Sustainable web development
+ Linux server administration

No vendor churn. No Big Tech dependencies. No account manager optimizing their metrics.

Web development and Linux administration for small businesses that need a senior technical partner — not another agency.

Mutuality is a small team building toward cooperative structure. Already practicing it in how work is priced, refused, and shared.

Part of the surplus goes directly to a community social project — free martial arts and support for children, women, and excluded groups.

[:::] What We Do

We take long-term responsibility for your Sustained Technical Health. No passing you between specialists, no disappearing after launch. Not WordPress tweakers who call someone else when there’s a server problem. Not sysadmins who can’t touch your application code. The whole vertical, covered by people who understand it.

Systems & Reliability: Self-hosted infrastructure — your servers, your data, your control. Linux systems, monitoring (Prometheus), automation (Ansible). No AWS complexity tax. You own your technical foundation outright.

Web & Application Development: Maintainable ecosystems built with WordPress (Roots stack), or custom application logic in Python (Flask/Django) and PHP (Symfony/Laravel). Tools that serve your actual needs, not a framework’s preferences.

The design target is independence. Systems are built so your team can maintain them without us. That is not an afterthought — it is the point.

Our best client relationships last years, not sprints. We’re building systems stable enough that you don’t need us for emergencies — only for growth.

We do not pretend technology solves structural problems. Underfunding, overwork, misaligned incentives — those require organizing, not engineering. What we can do is ensure your technical foundation does not make those problems worse.

If you want a vendor to micromanage by the hour, we are the wrong team.

[=#=] How We Work

Retainers and standalone projects. We are most effective as embedded technical partners — your internal systems team that manages the whole stack while you focus on your mission. But not every engagement needs to start there. Standalone projects work too. If the work speaks for itself and there is mutual fit, we talk about what comes next.

Direct collaboration, no overhead. No project manager between you and the person building your system. No account manager extending timelines to optimize their own metrics. You talk to us. We talk to you. That is the entire structure. We don’t view engagements as transactional tickets — we function as an embedded systems team.

Sustainable tempo. No manufactured urgency, no deadline theater. We take long-term responsibility for your technical health — building to last, not to the next sprint. Systems that are quiet, secure, and sovereign. Technical durability over deadline theater, always.

[!!!] Projects we will not take on

This is a line drawn before the conversation starts.

We do not build surveillance systems or privacy-hostile infrastructure. We do not build tools for predatory lending, gambling, or speculative extraction. We do not build for military, police, or security-state purposes. We do not build tools designed to bust unions or suppress workers. We do not build marketing systems engineered to manipulate or deceive. We do not work on projects premised on outsourcing arbitrage or geographic wage suppression. We do not work with organizations that substitute real human accountability with AI-driven micromanagement, or those who shift the structural risk of business ownership onto their technical partners.

If your project sits in any of these categories, we are not a fit. This is not virtue signaling – it is resource allocation. Limited capacity goes to work that builds alternatives, not work that reinforces extraction.

[~%~] The Rate

€125/hour or €3,200/month for a 32-hour retainer.

We work with a single day rate for all our services. At the end of each month we send you an invoice over the actual hours worked. We bill for the whole stack: this includes not just visible frontend features, but the critical, invisible labor that prevents system collapse — infrastructure modernization, DevOps automation, security updates, and daily technical availability and consulting. Detailed timesheets provided if needed.

We also offer standardized FOSS solution packages — complete foundations built on open-source tools, self-hosted on infrastructure you own, delivered as standalone projects.

For organizations and small businesses navigating cash-flow constraints: see the Underdog Alliance below.

[:=:] The Underdog Alliance

You’re not a “client”. You’re a worker running a business, probably fighting the same constraints we all face — cash flow pressure, market extraction, the choice between compromising values and failing economically.

When funding is squeezed, technical progress usually freezes exactly when it is needed most. We share that risk — we move to a Virtual Account to keep the lights on.

Virtual Account. Work continues under a strict, pre-agreed monthly hour cap while you stabilize. We settle when cash flow allows — standard payment, revenue share, or service exchange. Transparency is mutual: this path requires open, monthly financial check-ins so we navigate the crunch together, rather than retroactively.

The Parallel Path. We co-invest — our technical capacity, your market access — to build a separate income stream that funds your core mission without loan sharks or VC pressure.

Reduced rates. €90/hour for high-alignment projects when capacity permits.

Donation-based work. For strictly non-commercial grassroots projects with no budget — mutual aid groups, community organizers, non-funded initiatives. We contribute time the way others contribute money: because the work matters. When capacity permits.

This isn’t creative financing. It’s workers recognizing each other across the artificial vendor-client boundary.
