一What we do

One team, the whole product.

What does Bushido do?

Bushido is a product design and development studio in Novi Sad, Serbia, building since 2017. We design and build digital products for founders, make apps built with AI coding tools production-ready, move marketing sites from Webflow, Framer or WordPress to Astro, and give founders a CTO’s judgement on call.

A split globe between the past and the future, a man looking ahead.

二How a project runs

Agree first. Then build.

*Drawn to scale, in weeks. The build is one of the two, never both.

Two weeks to agree what to build

Concept, design sprint, a prototype tested with users, the architecture. Ends in a fixed quote.

A fast build

When the what and the how are clear.

Or an explore build

When the product still needs discovering.

Then grow, or hand over →

Tests, CI/CD, monitoring and documentation. The code is yours.

What each step costs →

三The standard

The tools changed. The standard did not.

Our work runs on our own software factory: agents write, test and check the code, and the decisions go to a builder. You work directly with Branko, the founder who builds it.

  1. Builders make every call.What to build, the architecture, the trade-offs. A builder reviews every outcome.
  2. A partner on the edge.The tools change weekly. We bring the ideas early, and say what no longer needs building.
  3. You own everything.The code, the tests, the documentation. No lock-in.
  4. We will tell you when the fastest path is the wrong one.

The speed is new. The standard is not.

四Then and now

*Then and now

The same brief, run today.

Project Then Now
SWANS 2 months 2 engineers 6 to 8 weeks A product lead and a builder, each with agents, and a designer in the sprint
Flur 8 weeks 2 developers and a delivery manager 6 to 8 weeks A product lead and a builder with Solidity, each with agents
OccamStrata 3 months 1 automation engineer 8 to 10 weeks A product lead and a builder, each with agents
AnyoneGroup 6 months A CTO and 3 developers 3.5 to 4 months A product lead, a designer and two builders, each with agents
CachePay 6 months 3 developers and a delivery manager 3.5 to 4 months A product lead and two builders, each with agents, and a designer in the sprint

Bushido’s estimate, the same brief run in 2026. The “then” column is what happened.

Questions

Straight answers. No discovery call required.

How much does it cost?

Our prices are public. A rescue starts with a free audit, stabilisation from $10k; a migration to Astro from $5k; a product starts with a two-week sprint billed by the week, then a fixed quote, from $25k. Every price is on the pricing page, in USD.

How long does it take?

Two weeks to agree what to build, then a fast build of under two months, or an explore build of two to four months when the product still needs discovering.

Do you use AI agents to write our code?

Yes, in our own software factory: agents write, test and check the code, and send the decisions to a builder. A builder reviews every outcome before it ships, and you get a repository your team can maintain.

Is Bushido a design agency or a development agency?

Both. Product, design and engineering sit in one small team, so the people who design it are the people who build it.

How do we start?

Book a 30-minute call or email vision@bshdo.co. We are in Novi Sad, Serbia (CET), and overlap with UK, EU and US Eastern working hours.

六Begin

*The harder the problem, the better

Bring us something difficult.

Thirty minutes with a builder, not a salesperson. If we are not the right team, we will say so.
