About Altius
We started Altius so growing businesses could work with senior designers and engineers directly — and keep working with them long after launch.
Why we exist
Most small and mid-size businesses get stuck in the same place. Website builders and off-the-shelf tools got them started, but now the site is slow, the CRM doesn't match how they sell, and the team spends Fridays copying data between systems. Big agencies quote six figures and hand the work to whoever is free.
Altius sits in between. We're a small, senior team in Denver that designs, builds, and runs custom websites, web apps, and integrations — on a modern stack, with a written scope, and with the same people answering your messages a year after launch.
Our measure of success is simple: the software keeps working, and you keep calling us.
The team
Altius is deliberately small. When you hire us, these are the people on your calls, in your Slack, and in your codebase.
Lead Software Engineer
Hunter owns the technical direction of every build — architecture, frontend, backend, integrations, and the production infrastructure we run for clients. He works across Next.js, TypeScript, Node, PostgreSQL, and Supabase.
huntermay@altiusapps.comLead Design Engineer
Jake sits where design meets code. He brings six years of development experience from a Fortune 500 company and turns brand and UX intent into fast, accessible interfaces — making sure what we ship looks as considered as it works.
jake@altiusapps.comWhat makes us different
No juniors learning on your project and no offshore hand-offs. Every line of code and every screen comes from someone who has shipped production software before.
Discovery, design, engineering, hosting, and support under one roof — so nothing gets lost between a design agency, a dev shop, and a hosting company.
Fixed scopes for defined builds, honest ranges for everything else, and a weekly check-in so the budget never surprises you at the end.
Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and well-supported services — proven tools that are easy to hire for, not a proprietary platform you’re locked into.
Hosting, monitoring, patches, and the next round of features. Most of our clients have been with us for years, not weeks.
If a well-configured HubSpot beats a custom CRM, or a template beats a custom site for where you are today, we’ll say so on the first call.
Where we work
Most projects run remotely with weekly video check-ins. For clients in the region, we’re happy to come to you.
