Arkō — software studio
We build
websites
You bring the idea. We design it, build it across web and mobile, then wire in the automation and AI that make it run on its own.
Ship.*
*We handle the hard parts.
Most good ideas die in the gap between design and done. We live in that gap, so your product actually gets built and reaches real people, without you managing five contractors to get there.

what we build
Work
The kind of thing we make
Product websites
Landing pages and marketing sites that load fast and convert.
Cross-platform apps
One codebase shipped to iOS and Android, store to home screen.
Automation pipelines
Quiet systems that move data and trigger work while you sleep.
AI features
Chat, retrieval and agents built into products people already use.
our process
How we work
Four steps. One direction. Ship.
Discovery
We learn how your team works today and map the fastest path to something real. You leave with a plan, a scope and a fixed idea of what ships first.
See exactly how it works+
A two-week sprint where we interview stakeholders, audit your existing stack, review analytics, and map user flows. You get a technical brief, a sitemap, a UI audit, and a prioritized backlog — no billable hours wasted on discovery theatre.
Design & build
Design and engineering happen in the same room. You see working software every week, not slide decks, so you can steer while it is cheap to change.
See exactly how it works+
We work in one-week cycles. Monday: scope the week. Wednesday: first working build. Friday: demo and feedback. No handoffs, no Figma-to-code gap — the designer writes CSS and the engineer thinks about margins.
Automation & AI
Once the core works, we wire in the automation and AI that remove the busywork, so the product does more of the running on its own.
See exactly how it works+
This is where we add the force multiplier — background jobs, webhook integrations, vector search, LLM agents, scheduled tasks. Whatever lets your team wake up to work already done instead of a queue of manual steps.
Handover & support
You get clean code, docs and the keys. We stay on for as much or as little support as you want, no lock-in and no mystery.
See exactly how it works+
Full handover includes: private npm packages or monorepo access, architecture decision records (ADRs), CI/CD pipelines, runbooks, and a 30-min walkthrough. After that, we offer retainer support in 10-hour blocks — cancel anytime.
No mystery. No lock-in.
You see progress every week.
The people behind Arko
Meet the team
We're a small team that designs, builds, and ships together. You work directly with the people making the product—without an account layer between you and the work.

How soon will you reply?
We reply within 24 hours. Send a short brief and we will come back with next steps, questions, or a call time — usually the same working day.
What do you build?
Web and mobile products, plus the automation and AI that make them run on their own. Most work falls into websites, cross-platform apps, automation pipelines, and AI features.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on scope. Share a rough budget in the brief and we will tell you honestly what is realistic — and where the money is best spent — before any commitment.
How long does a project take?
A focused website ships in a few weeks; larger apps and systems run longer. We agree on milestones up front so you always know what is landing and when.
Do you work with clients outside the Philippines?
Yes. We are based in the Philippines and work with clients worldwide, async-first across time zones.
Who owns the code and the work?
You do. On handoff, the code, accounts, and assets are yours — no lock-in.
