Coffee Shop & Café
Big photography, a menu that's easy to update, store hours and directions one tap away, built to make people crave the place.
A Philippine software studio building web apps, mobile apps, and the business systems behind them, for clients at home and overseas. We stay on after launch to keep it working.

Website samples
Sample directions for the kinds of websites we build. Each preview shows the real demo site. Click one to explore it live, then we design yours around your brand, your content, and how your customers actually buy.
Big photography, a menu that's easy to update, store hours and directions one tap away, built to make people crave the place.
Dishes that photograph beautifully, a proper course menu, and reservations that fill your quiet tables.
Services, doctors, and an appointment form patients can use from their phone. No more missed calls.
Listings with search and filters, photo galleries, and enquiry forms that go straight to your agents.
Tour packages with itineraries and prices, plus booking forms that capture dates and group size.
A portfolio that looks as good as your shots, with packages and date enquiries built in.
Completed projects with photos, the services you offer, and a quote form that pre-qualifies the job.
Tell your mission, show your programs, and take donations and volunteer sign-ups online.
These are style directions, not off-the-shelf templates. Every build is designed around your brand and content.
What we build
Then they find out we build the rest of it too — the systems behind the counter, the app your staff carry, the parts that run on their own. Here is the whole range, grouped by who it’s for.
Fast, findable in Google, and easy enough that you can update it yourself.
Company profiles · Landing pages · Branch & location pages
Checkout that takes GCash, cards, and bank transfer, with stock that stays in sync.
Product catalogues · Delivery zones · Order tracking
Dashboards, booking systems, and customer portals — the screens your staff sit in all day.
Admin dashboards · Bookings & scheduling · Client portals
Inventory, orders, scheduling, records. The unglamorous software your week actually runs on.
Stock & inventory · Invoicing & receipts · Records and reports
iOS and Android, built from how your people already work instead of from a template.
Field & delivery apps · Staff tools · Loyalty apps
Chatbots that handle the first question, document processing, and the copy-paste nobody enjoys.
Chatbots · Receipt & document scanning · Scheduled reports
Plenty of jobs don’t have a neat label. We take those on too:
If it’s software and it isn’t on this page, ask anyway. You’ll get a straight yes, or an honest no with a pointer to someone who does it better.

01 Hosting · Updates · Support
Every build ships with a 30-day warranty. If something we wrote is broken, we fix it at no charge. After that, keeping it healthy is ongoing work: security patches, backups, uptime monitoring, and the small changes that always come up. That runs on a tiered care plan you pay for separately, so support is steady instead of a scramble when something breaks.
02 Automate · Connect · Save time
We point AI at the repetitive parts of your operations: the manual data entry, the copy-paste between systems, the first line of customer questions. Your team gets that time back.
03 Web · Mobile · Custom
Full-stack web and mobile development. We write tested, documented code and ship it in small steps you can watch, so what launches is something another developer can pick up and keep building.
04 Design · Launch · Grow
Have an idea but no spec yet? We help shape it. A bit of research, a design, and a first version small enough to launch and learn from real users.
Why Makarios
No outsourcing, no juniors, no handoffs. We scope your project, design it, write it, and answer the phone about it ourselves.
You see working software early, and you see it often. We'd rather show you something real every week than disappear for a month.
Commission a custom build and the code is yours to keep: clean repositories, real documentation, a proper handover. No lock-in, no black boxes. Our own products (SnapSibo, Quavora, WattView) work the other way: those are subscriptions, where the data is yours and exportable any time, and the code stays ours.
Launch isn’t the end of the relationship. If you want us to keep monitoring and improving things, that runs on a care plan you pay for separately from the build, for as long as you need it.
From the Philippines
Working on Manila time, for clients anywhere.
How we work
We dig into the problem, who it’s for, and what’s in the way. Then we agree on what a win actually looks like.
We map the flows and build clickable prototypes before writing much code, so we get the experience right first.
We build in short sprints you can follow. Everything gets tested, reviewed, and pushed to a staging site as it’s done.
Launch day comes with monitoring, analytics, and a rollback plan ready to go. Nothing reaches production untested.
Want us to keep maintaining and improving things after launch? That’s an optional care plan, billed separately from the build.
Our promise
No account managers, no outsourced teams, no being passed along. The people who design and build your software are the people you deal with.
Work lands as functioning software in short sprints, so you're never left waiting in the dark for one big reveal at the end.
On a custom build, code, documentation and accounts are handed over in full. On a product subscription, your data stays exportable whenever you want it. Either way, nothing is held hostage.
Every serious enquiry gets a genuine answer from a person within two business days. No bots, no runaround.
Client stories land here once our first projects wrap.

On a custom build, yes. The repositories, the documentation and the accounts are handed over in full, and you can take them elsewhere at any time. Our own products (SnapSibo, Quavora, WattView) work differently: those are subscriptions, so the code stays ours while your data remains yours and exportable whenever you ask.
We quote per project rather than from a price list, because a three-branch inventory system and a marketing site aren't the same job. Custom builds are a one-time build cost plus ongoing hosting and care. Product subscriptions have a one-time setup covering module configuration, migrating your existing data and training your team, then a monthly fee. Tell us what you need and you'll get a real number, not a range.
Discovery is usually about a week, design one to two, then build in sprints you can follow. A focused first version is typically measured in weeks; a larger system in months. You'll see working software early and often rather than waiting for one reveal at the end.
Every build ships with a 30-day warranty. If something we wrote is broken, we fix it at no charge. Beyond that, keeping software healthy is ongoing work: security patches, backups, monitoring and the small changes that always come up. That runs on a care plan billed separately, so support is steady rather than a scramble.
Nothing is held hostage. On a custom build you keep the code and can run it yourself or hand it to another team. On a product subscription your data stays exportable. We'll agree the notice period and export window in writing before work starts, so there are no surprises either way.
Quavora if your process is fairly standard, your team is small, and you'd rather subscribe than commission a build: a one-time setup fee covers configuration, data migration and training, then it's monthly. Custom if your workflow is genuinely unusual, you need deep integration with systems you already run, or you want to own the code outright. That last one is the real dividing line — a custom build is yours to keep, while Quavora stays ours and runs on our hosting. Quavora is still in development, so for now the choice usually means starting custom or joining the waitlist. Either way, we'll tell you honestly which one fits.
Yes. Book a call and we'll walk you through it live using sample data. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to set up on your side. SnapSibo is in beta and we can arrange access for your team from there. Quavora is still in development, so join the waitlist and we'll show you the moment it's ready rather than demo something half-finished.
