Small, senior, shipping.
Four principal engineers plus the founder. No juniors staffed on client work. 12+ years of compound experience across Next.js, Astro, Supabase, Payload and Sanity. We write every line of code, every article, and every deployment script you see on this site.

Senior Headless Engineer
Sanity, Contentful and Storyblok implementations where the editor experience is the deliverable.
Platform & Migrations Lead
WordPress, Sitecore and AEM escapes: redirect maps, data migration, zero ranking loss.
Design Engineer
Design systems, accessibility, and the motion and 3D layer across the public site.
How we work
Who will actually build my project?
One of the engineers listed above, plus the founder on scope + architecture. We do not subcontract. We do not hand off to junior teams after the pitch. The person on your first call is the person shipping code.
How is this different from a typical agency?
Most agencies bill hours against a sold proposal. We ship working software against fixed scope. Our pricing is transparent (published on our solution pages, typically $10K-$250K by project). No staff bench, no partner upsells.
Do you hire juniors or contractors?
No. Every person on client work has shipped commercial code for at least 5 years. We'd rather take fewer projects than staff out of depth.
Let's build
something together.
Whether it's a migration, a new build, or an SEO challenge — the Social Animal team would love to hear from you.
