Software studio · Grand Rapids, MI

Custom software, built to ship.

Westown Labs is a software development studio. We design, build, and run custom applications for businesses — from a first MVP to systems that scale to the enterprise. A decade of production engineering behind every build.

Track record

A decade of software that runs the business.

The Westown Labs team is all senior-level+ talent that's spent the last decade shipping production systems at companies you know — high-scale platforms, real revenue, real users. That same depth goes into every project, whatever the size.

What we do

We do everything. Mostly, custom applications.

Web, mobile, cloud, data, and AI — under one roof, by the people actually writing the code. Most of it comes down to one thing: software built around how your business really works, not bent around someone else's template.

Where we start

Custom Applications

Web and mobile apps tailored to your workflow — the system that finally replaces the spreadsheet, the portal your customers actually want to use.

Web Platforms

Dashboards, customer portals, internal tools, and the APIs behind them.

Mobile Apps

Native iOS & Android from one codebase, delivered to the App Store and Google Play.

Cloud & Backend

APIs, microservices, real-time systems, and infrastructure that scales to demand.

Data & Integrations

Connect the tools you already run — Stripe, SSO, SAP, pipelines, sync, and reporting.

AI Features

Practical AI and LLMs built into your product where they earn their keep — we've shipped recommendation engines, chatbots, and AI dev tooling in production.

How we build

Full-stack, hands-on.

One team from design to production — no handoffs, no offshore telephone game. Deep across the modern stack, with the range to build just about anything:

TypeScript & Java React, Angular & React Native Node / NestJS & Spring Boot AWSLambda, EKS, RDS, S3 Serverless edge — Cloudflare Workers & Durable Objects Postgres, Mongo, DynamoDB & Redis Kafka & event streaming Real-time WebSockets Stripe & payments OAuth / SAML / SSO AI & LLM integration Terraform, Docker & CI/CD Localization at scale — 29 languages
Who we work with

From small business to enterprise.

We scope the work to fit where you are.

Small business & startups

A focused build that gets you to market: an MVP, a first app, the internal tool that replaces three spreadsheets and an inbox.

Growing & enterprise teams

Production software that holds up — integrations with what you already run, microservices, scale, reliability, and someone to keep it running after launch.

How it goes

A clear path from idea to live.

No mystery, no 80-page statement of work. Five steps, and you see progress the whole way.

Discovery

We learn your business, scope the work, and agree on what "done" means.

Design

Flows, screens, and architecture — so we build the right thing once.

Build

Working software in short cycles, visible to you the whole way.

Ship

Tested, deployed, in your users' hands — stores, cloud, the works.

Support

We stick around: monitoring, fixes, and the next set of features.

Our work

We build our own products, too.

It keeps our craft sharp and proves the stack in production — the same way we'd build yours.
