Web Development · Columbus, OH

Columbus web development for the Intel and Anduril supply chains.

Intel's $20 billion investment in New Albany and Anduril's Arsenal-1 near Rickenbacker will need suppliers. Suppliers to companies like that need portals, records and integrations.

Two projects are reshaping central Ohio's industrial economy. Intel's semiconductor investment in New Albany and Licking County, put at $20 billion and expected to create 3,000 direct jobs, and Anduril's Arsenal-1, an investment of more than $900 million aimed at more than 4,000 jobs by 2035 in Pickaway County near Rickenbacker. Projects that large pull in contractors, fabricators, staffing firms, logistics companies and service providers, and their customers expect professional tools: supplier portals, document management, onboarding records and order status they can check themselves.

Columbus's older economy has its own software needs. Nationwide is headquartered here, and insurance and insurtech are named regional industries. Independent agencies and brokers competing in that shadow benefit from quoting tools, client portals and intake forms that feed their agency systems directly, instead of a contact form that starts a week of phone tag. The retail test-market reputation adds pressure on commerce, where checkout speed and inventory accuracy decide sales. Shoppers trained by national chains do not wait for a slow cart.

In each case, the useful first step is narrow: one workflow built properly and connected to what you already run through API integration. Defense-adjacent work stays on the public-facing and business side; anything requiring clearances is outside our scope, and we say so up front. Custom applications start from $575, depending on complexity, with the scope and price in writing.

Web Development in Columbus: questions we hear.

We want to supply the new plants. Where do we start online?

With capability pages that describe exactly what you do, then the tools a large customer will ask about: document access, certifications and order status. Start small and build as contracts arrive.

Can you build an insurance quoting tool?

Yes, scoped to your products and connected to your agency system where it has an API. Rating rules stay yours; we build the interface and plumbing.

How long does a first version take?

Usually weeks. One workflow that gets used beats a platform that doesn't.
