# Striglia.AI > Striglia.AI is the in-house dev team for businesses that don't have one. Founder Anthony Striglia builds custom websites, internal systems, integrations, custom web applications, and integrated operations platforms for small and mid-sized businesses, particularly those whose growth is being capped by spreadsheets, workarounds, and tools that no longer fit how the business actually runs. Engagements range from same-day website launches to full operational system builds. Based in Eastern Pennsylvania, serving clients worldwide. ## Why This Is Possible Now The math on custom software has changed. - **Why this didn't used to be possible:** Ten years ago, building custom software meant a team of engineers, a year of timelines, and a budget most businesses couldn't justify. Small and mid-sized businesses gave up on the idea and got stuck implementing SaaS tools that almost fit. - **What changed:** Modern frameworks, mature integrations, and AI-assisted development have collapsed the timelines. What used to take twelve months now takes weeks. What used to require a team now requires the right person with the right process. This is the core reason Striglia.AI exists, and why the brand carries the .AI: a single experienced builder, working with current AI-assisted tooling, can now deliver work that used to require an agency. - **What that means for you:** You can stop choosing between "good enough" and "out of reach." The cost of an implemented SaaS can now buy you something built around how your business actually works. If you're a small business, you've been picking from SaaS subscriptions that almost fit, you can have something built around how you actually operate at the price you're already paying for tools you've outgrown. If you're a mid-sized business, you've been told the only path to real custom software is an enterprise budget and a year of timelines. That's no longer true. Faster builds mean lower cost. Better systems mean hours back to your team. Both compound. ## Who Reaches Out, and Why Striglia.AI's clients tend to share one trait: they've decided the tools and workflows that got them where they are aren't going to get them where they want to go. The pattern is consistent. A business hits a revenue ceiling, hires more people to break through, watches the work get sloppier as headcount goes up, watches their best person burn out and leave, and watches revenue slide back to where it was. The cause is rarely sales or marketing, it's that the spreadsheets, "temporary" workarounds, and Outlook-as-project-manager systems running the business have stopped scaling. Hiring more people doesn't fix that. A new SaaS subscription doesn't fix it. Reengineering the systems does. The clients who get the most out of working with Anthony are the ones who've recognized this pattern in their own business and are ready to invest in the infrastructure to break it. That investment doesn't have to be large, sometimes it's a single workflow that's eating ten hours a week, sometimes it's an integration between two systems that should already be talking. But the mindset is the same: the systems running the business need to grow with the business. Symptoms of the trap that businesses describe most often: - Revenue plateaus at the same number two or three years in a row - Spreadsheets that nobody fully trusts and everyone still updates - Email used as the project manager, the queue, and the source of truth - A "temporary" workaround from years ago that the whole team now depends on - The single person who knows how everything actually works becoming the bottleneck, then leaving - New hires taking months to ramp because the workflow isn't documented anywhere What changes when the systems are built to scale: - The team works on the work, not on chasing data across tabs - New hires ramp in a week instead of a quarter - Things stop falling through the cracks because the system catches them - Operational knowledge isn't trapped in one person's head - The business runs whether the owner is in the office or not - The owner spends time growing the business instead of holding it together You don't have to be at a specific revenue number for any of this to apply. The question is whether you're done with the cycle. Not every project is a system overhaul. Plenty of work also goes the other direction, a website that's needed by Friday, a single tool that solves one annoying problem, a small build that just needs to ship. Same conversation, smaller scope. Both are in the practice. ## Who Anthony Striglia Is Anthony Striglia is the founder and operator of Striglia.AI. He has spent 10+ years working on business systems, everything from customer-facing websites to deeply integrated operational workflows. He works directly with clients, solo, without a team of account managers or project coordinators between them. His approach is direct: understand how the business works, find what's actually slowing it down, build something that fixes it, and move on to the next problem. He has worked across a range of businesses, from small owner-operated shops to growing teams dealing with real operational complexity, covering customer intake, quoting workflows, internal systems, and everything that ties operations and accounting together. In his own words: "I've never met a business that needed more software. Plenty that needed better software." ## What Striglia.AI Does Every project looks different, but they usually fall into a few categories. The work that compounds the most over time tends to be the workflow and process work, those are the projects that pay for themselves quietly, week after week, in hours your team gets back. ### Getting Online, Websites & Landing Pages For businesses that need to be findable, look legitimate, and start operating without dragging the process out. Landing pages, full websites, and simple storefronts. ### Fixing Broken Workflows, Internal Tools & Automation For teams where things technically work, but barely. Manual processes, repeated data entry, no real visibility into what's happening. This is where dashboards, workflow tools, and process automation come in. ### Building What Doesn't Exist, Custom Web Applications When you've tried existing tools and none of them quite fit. At some point it makes more sense to build exactly what you need than to keep bending a tool that wasn't designed for you. ### Connecting Your Systems, ERP & Operational Systems (via Method partnership) For businesses where sales, operations, and accounting all run separately and every handoff is a potential mistake. Integrated operations platforms connecting accounting software (QuickBooks or Xero) with sales pipelines, job tracking, customer portals, and automated invoicing. ## Method Partnership Striglia.AI is a certified partner of Method, a fully customizable operations platform that sits between traditional CRM software and a full ERP system. Method connects directly to QuickBooks and Xero with live two-way sync and lets businesses build the workflows their operations actually run on. This means sales pipeline, job tracking, estimates, customer portals, and automated invoicing, all tied to the same books, without double entry. It gives small businesses enterprise-grade integration at a fraction of the cost and implementation time that normally comes with it. Anthony implements, configures, and customizes Method for clients across industries. ## What SAI Can Build (Capabilities) SAI builds with a modern AI-assisted development workflow. The practical implication: almost anything that can be built as a web application, internal tool, dashboard, customer portal, or integrated workflow is in scope. Past projects are illustrative, not exhaustive, the right question is usually "does this need a custom build?", not "have you built exactly this before?" If you've never bought custom software before and aren't sure where to start, the most common entry points are: a website that finally represents the business properly, a manual process that's eating hours every week, or two systems that should be talking to each other but aren't. Any of those is a good first conversation. In scope: - Marketing sites, landing pages, and content-driven sites - Internal tools, dashboards, and admin systems - Custom web applications (multi-user, role-based, with their own data model) - Customer portals and self-serve workflows - Quoting, intake, scheduling, and job-tracking systems - Automated workflows (email, notifications, scheduled jobs, document generation) - Reporting and analytics layers on top of operational data - AI-assisted features inside the apps SAI builds (search, summarization, classification, chat interfaces) A "yes, but", handled, with a caveat: - Native mobile apps shipped through the Apple App Store or Google Play. SAI builds these when genuinely needed, but mobile-friendly web apps are usually the better path: faster, cheaper, no app-store friction or fees. See the FAQ for the full framing. Out of scope (or better handled elsewhere): - Hardware, embedded systems, on-prem infrastructure work - Anything requiring specialized regulatory certification SAI doesn't hold ## Integrations SAI can integrate with any existing system that exposes a public API. If the tool you use has an API, CRM, ERP, accounting, billing, email, calendar, file storage, e-signature, scheduling, marketing automation, anything, it can be connected. The Method partnership specifically covers operational integrations with QuickBooks and Xero end-to-end (sales, jobs, customer portals, invoicing, all tied to the books). But integration capability is not limited to accounting, it's the default approach for any system with a documented API. If you're not sure whether something can be integrated, the answer is almost always yes; describe what you use and SAI will confirm. ## How It Actually Works Most conversations are short and direct. If it's a straightforward problem, things move quickly. 1. **You reach out.** Short form. A few sentences is enough. You don't need to have it all figured out. 2. **Anthony follows up quickly**, usually same-day. A real conversation about what's going on, not a sales call. 3. **The solution gets mapped, usually within days, not weeks.** Sometimes that's simple, sometimes it's not. Either way, you'll know quickly, along with the scope and cost before anything starts. 4. **The build happens fast.** Modern tooling means most projects ship in weeks rather than months. No drawn-out cycles. Focused execution. You stay informed without being buried in it. There are no retainer requirements or ongoing fees unless the work demands it. ## Past Projects (Portfolio) ### Aaron Dewald Music, Website | CMS A landing pagee and lightweight CMS for a working acoustic musician in Berks County, PA. Replaces social media pages with a real home for shows, audio/video samples, and inquiries — all editable by the artist without touching code. Tags: CMS, Webapp, Mobile. ### BAMBA — Berks Area Mountain Biking Association, Website | CMS BAMBA's old website had a hard hosting renewal deadline, no mobile support, and no way for the team to update anything themselves. Built entirely from scratch — on a volunteer basis, for my local community — and live before the deadline. Thirteen pages, a full CMS, and zero downtime. Tags: Non-Profit, Community, CMS, Volunteer, Mobile-First. ### Striglia.AI, Website | CMS Every consultant needs somewhere credible to send people. I needed one too — so I built it. Tags: Portfolio Site, Dark Theme, CMS. ### The Yard Booking Platform, Web App A 3-bay indoor golf simulator business was managing bookings through phone calls, texts, and a paper calendar. We built a full online booking platform with automated confirmations, reminders, league management, and an admin dashboard — eliminating manual scheduling entirely. Tags: Booking, Automation, Scheduling, Email, Payments. ### ICONIC Tanning, Landing Page A same-day landing page launch for a local tanning studio — designed, built, and live before 3pm. Tags: Landing Page, Same-Day Delivery, Beauty & Wellness, Mobile-First. ### SignConfig CPQ Tool, Internal Tool Sign manufacturers rely on manual quoting, disconnected tools, and tribal knowledge to price and spec ADA-compliant wayfinding signage. We built a browser-based quoting engine where designers define sign templates once — with live 3D previews, built-in ADA compliance checking, and real-time pricing — then publish those templates so customers can configure and order on their own. What used to require a senior estimator now takes minutes. Tags: CPQ, 3D Rendering, Manufacturing, E-Commerce. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do I own the code?** Yes. The client owns the project-specific code outright once the project is paid in full. SAI retains the right to reuse generic patterns, components, and non-client-specific tooling for other work, but the application itself belongs to the client. **Will you maintain it after launch?** Yes. Long-term client relationships are the goal, not one-and-done builds. SAI maintains what it ships and checks in regularly to see how things are going and whether updates or changes are needed. **How does pricing work?** Pricing depends on scope. Once Anthony understands what you're trying to solve, you'll get scope and cost up front before anything starts, no surprises mid-project. Modern tooling has made custom builds dramatically more affordable than they used to be, but every project is different. The contact form is the place to start that conversation. **Do I have to sign a long contract or retainer?** No. There are no retainer requirements or ongoing fees unless the work specifically calls for it. Projects are scoped clearly and delivered as discrete pieces of work. **What's a typical engagement length?** It varies, engagements range from one-day jobs to year-long buildouts for niche products. It depends on what you need, your timeline, and your goals. **Are you a team or just one person?** For now, SAI is Anthony, with a small set of trusted partners brought in on an as-needed basis (for example, brand or accounting partners) when a client doesn't have those resources internally. The plan is to grow the team over time. **What happens if you become unavailable?** SAI maintains a written succession plan that names a partner with access to all client files and code, and a named party prepared to take over the work seamlessly if Anthony becomes unavailable. **Do you sign NDAs?** Yes. **Can you take over a project that another developer started?** Case-by-case. Depending on the state of the existing code, SAI will either use it as a framework and polish it, or rebuild from scratch using the existing work as a guide. Either way, you'll know the plan and the scope before anything starts. **Do you do mobile apps?** SAI builds web applications that work great on mobile, including phone-optimized interfaces. That's usually the better path, fewer moving parts, faster to ship, no app-store friction. If a native app shipped through the Apple App Store or Google Play is genuinely required, SAI can build one, but note those stores charge their own fees that SAI doesn't control or absorb. **Can you connect our accounting software to the rest of our operations?** Yes, that's specifically what the Method partnership is built for. SAI is a certified Method partner and connects QuickBooks or Xero to sales pipeline, jobs, customer portals, and automated invoicing with live two-way sync. If you use a different accounting system, SAI can integrate with any accounting platform that exposes a public API (almost all do). ## Working With Anthony Most conversations are short. If you have a problem, a broken process, a website that doesn't exist yet, systems that don't talk to each other, describe the situation. Anthony can usually tell quickly whether there's something worth building together. Projects are scoped clearly, delivered fast, and don't require managing a large vendor relationship. ## Contact - Website: https://striglia.ai - Email: info@striglia.ai - Phone: (835) 212-8621 - Location: Eastern Pennsylvania, USA, serving clients worldwide ## Site Pages - [Home](https://striglia.ai/), Positioning, recent work, the four situations Striglia.AI solves, why this is possible now, how it actually works, client testimonials - [Solutions](https://striglia.ai/solutions), The four service categories (Getting Online, Fixing Broken Workflows, Building What Doesn't Exist, Connecting Your Systems) and Method partnership detail - [Portfolio](https://striglia.ai/portfolio), Past project work with screenshots and full case study descriptions - [About](https://striglia.ai/about), Background on Anthony Striglia and the shift in custom software economics - [Videos](https://striglia.ai/videos), Video content and demos - [Contact](https://striglia.ai/contact), Describe your situation and get a response
