We're engineers who have been shipping online stores and enterprise portals for Russian and Kazakh mid‑market since 2015. In 2024 we packaged our headless stack into our own product — Frontbox — and switched from billing hours to shipping outcomes.
While classical agencies sell months and millions, and AI builders ship prototypes without integrations, we sit exactly between them. We ship a live store on your catalog in 2 weeks, keep 1C, Bitrix and CRM untouched, and move you to a subscription with SLA and a vendor‑lock‑in‑free handoff.
Two bases — Saint Petersburg and Almaty. A partner presence in Dubai. Working languages — Russian, Kazakh, English. Compliance — 152‑FZ for Russia, GDPR for the EU, on‑prem / FSTEC for gov and fintech.
We're building a studio that sells results, not hours. That's why every contract has metrics baked in, every product is open‑core, and every engagement starts with a pilot.
