About Us
We solve hard problems. No fluff.
A small, focused, dev team. We've been building custom integrations, apps, and Shopify solutions since 2014.
How We Work
Our process, in plain English
01 Solve the Right Problem
We don’t start by writing code. We start by understanding how your business actually runs.
Where is the friction? What’s manual? What’s fragile? What’s quietly costing you time or money?
Sometimes the answer is a custom app. Sometimes it’s simplifying what you already have. Sometimes it’s saying “don’t build that.”
We focus on solving the real constraint, not just delivering features.
02 Start Fast & Small
We prefer momentum over massive upfront planning.
Instead of scoping a $50k project before writing a line of code, we define a focused MVP - something practical and useful that can go live quickly and start delivering value.
- A working system early
- Real feedback from real use
- Lower risk and clearer next steps
If you like to iterate, validate, and improve as you go, we’ll work well together.
03 Build It Like a Product
Custom apps aren’t one-off hacks. They’re software products — even if only your team uses them.
That means clean architecture, proper environments, and planning for updates from day one.
We’ve built our own hosting and deployment framework so you get something tailored to your business, without taking on the overhead that usually comes with custom software.
You get the flexibility of custom software, with the ease of a turn-key app.
04 Build for Scale
Your business won’t stay the same, and your systems shouldn’t hold you back.
Whether you’re shipping 100 orders a day or 10,000, the foundations matter. We design integrations and apps so they can evolve as your operations grow, your workflows change, or your volume increases.
No rebuilds every year. No “this worked until we scaled.”
Just solid infrastructure that grows with you.
05 No-BS Policy
We don’t promise 10x growth. We don’t sell hype. We don’t pad teams or invent complexity.
We’re engineers. We solve operational problems.
If something won’t work the way you think it will, we’ll say so. If there’s a simpler solution, we’ll recommend it. If it’s going to be expensive, we’ll explain why.
Clear expectations. Straight answers. Solid work.

“The Pogodan team has been truly a lifesaver for us on multiple occasions. Lisa helped us with app integrations, automations, and new product setups. She has been patient in educating us and even giving us DIY tutorials on things we can handle on our own. She is fast, responsive, and has never been stumped by a question we pose. She functions as an extension of our team.”
“We've worked with them for many years. Always responsive and produce quality work. Fair and transparent people, I would absolutely recommend.”

“Pogodan has been great to work with. Their communication is incredibly quick, clear, and concise. Their fair pricing, coupled with over-delivering on our projects, provided exceptional value for our investment.”
“Pogodan has been an outstanding partner to launch our ecommerce site on Shopify! When we met Lisa, we knew we had found the right partner with the talent, expertise and creativity to bring our vision to life.”
“I'm very happy that I worked with Lisa at Pogodan! I needed an app to help with order processing and none of the apps in the app store fit what I needed. She was very detailed and made sure she understood our order process from start to finish so she could develop an app that would fit our needs. I've now got my app and it is perfect for what I needed!”
