The Rig Hut · Mobile Responsive Web Application
A responsive web app that scaled with The Rig Hut as orders grew
The problem
The Rig Hut was outgrowing their original build. They needed engineers who could ship features fast and stay close to the business as priorities shifted.
How we ran it
- 01
Map the product they were outgrowing
The original build could not keep up with order volume. The brief was ownership of the responsive web app — new flows, performance, production support — not a ticket vendor.
- 02
Embed a full-stack squad in their tools
Matched engineers who could sit in Slack, ship in their repo, and treat the business like in-house. Overlap covered hours when orders actually moved.
- 03
Prove it on a live priority shift
Trial work was a real feature change, not a sandbox. When priorities moved, the same people shipped without hand-holding.
- 04
Stay month-to-month as the company grows
Multi-year, cancel-anytime. Jake Guso still treats them as members of the team, not contractors on a clock.
The team we placed
We placed a vetted full-stack team on The Rig Hut's product. They owned the responsive web app end to end — new flows, performance fixes, and production support.
