Quality Development Without the Agency Markup
Madison is one of the Midwest's most tech-savvy cities. Between UW-Madison, Epic Systems, and a thriving startup ecosystem, the bar for technology here is high. But you don't need to pay Madison agency rates to get Madison-quality work. Solar Pixel delivers the same caliber of development from just across the border in Iowa - at a price point that makes a lot more sense.
We're based in Cascade, Iowa - about two hours west of Madison. We've been building custom software for over 20 years, and our work has powered nationwide operations, processed millions in transactions, and served hundreds of thousands of users. We bring that depth to Madison projects at a fraction of what a State Street agency charges.
What We Build for Madison Businesses
Custom Web Applications
Business management platforms, data-driven applications, customer portals, and internal tools. Madison businesses expect software that's well-engineered - and that's exactly what we deliver. Clean code, scalable architecture, and interfaces people actually want to use.
AI Solutions & Automation
Chatbots, workflow automation, intelligent data processing, and AI-powered business tools. We help Madison organizations implement AI practically - with clear goals, measurable outcomes, and integration into existing systems.
Mobile Apps & Digital Products
iOS, Android, and cross-platform apps for startups and established businesses alike. Whether you're launching an MVP to test a market or building a production-grade tool, we handle the full development lifecycle.
Websites, APIs & Integrations
Professional websites, API development, third-party integrations, and custom sales platforms. We connect your technology stack and build the digital presence your business needs to compete.
Cross-Border, No Compromise
We work with Madison clients remotely - the same way most development teams operate today, even when they're in the same city. You'll have direct access to the developer building your project through video calls, screen shares, and messaging. No account managers relaying your feedback to someone you've never met.
The result is faster development, clearer communication, and significantly lower costs. We're close enough for an in-person kickoff meeting when it makes sense, and experienced enough to deliver complex projects entirely remotely when it doesn't.
