Genuinely affordable
Big-budget quality without agency overhead. You pay for the work, not for layers of account managers and markup.
Where the name comes from.
An aphelion is the point in an orbit farthest from the sun. The name is a nod to my background in engineering physics, which is also where the technical side of this work comes from.
Aphelion is run by Jack Little, a full-stack software engineer and engineering physics student. The studio exists to give small businesses, creators, and startups the kind of work that usually carries a big-budget price tag, without the agency overhead and without settling for a template.
You get sharp digital tools that are genuinely affordable, the personal attention of working directly with the person writing the code, and a partner who thinks about where your business is headed, not just where it is today.
- Custom websites, modern frontends, forms, and dashboards.
- Automations and practical tools built for how you actually work.
- A build that starts small and scales into custom software only when custom software is the right answer.
Why work with me
Fewer layers, lower cost.
Fewer layers between you and the work means better decisions and a fairer price.
Personal attention
You work directly with me. Decisions about layout, forms, launch, ownership, and future updates stay clear because there is no handoff in the middle.
Truly full-stack
Design, build, data, and hosting handled end to end. One accountable person across the whole stack, from the first sketch to the live site.
Process
How I work.
A direct build process with one accountable developer, from kickoff to support.
Direct developer communication
No middlemen. You talk to the person building the site, so scope stays tight and questions get answered by someone who knows the code.
Ownership of your code
The work is yours. You keep the code and the accounts, so you are never locked in or held hostage by the studio that built it.
A clear launch checklist
Every launch runs through the same checklist for performance, accessibility, and the details that decide whether a site feels finished.
Revision and ongoing support
A lean first launch can grow into forms, dashboards, automations, and care plans later, with revisions and support handled personally.
Next step
Talk through the first useful version.
A lean first launch can grow into forms, dashboards, automations, and care plans down the line. Tell me what you are building.
