Custom Software Development

What We Build
Full-Cycle IT Services,
No Subcontracting
Every project is built in-house, by the same team you speak with. We handle requirements, architecture, development, testing, deployment, and ongoing support — with one point of accountability throughout.
Web Development & Design
Corporate sites, landing pages, and web applications built for speed, search visibility, and conversion. Semantic HTML, real SEO, no page builders.
Web Development →CRM & Business Systems
Custom CRM platforms built to match your sales cycle and reporting needs — because adapting your team to off-the-shelf software costs more than building the right tool.
CRM Systems →CMS & Content Platforms
WordPress, Drupal, and custom CMS implementations with proper plugin architecture, editorial workflows, and performance tuning from day one.
CMS Platforms →Infrastructure & Deployment
Linux server configuration, cloud migration, CI/CD pipelines, and hardened production environments — built to stay up and survive real load.
Infrastructure →Technical Support & Maintenance
Ongoing support retainers for systems already in production: security patches, performance monitoring, incident response, and feature work on a known codebase.

What Actually Matters When You Hire a Dev Team
Every IT company claims quality and communication. Here's what that looks like in practice at ITMem.
Written specs before any code
We document requirements, architecture decisions, and data models in writing — agreed upon and signed off before development starts. No ambiguity at handover.
You own the code outright
Full IP transfer on final payment — always. The source code, the deployment scripts, the documentation. No vendor lock-in, no "maintenance required" clause.
98% on-time delivery rate
Across 120+ projects over ten years. We build schedule buffers in, scope honestly, and flag risks early — so missed deadlines stay rare, not routine.
Direct engineer access
No account managers between you and the people building your product. Faster decisions, fewer misunderstandings, and someone who can actually answer a technical question.
Staged delivery, no big reveals
Working software on a staging environment every sprint. You review progress, give feedback, and approve before we move on — not after months of silence.
Pittsburgh-based accountability
We're a local company. Our reputation is built on referrals within Western Pennsylvania's business community. We don't outsource offshore and we don't disappear after launch.
How We Work
A Process That Keeps
You in Control
Failed software projects usually come down to a breakdown in communication or planning — not bad code. Our process is built around exactly those two failure modes.
Every project starts with a written specification. Every sprint ends with a working build on staging. Nothing goes to production without your sign-off.
See the Full ProcessDiscovery Call
We listen. You describe the problem; we ask the questions that clarify scope, constraints, and success criteria.
Written Spec & Proposal
A documented technical specification and fixed-price (or T&M) proposal — agreed before development begins.
Iterative Development
Sprints with staging deployments. You review progress and give feedback on working software, not mockups.
Launch & Handover
Production deployment, monitoring setup, documentation, and team onboarding — then ongoing support if needed.

Client Feedback
What Pittsburgh Businesses Say About Working With Us
"ITMem replaced three tools we were managing in parallel — all with one custom order management system, delivered on time and on budget. Their team communicated throughout and didn't disappear after launch."
"We needed a CRM that matched how our sales team actually works. ITMem built exactly that — and it paid for itself in the first quarter by eliminating the hours we were wasting on manual data entry."
"They migrated our legacy PHP 5.6 platform to a modern stack with zero downtime. The code is clean, properly documented, and our internal team can actually maintain it now. That last part is rarer than you'd think."
