What We Build

Operational software that replaces the broken systems, outdated processes, and expensive template solutions that cost businesses real money every day.

Checkout and Payment Systems

Custom e-commerce and payment processing built from scratch. No plugin dependencies, no platform fees eating your margin. You own the code and the customer relationship.

Data Platforms and Dashboards

Real-time data visualization and operational reporting tools. Built on open source infrastructure, pulling from the sources you already have. See your business clearly.

Custom Web Applications

Internal tools, client portals, service platforms. If your current system does not quite work right, we build the one that does. Hand-coded to your exact requirements.

Business Websites

Fast-loading, mobile-optimized, built to rank. Every site is hand-coded with SEO architecture baked in from line one. You get a Google Sheet to manage your own content.

API Integration and Automation

Connect the systems that should already be talking to each other. Eliminate manual data entry, reduce errors, and free up the hours your team spends on work a script could do.

Technical Consulting

Architecture reviews, technology decisions, infrastructure planning. An independent practitioner's perspective before you commit to a system you will be living with for years.

Why It Is Different

Most developers rent you a solution. We build you one.

You Own Everything

No monthly platform fees. No subscription lock-in. No code held hostage by a vendor. When the project is delivered, you own every file, every database, every line of code. We hand it over and walk you through it.

This is not the standard model. Most web development quietly creates dependency by design. We do not work that way.

Full Source Delivery No Recurring Fees Zero Vendor Lock-In

Business Fluency, Not Just Code

A developer who has only ever written code will build exactly what you describe. A developer who has worked as a government accountant, inside a CPA firm, and managed books for operating businesses will ask what you are actually trying to accomplish first.

That background changes what gets built. The software serves the business, not the other way around.

Data Sovereignty by Default

We run our own infrastructure. 15 terabytes of local storage, custom Linux kernel builds, self-hosted everything. Not because it is trendy, but because depending on third-party platforms for critical systems is a liability.

That philosophy carries into every client project. We build systems that do not break when someone else changes their pricing or shuts down a service.

Client Results

Verified reviews from real clients on Google Maps and Yelp.

★★★★★

"Unlike other developers who wanted ongoing monthly fees, Refined Web Solutions delivered a website I actually own with no recurring subscriptions. Plus, I can edit the content myself using the same Google Sheets system they showed me in the mockup. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality web development from a team that treats your project like it matters."

"Fast loading, mobile optimized, and I own everything outright. The process was smooth. Got a mockup first, then used a Google Sheet to request changes instead of endless emails. They handled domain setup, SSL, all the technical stuff. Site looks great, loads in under 2 seconds, and I'm already getting leads. Fair pricing, no surprises. Highly recommend."

"This company pays close attention to detail & guarantees a positive working relationship, if you need help they provide it. If something isn't exactly what you want, they edit until it is. Refined Web Solutions LLC. is the company that brings professional results, customer based satisfaction, and business/performance integration to your website for a fraction of the cost and hassle of those giant web design companies that use template based 'fill in the blank' designs these sites offer."

Let's Build Something That Works

If your current system is costing you time, money, or customers, we should talk. No retainers, no lock-in. Just a straight conversation about what you need built.
