants to touch.

Explore →
04

WordPress Support

Performance audits, plugin sanity, custom themes, and an honest opinion on whether you actually need that plugin.

02 / How we work

A small team. A clear playbook.
No theatre.

Every engagement runs through the same four phases. You always know what's happening, what's next, and where your money's going. We meet weekly, write plain-English status notes, and don't disappear after launch.

PHASE 01

Discover

Two weeks of paid discovery. We document what you have, what you need, what the constraints are, and what we'd build. You own the deliverable.

PHASE 02

Design

Static comps, clickable prototypes, and an architecture diagram. Stakeholders sign off in writing before a single line of production code is written.

PHASE 03

Build

Two-week sprints. Demo on Friday. We use the same boring, proven stack we've used for a decade — because it works, and you can hire other people to maintain it.

PHASE 04

Operate

We host it, monitor it, patch it, back it up, and fix it when something breaks. Monthly check-ins. Quarterly roadmap.

04 / What clients say
We've been with three agencies in eight years. Kohlisys is the only one where I haven't had to ask twice. They built our portal, they host it, they fixed the thing the last guys broke — and they explain things like a person.
