Page load time
Apex Workforce
Customer portal rebuilt — 6.2s load down to 0.9s, churn dropped within 60 days
01
Challenge
Their Angular customer portal was bleeding users. Six-second load times, broken mobile experience, and an in-house team too scared of the legacy codebase to touch it.
02
What we did
We rebuilt the entire portal in Next.js with tRPC, introduced a Postgres-backed data layer with Prisma, added E2E test coverage, and trained their engineers on the new stack. Shipped in 8 weeks with zero migration downtime.

Concept to launch
Anand HealthCloud
HIPAA-compliant patient app — concept to App Store in 11 weeks
01
Challenge
A clinic group needed a HIPAA-compliant patient app covering booking, telehealth, and medical records. Three vendors quoted 9–12 months and $400K+. Their board was losing patience.
02
What we did
We designed and built a React Native app with a .NET backend on AWS architecture, with encryption at rest, full audit logging, and signed BAAs. Launched to the App Store in 11 weeks at a third of the quoted cost.

Monthly cloud spend
O'Connor Freight
12-year-old monolith modernised — $24K/month saved, zero downtime
01
Challenge
A freight company running a 12-year-old monolith on bare metal was paying $42K a month in infrastructure with 99.2% uptime. They had a 2-day cutover window and absolutely could not go down.
02
What we did
We containerized the monolith, migrated to ECS Fargate and RDS Aurora with blue-green DNS cutover, executed the full switch over a single weekend. Uptime never dipped below 99.97%.

P95 API latency
Heritage Capital
Trading API rewritten — P95 latency from 1.2 seconds to 110 milliseconds
01
Challenge
A growing fintech's Node.js trading API was hitting timeout errors under normal load. Customers were complaining, the cloud bill was growing, and their engineering team had run out of ideas.
02
What we did
We rewrote latency-critical paths in Go, layered Redis caching with intelligent invalidation, added per-tenant rate limits, and rebuilt their observability stack with OpenTelemetry and Grafana. P95 went from 1.2s to 110ms.

YoY revenue growth
Summit Apparel Co.
DTC brand relaunched headless — revenue up 240% year-over-year
01
Challenge
A DTC apparel brand was stuck on a Shopify Liquid theme with 4-second load times and zero ability to ship the shopping experiences their marketing team was dreaming up.
02
What we did
We migrated to a headless Shopify storefront with sub-1 second LCP, custom checkout, A/B testing infrastructure, and Klaviyo lifecycle automations that converted dormant buyers back into repeat customers.
SaaS

User activation rate
TrueComfort Analytics
Natural-language query feature shipped in 4 weeks — activation rate up 38%
01
Challenge
A B2B analytics SaaS had a feature idea that would let users query their data in plain English — but their team had no LLM experience and couldn't afford 6 months of experimentation.
02
What we did
We designed the retrieval pipeline, built a prompt evaluation harness, added fallback logic for edge cases, and shipped behind a feature flag. Full rollout to all customers within 30 days of launch.
FAQ
The questions everyone asks.
Don't see yours? Drop us a note — we reply within a business day.
01What makes Heptism different from hiring an agency?
Most agencies hire juniors, bill by the hour, and focus on one lane — marketing, or design, or development. We're a senior team that covers all of it on a flat monthly fee. You get someone in your Slack, weekly demos, and full ownership of everything we create. No account managers hiding the work, no surprise invoices, no lock-in.
02How does the subscription actually work?
You pick a plan, tell us what you need, and we start that week. Submit as many requests as you like — we work through them one (or more) at a time depending on your plan tier. Need a landing page? Brief us. Need a paid media strategy? Drop it in. We deliver, you review, we iterate until it's right. No hourly billing, no scope creep conversations.
03What does each plan include?
Starter ($1,999/mo) is brand and development — ideal if you're launching or relaunching. Growth ($3,999/mo) adds marketing: paid ads, SEO, email, content. Scale ($5,999/mo) unlocks everything including consulting and automation/AI, with a dedicated PM and multiple parallel workstreams. Enterprise is custom-scoped around your needs.
04How quickly will I see actual work?
We start the same week. Design and dev tasks typically ship in 2–5 business days. Strategy audits are in your hands within the first 7 days. Paid media and SEO produce measurable signal within 30–90 days. Bigger builds run in weekly sprints — you see a live demo every Friday, never a black box.
05Can I really pause or cancel anytime?
Yes. Month-to-month, always. Pause if you're between projects and don't need us right now — your slot stays open and you resume exactly where you left off. Cancel through your billing portal at any time. No cancellation fees, no exit calls, no guilt. We earn your continued business by delivering work you value.
06Do you work outside a specific industry?
We've worked across SaaS, fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, logistics, real estate, education and professional services — in the US, UK, Canada, Middle East, and Australia. The approach adapts. The quality doesn't. If you're unsure whether we've done work like yours, just ask — we'll tell you honestly.
07What if I already have an in-house team?
That's actually ideal. We plug in where you need coverage, work inside your tools and processes, and hand everything over clean. Your team owns all the accounts, code, and design files from day one. We're there to multiply what your people can do — not to replace them or build a dependency on us.
08Is my business information safe with you?
We sign NDAs by default before any substantive conversation. Everything we build lives in accounts you control. We never share client details publicly without your sign-off. Our internal systems follow least-privilege access and SOC2-aligned tooling. If something feels sensitive, tell us — we'll structure the engagement accordingly.
