How it works

Simple, honest,
start to finish

No jargon, no runaround. Here's exactly what working with Moth & Machine looks like.

  1. 01

    We talk it through

    A free, no-pressure conversation about what you need and what it should cost. Local, and usually in person.

  2. 02

    We scope it clearly

    You get a plan with a clear price and timeline before any work starts. No surprises, no scope creep.

  3. 03

    We build it well

    We make the right thing and sweat the details, keeping you in the loop the whole way through.

  4. 04

    We launch & support

    We ship it, hand it over cleanly, and stay available to keep it running as you grow.

Every project is different. These are a few of the areas we work in — if your need isn't listed, it's almost certainly still something we can do.

The studio

Where craft meets the machine

A moth is drawn to the light and shaped by nature; a machine is built by us, on purpose and with precision. Moth & Machine is where those two meet — the care of a craftsperson and the rigor of an engineer, brought to whatever you're building.

Genuinely local

We live and work in the greater Sioux Falls area. Meet in person and get real accountability.

Honestly affordable

Lean and efficient, so our prices land well below the big consultancies, no cut corners.

Done right

We build the thing you actually need, not the one with the biggest invoice.

Simple to scalable

A simple website and a company-wide AI platform get the same care. We grow with you.
