Senior-Led Engineering Services
Black Lab Development provides hands-on engineering support for teams that need more than surface-level execution. Every service is delivered with long-term performance, maintainability, and accountability in mind.
Custom Web Development
Design and development of custom websites and web applications built to support real business needs. This work goes beyond templates, focusing on architecture, performance, and long-term maintainability.
Common platforms include WordPress, headless CMS, Shopify, and custom frameworks depending on the problem being solved.
Software Engineering & Architecture
Hands-on engineering support for complex systems, including backend development, API design, data modeling, and application architecture. Engagements often involve stabilizing or extending existing systems.
Focus areas include scalability, reliability, security, and clarity for teams that need systems they can trust.
Performance, SEO & Optimization
Improving page speed, Core Web Vitals, search visibility, and overall platform performance. Work is data-driven and tied directly to user experience and conversion outcomes.
Typical efforts include performance audits, SEO remediation, accessibility improvements, and ongoing optimization.
Integrations & Automation
Building and maintaining integrations between websites, CRMs, marketing platforms, analytics tools, and third-party services. The goal is reducing manual work and improving data flow.
Common integrations include HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce, ActiveCampaign, Stripe, and custom APIs.
Platform Audits & Technical Leadership
Providing senior-level technical oversight for teams that need clarity around architecture, tooling, and long-term direction. This often starts with a detailed audit and practical recommendations.
Ideal for organizations replacing vendors, inheriting legacy systems, or preparing for growth.
Services Designed for Real Systems
Not every project needs a full rebuild. Not every problem needs a new stack. Black Lab Development focuses on the work that actually moves systems forward — with clear tradeoffs and practical decisions.
If you need a senior engineer who can step into complex systems, identify real issues, and execute effectively, these services are designed for that kind of work.
