Independent software studio / Tacoma, WA
Websites, apps, and useful software.
Made for the people who use them.
Bring the idea, the problem, or the thing that could work better. I’ll help you find a focused starting point and build it through to launch.
Built by Tyler Henson.
One engineer. A direct line from idea to delivery.
A clearer way to build
Turn a broad idea into a useful first version, with a scope you can understand.
01 What I build
A business that needs a better home online.
An idea ready for its first users.
A workflow that deserves better software.
Your presence
A clear, fast, responsive site that helps the right people understand your business and take the next step.
Your idea
From an early concept to a working first version, with interfaces and features shaped around a real need.
Your next improvement
Connect the systems you already use, replace repetitive work, or make an existing product work better.
Every project starts with a conversation and a written scope. You’ll know what’s included, what it costs, and what comes next.
Service details02 How it works
A practical process, regular previews,
and someone you can actually talk to.
We talk through your goals, users, and constraints. For bigger ideas, a discovery phase turns the unknowns into a buildable plan.
We agree on scope, milestones, price, and payment terms before work begins. During the build, you get working previews and a clear next update.
We review the finished work, prepare production, and walk through how to use it. Your agreement covers ownership, handoff, and any ongoing support.
Your business. Your accounts.
For commissioned work, you normally own the domain and production accounts. I work through delegated access, and you pay providers directly. Hosting, third-party fees, code ownership, and support are explained in your project agreement.
03 The studio
I’m Tyler, the engineer behind HensTek. I build across web, mobile, desktop, and TV, and bring that product perspective to the work I do for other people.
You work directly with the person designing and building your project. We can talk through the tradeoffs, keep the scope practical, and make the next decision together.

It depends on the outcome, complexity, and existing systems. We agree on a written quote before work starts. Larger or uncertain projects may begin with a separately scoped, paid discovery phase. Quotes identify applicable taxes and third-party costs.
Yes. Bring the problem you want to solve and who you want to solve it for. We’ll work out what a useful first version looks like before committing to a full build.
We decide what you need to manage during scoping: content, products, users, or other settings. The solution, admin access, documentation, and training are part of the agreed deliverables.
Your project agreement defines the handoff, any included correction period, and support responsibilities. Ongoing care or new features are available by separate agreement, with clear pricing and cancellation terms.
Your quote sets the payment schedule and milestones. Scope changes need written approval, including any cost or schedule change. Payments are requested by invoice; cancellation and refund requests are handled under your agreement and applicable law. Read the service policies.
