Our Services

A small studio.
A broad skill set.

Serverless Websites & Stores

Fast, responsive business websites and storefronts built to minimize hosting costs and ongoing maintenance. When a new domain is needed, Blue Cloud can register it through an independent registrar with the customer’s written authorization while keeping the customer’s company as the owner.

Websites — Starting at $50*

*$50 starting price is based on one hour of work. Simple websites typically take only one hour. Domain registration, transfer, privacy, and renewal fees are separate third-party costs quoted before purchase.

Custom Software & Web Applications

Custom business software, directories, publishing platforms, administrative systems, and web applications designed around how your business actually operates. Blue Cloud is also a registered Apple Developer with experience using Swift and SceneKit for Apple platforms.

AI-Assisted Development

We use AI to accelerate implementation, testing, documentation, and refinement—allowing more functionality to fit within a practical development budget while keeping human judgment in control.

Cloud Services & Infrastructure

Cloud hosting, databases, storage, networking, and access configuration using AWS, Cloudflare, and Supabase. We help set up, connect, and improve the services your business depends on, with attention to cost and day-to-day maintenance. Explore cloud services →

APIs, Automation & Cloud Integrations

Connect services, automate repetitive work, and move information between the tools your business already uses. Recent work includes Cloudflare API and R2 integrations, browser-to-cloud media uploads, domain routing, and serverless delivery workflows.

Business Email Delivery & DNS

Transactional and authentication email through Amazon SES, including domain verification, production-delivery setup, and SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. With written authorization, we can also purchase a client-owned domain through an independent registrar and configure or migrate its DNS across Cloudflare, Netlify, and connected cloud services.

SEO, Analytics & Monetization

Search-friendly structure, metadata, Google Analytics setup, performance measurement, and Google AdSense integration to help websites attract an audience, understand traffic, and create advertising-revenue opportunities.

Social Media & Digital Content

Platform setup, content planning, branded posts, scheduling, campaign support, and integrations that connect social-media attention to your website and business goals.

Technology Problem-Solving

Not every business need fits a standard service category. Bring us the problem, bottleneck, or idea, and we will research it, scope it honestly, and build a practical solution when technology can help.

Serverless by design

Pay for what you use—not idle server space

Traditional websites and applications often require customers to pay for server capacity whether they are using it or not. Blue Cloud takes a serverless-first approach, combining services such as Netlify, Supabase, Cloudflare R2, Cloudflare APIs, and Amazon SES according to each project’s needs.

This keeps infrastructure lean, reduces routine maintenance, and allows websites and applications to scale without forcing small businesses into expensive server plans.

*$50 starting price is based on one hour of work. Simple websites typically take only one hour. Domain registration, transfer, privacy, and renewal fees are separate third-party costs quoted before purchase; the customer owns the domain.

A simple way to start

Your time. $50 per hour.

Choose how many hours you need at $50 per hour. Start with a brief planning call, then put the rest of your booked time toward your project. A 10-minute call leaves 50 minutes of the first hour for building.

Please stay available to answer questions during your booked hours. Quick responses help us finish faster and make the most of your paid time. Have your text, logo, and photos ready.

Simple websites may fit within the first hour. Any additional work requires your approval at $50/hour. Domain fees are separate; purchases require your written authorization, and your company owns the domain.

Your domain. Your property.

Your company owns its domain

If you ask Blue Cloud Development to secure a domain, we obtain your written authorization before purchasing it through an independent third-party registrar. The domain is registered for your company, and your company remains the registrant and owner. Blue Cloud does not acquire ownership of it.

Domain registration, transfer, privacy, and renewal charges are third-party costs and are not included in website-development pricing. We disclose those charges before purchase and bill them separately.

Founder-led since 2018

You work directly with the person building your technology

Blue Cloud Development was founded by James Belew to help small businesses turn practical ideas into working technology. From the initial scope through development, testing, deployment, and ongoing support, projects stay in direct contact with the person doing the work.

That means fewer handoffs, clearer decisions, and solutions shaped around how your business actually operates—not a prepackaged agency template.
