We're a small, senior team that builds custom software, automates broken workflows, and deploys AI systems that solve real problems — not demos. If you're tired of agencies that over-promise and under-deliver, let's talk.
CRM → Slack → Invoice — zero manual steps
Internal docs searchable by AI in seconds
React Native app — beta launching next week
We don't list 20 services and outsource 18 of them. These are the areas where we have deep, hands-on expertise — and where we consistently deliver results our clients can measure.
We connect your existing tools so data flows without anyone touching a keyboard. Whether it's routing leads, generating invoices, or syncing your CRM, we build the invisible plumbing that buys your team their time back.
Off-the-shelf software rarely does exactly what you need. We build secure, lightning-fast web applications—like client portals, internal dashboards, and management systems—designed specifically for how your company actually operates.
Whether you need a sleek iOS app for your retail customers or a bulletproof Android tool for your field workers, we build mobile experiences that don't crash, lag, or frustrate your users.
We cut through the hype to build AI tools that generate real ROI. From systems that can instantly search your massive internal document library, to intelligent agents that triage customer support, we deploy AI to solve actual bottlenecks.
Every engagement follows the same proven structure — so you always know where your money is going, what's being built, and when it'll be done.
30 minutes, free, no pitch deck. We listen to your problem, ask hard questions, and tell you honestly if we're the right fit — or recommend someone who is.
Within one week, you get a clear proposal: what we'll build, how long it'll take, what it'll cost, and what "done" looks like. No ambiguity.
Two-week cycles. You see working software at the end of every sprint, give feedback, and steer the ship. We don't disappear for three months.
We deploy, monitor, and make sure everything runs smoothly. Then we stick around — because real software needs real support after launch.
"They automated a process that was eating 20 hours a week of my ops manager's time. It's been running flawlessly for six months. Best money I've spent this year."
"Our last agency left us with a broken codebase and a six-figure bill. DDL audited it, told us honestly what to keep and what to scrap, and had the new version live in eight weeks."
"I was skeptical about AI being useful for our small firm. They built us a document search tool that our entire team actually uses every day. No hype, just a tool that works."
We started this company because we were tired of watching businesses get burned by dev shops that treat every project like a code factory. Software should be built by people who understand your business — not just your tech stack.
We're not a 200-person agency where your project gets handed to a junior dev in another time zone. When you hire Danville Digital Labs, you work directly with the people writing the code and making the architecture decisions.
We're based in Danville, CA — and yes, we'll meet you for coffee at Peet's on Hartz Avenue to talk through your project. Try getting that from a remote-only offshore shop.
Most engagements fall between $15,000 and $150,000 depending on scope and complexity. Automation projects tend to land on the lower end; full-stack web platforms and AI systems on the higher end. We offer both fixed-price and time-and-materials pricing — you'll get a clear, no-surprises estimate after our free discovery call.
Automation projects typically launch in 2–4 weeks. Web and mobile applications range from 6–16 weeks depending on complexity. AI systems vary, but we usually have a working prototype within 3–4 weeks. We work in two-week sprints, so you see real progress constantly — not a big reveal at the end.
Both. We work with startups validating an idea, growing companies streamlining operations, and enterprises modernizing legacy systems. The common thread is that our clients value quality engineering and transparent communication over the cheapest bid.
Yes, and we do this regularly. We'll audit the existing codebase, give you an honest assessment of what's salvageable versus what needs rebuilding, and provide a clear plan to get things back on track. No ego about other people's code — we just fix what's broken and build from there.
Our core stack includes React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, React Native, Flutter, PostgreSQL, AWS, and GCP. For automation we use n8n, Zapier, Make, and custom integrations. For AI we work with OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, vector databases, and custom ML pipelines. We pick the right tool for the job, not the trendiest one.
Absolutely. We're based in Danville in the San Ramon Valley and happily meet clients in person throughout the East Bay and greater Bay Area. We also work with clients remotely across the US — whatever works best for you.
Tell us what you're trying to build, fix, or automate. We'll be honest about whether we can help — and if we can't, we'll point you to someone who can. No hard sell, ever.
Or email us directly — whatever's easier.
