Small by design, growing carefully
We have been running for a few years as a small team, and we add people the same way we add services — only when we can stand behind the result.
Why Corevia exists
Too much digital work arrives half-finished. A site nobody internally can edit. A system with no documentation and no one left who remembers how it was built. An agency that stopped replying somewhere between launch and the first invoice.
We started Corevia to do the unglamorous half properly — the scoping, the documentation, the handover, the part after launch. That is why the service list is short and the client list is shorter: both are what make a fixed scope and a named owner possible in the first place.
We work remotely with clients wherever they are, from Baguio City, Philippines.
- One point of contact, from the first call to the last deploy
- A written scope and a fixed price before any code is written
- Your repo and your accounts, registered to you from day one
- 30 days of support after launch, then a runbook you can hand on
Why clients come back
Three things clients tell us they did not get elsewhere.
Fixed price, named owner and a written definition of done before any code is written.
Boring, documented technology choices your next hire will recognise.
You own the repo and every account from day one. Success is stability after launch, not launch day.
Who we work with
Owner-led businesses with a system that has outgrown how it was first put together — usually one person internally carrying it.
What we build on
Boring, well-documented choices your next hire will already recognise. We pick the platform that fits the job, not the one we feel like using.
How the work runs
Four stages from first call to live. Each one ends with something you can hold.
- 1DiscoverWe map the stack, the owners and what actually has to change. You get a written scope with a fixed price.
- 2DesignFlows and screens reviewed against the scope. You get a clickable prototype.
- 3BuildWeekly builds on a staging URL. Your repo, your accounts, documented from day one.
- 4LaunchCutover, monitoring and a handover session with the people who will run it.
How we price and scope
- Discovery first: we map the stack, the owners and what actually has to change.
- You get a written scope with a fixed price before any code is written.
- That number holds unless you change what is in the scope.
- Ongoing work is a monthly retainer with a stated response time.
What we will not do
- Take on work we cannot scope. If a requirement is too vague to price honestly, we say so before quoting rather than guess and revise later.
- Inherit a codebase blind. Rescue work starts with a paid audit, so you get a straight verdict on repair versus rebuild before committing.
- Compete on being cheapest. A fixed price means we absorb our own estimating mistakes, and that only works if the number was serious to begin with.
- Hold your accounts. The repo, hosting, analytics and domains are registered to you from day one, so leaving is always an option.
