WHAT WE DO
Technology Builds and Marketing Programs. Designed for where your business is — and where it’s going.
Most marketing agencies don’t have engineers. Most dev shops don’t run campaigns. We built S5T to close that gap — with real depth on both sides.
Deep Technical Expertise
Advanced capabilities in expert hands
Compliance Mastery
Forged by securing classified systems.
SEASONED EXPERT OWNERSHIP
Matched to your work – owns the results
SDVOSB CERTIFIED
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned
TECHNOLOGY BUILDS
Fixed-scope builds.
Precision-scoped engagements: a defined deliverable, a real timeline, and a price that doesn’t move. Hosting, documentation, and handoff are included — not upsold later.
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Digital Transformation Roadmap
A full assessment of your current operation — tools, processes, vendors, handoffs — followed by a prioritized roadmap you can execute with us, with your own team, or with anyone else. We use the same BPMN and Ganes-Sarson DFD methodologies we use on government modernization contracts, because messy is messy.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Business process mapping and pain-point inventory
- Tooling and vendor audit
- Compliance and risk review
- Prioritized 90-day execution plan
- Working session to hand it off to your team
BEST FOR: Growth-stage owners whose stack has outpaced their processes.
WEB DEVELOPMENT
Web Development
Sites that perform — technically, editorially, and as a conversion surface. Platform-agnostic: WordPress, headless, custom, or a static build when that’s the right call. Every engagement includes 18–24 months of S5T-managed hosting, baseline security, and 30 minutes of monthly maintenance.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Discovery, wireframing, and content strategy
- Design system and component build
- CMS or static implementation
- Launch, hosting, and baseline security
- 18-24 months of managed hosting
- 30 min/month maintenance window
BEST FOR: Businesses whose website is a real conversion channel, not a brochure.
ECOMMERCE
Ecommerce Development
Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom SPA — we pick the platform to fit your catalog and your operations, not the other way around. Payment processing, tax handling, shipping integration, order management, and customer accounts are built in, not bolted on after launch.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Platform selection and catalog modeling
- Theme, storefront, or custom UI build
- Payment, tax, and shipping integration
- Order management and fulfillment wiring
- Customer account and email flows
- Analytics and conversion instrumentation
BEST FOR: Stores where the operation is as important as the storefront.
CUSTOM SOFTWARE
Custom Software Development
Web applications, mobile apps, internal tools, SaaS products, distributed systems, GIS, simulation, and legacy modernization. Our founders built accredited platforms inside the government, so we are comfortable in FedRAMP, CMMC, and ITAR environments — and we can produce the paperwork to prove it.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Architecture and technology selection
- Secure-by-default development practices
- Cloud or on-prem deployment
- Compliance documentation (FedRAMP / CMMC / ITAR as required)
- CI/CD and observability wired from day one
- Handoff documentation and knowledge transfer
BEST FOR: Teams with a hard problem and a compliance floor.
CLOUD ENGINEERING
Cloud Engineering
Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, configuration management with Ansible or Helm, Kubernetes for workloads that need it, and CI/CD pipelines you can actually read. AWS, Azure, and GCP — including their FedRAMP variants — with zero-trust networking and full observability from day one.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Terraform infrastructure modules
- Ansible / Helm configuration management
- Kubernetes cluster design and operation
- CI/CD pipeline build
- Zero-trust networking and IAM
- Observability (metrics, logs, traces)
BEST FOR: Engineering orgs ready to stop firefighting their infrastructure.
MARKETING PROGRAMS

PAID MEDIA

THE MODEL
Your work runs under one expert. That doesn’t change.
Most firms assign a senior name to the proposal, then hand the work to whoever is available. We don’t. Every engagement is owned by a seasoned expert we match to your situation — not a project manager, not an account lead, not a junior passing tickets up a chain.
That person has the technical depth to do the work themselves, and the business sense to make the right call when the spec breaks contact with reality. They command a network of specialists when the problem needs more hands, but the ownership does not move. You always know who is responsible.
Why this matters to you:
- Questions get answered by the person who can actually answer them.
- Decisions happen in the room, not after a round of internal meetings.
- When something goes sideways, the accountable party is the same person you hired.
“…Their balanced combination of technical depth, business acumen, and enablement mindset makes them a strong partner for this kind of journey.”
