The brief called for a place to share community stories and photographs, an update workflow for a nontechnical owner, and infrastructure for future giving. The public wording also needed to respect the organization’s stated legal boundaries.
Put AI to work. Keep people in charge.
Training, planning and custom tools for owner-led businesses and small teams, built around the work you already do.
Learn it. Adopt it. Build what fits.
Each one starts from work your team already does, with the scope and a fixed price agreed in writing before anything begins.
-
Team training
$1,500 – $2,500 · half or full day
Hands-on workshops built around your team’s real tasks. People leave knowing what to use AI for, how to check it, and when not to.
-
Adoption planning
$2,500 · two weeks
A short planning sprint that maps your recurring work and picks the one pilot, or simpler fix, worth doing first.
-
Custom tools
$6,000 – $15,000 · 4–6 weeks
A focused tool for one real workflow, tested on your own examples, with a person approving what it produces.
Websites and software, too.
Every project starts with a written plan and a fixed price.
- Website & app rescue from $3,000 Finish a stalled website or app, starting from an honest look at the code you already have.
- Custom software & internal tools from $15,000 Replace the spreadsheets, messages and manual steps your team works around with one tool built for the job.
- Small business web design from $1,500 A distinctive, mobile-friendly site that explains what you do and makes the next step obvious.
- Nonprofit websites from $4,000 A site that tells your story, publishes updates and takes donations into accounts your organization controls.
- App & MVP development from $25,000 A focused first version of your app, built around the one journey that matters most.
- Business automation from $2,500 Connect the tools you already use, so the copying, chasing and re-typing happen on their own.

The Code Review
$3,000 · two weeks

You work with me, start to finish.
I’m Chance Peragine. I have spent more than a decade building software, and Sunwave Studio is where I do that work for other people.
- Based in Reading, PA
Working with businesses across Berks County, Lancaster County and the Lehigh Valley, and in person when that helps.
- Honest about fit
If an off-the-shelf tool or a change to the process would do the job, you will hear that before you spend anything.
- Easy to reach
Send a message or call. I’ll reply within one business day.
Plan first. Then build.
You do not need a specification. Bring the problem and the people it affects, and we will shape the plan together.
- A conversation
Tell me what you need and what already exists. The first conversation commits you to nothing.
- A written plan
Scope, price, timeline and exclusions, agreed in writing before any work begins.
- Work you can see
You see the work as it develops, including the trade-offs and anything still unfinished.
- Launch and handover
You approve a private preview, then everything is handed over in your own accounts.
You own what you pay for.
Code, accounts and data stay in your name, so you can carry on with or without me.
- The work
On final payment, the custom code, design, content and data are yours: assigned, not licensed.
- The accounts
Domain, hosting, email and payments are in your name and on your billing from day one. I do not resell hosting.
- The code
It lives in your repository from the first commit, so another developer can pick it up at any point.
- The data
Anything the project stores comes with a documented export you can run yourself.
Support, licenses and ending terms
- After launch
Thirty days of fixes are included for anything that misses the agreed scope. After that, support is $125 an hour with no minimum, and a site that is down gets a response the same business day.
- Reusable parts
My reusable components stay mine, with a permanent free license for you and any developer you hire. Third-party software keeps its own license.
- Ending support
There is no minimum term and no cancellation fee; either side gives thirty days’ notice. Ending support never switches your site off.
- If I am unavailable
If you cannot reach me for ten business days, give your accounts, code and notes to another developer and carry on.
Live · public
Operation Floating Sunshine
A few minutes of sunshine.
A joyful public website its owner runs from a phone. Posts, photographs and Instagram content are prepared in a Telegram chat, checked in a private preview and published with one tap.
Designed and developed by Sunwave founder Chance Peragine as a pro-bono nonprofit project. Displayed with permission.
How it was built
What they needed
What was built
A live website with editable content, a built Stripe integration and a Telegram publishing workflow. The owner describes an update and sends photographs; draft text and photo descriptions return for review. The same chat makes Instagram reels and story cards. Behind it all, a Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud back office now runs in production, fed from the organization’s existing CRM every five minutes.
Why the details matter
Every publishing flow ends in a private preview before the owner taps approve. The checkout was built behind a default-off switch, with tests checking the gate. Content tests also reject prohibited legal wording. These checks support the people responsible for the decisions; they do not replace their judgment.
What should work better?
Tell me about the work and who does it today. It commits you to nothing, and I’ll reply within one business day.

Personal projects, not client commissions.
Two Bears and a Baby
Live · publicAn entirely unreasonable sticker store: two bears in patterned shirts, a department for every decision, and settings for reduced motion, larger text and stronger contrast.
Best visited before reading anything else about it.
Spatial Review
Built · not publicA phone-first tool for reviewing 3D models: tap a part, pick the moment in its animation and describe the change. Every revision is kept beside the original, never written over it.
Private and self-hosted.
nado
Built · not publicThe messaging system my own working day runs on, built so that a crash, even halfway through saving, cannot lose a message or handle it twice.
In daily use. Not a product.
Job Board
Built · not publicA private job-search tool. It ranks openings, explains each score with its sources, and drafts applications for a person to review.
For personal use. A person presses submit every time, and it has no automated tests.
Wordlitaire
In developmentAn original word game that plays solitaire with words, with the same daily board for every player.
Coming soon. The site is up, but the game cannot be played there yet.
Slop Mafia
Built · not publicA party game where people hide among AI players. Each match runs on a fixed budget of AI usage, shown on screen as fuel, and can be switched off at any moment.
Private alpha, locally self-hosted.
