Custom software for the Austin market

Austin has become one of the country's densest tech ecosystems — from Silicon Hills startups and Domain-area scale-ups to established firms in healthcare, real estate, logistics and professional services. What they share is a need to move fast without burning a year of runway on a bloated build. That's exactly the gap Xara fills.

We design and develop software around how your business actually operates in Austin: the workflows your team runs, the tools you already pay for, and the customers you're trying to win. Instead of forcing you into an off-the-shelf platform that almost fits, we build the thing that fits — and we do it in weeks, using an AI-native workflow that keeps senior engineers focused on the hard parts.

Whether you're a founder validating an idea near East Austin, an operations lead drowning in spreadsheets, or a growing company that has outgrown its first system, you get the same thing: a clear plan, a fixed price, weekly demos on a live link, and full ownership of the result.

What we build

Web apps — dashboards, portals and internal platforms your team lives in every day.
SaaS products — multi-tenant apps with auth, billing and analytics ready for launch.
Mobile apps — native-feel iOS and Android, from MVP to the store.
Internal tools — replace the fragile spreadsheet and manual process for good.
AI features — agents, chatbots and automation wired into your own data.
Integrations — connect Stripe, HubSpot, QuickBooks, Salesforce and more.

Why Austin businesses choose Xara

Austin's agency rates have climbed with its cost of living, and traditional shops still price in months of overhead. Freelancers are cheaper but risky — they disappear, and their code rarely scales. Xara sits in between: a small senior team that scopes and builds your project end to end, accelerated by an AI-native workflow that cuts weeks off delivery without cutting quality.

You approve a fixed scope and a fixed price before we start, you see progress every week on a live URL, and you own everything the moment it ships. No layers, no lock-in, no gambiarra — just software that works and keeps working.
