Budget Sidekick
A live consumer finance product we built and operate — mortgage rates, loan eligibility, home equity, and a free budget app.
Visit Budget SidekickWe build software and the businesses around it.
We build our own products and we build for clients. Web applications, marketing sites, integrations — from first line of code to production.
What we own
Products & lines of business
We don't just consult. We ship products, operate the businesses behind them, and take on client work with the same stack.
Client work
The same team that ships our products builds yours.
Architecture, design, development, and operations. Not a handoff between vendors.
Start a conversation- 01
Applications & websites
Full stack web applications, marketing sites, and business tools. From solo projects to enterprise integrations, we handle the entire stack.
- 02
Digital marketing systems
Paid media, lead generation, landing pages, tracking, conversion, and financial dashboards. Built and operated with the same precision as our product work.
- 03
Design that ships
Brand, web, and UX/UI for marketing sites and applications. Clear visual systems that hold up in production, not just mockups.
- 04
Integrations & infrastructure
APIs, QuickBooks / CRM / ERP, AWS and Azure, CI/CD. The layer that makes the rest of the system actually run.
From the shop
Selected writing
Case studies and notes on how we actually build.
Designing a Time Tracking System
A simple daily trail of salaried and non-salaried hours, closed with payroll and emailed as a PDF.
Affiliate Reconciliation to the Penny
How we built an affiliate reconciliation system that reconciles to the penny — and what that standard revealed about fraud, precision, and the cost of 'close enough.'
Lead Verification Built Into the Infrastructure and Code
How we protect Budget Sidekick's low-friction assets from bot traffic and fraud — without breaking the experience for real users or legitimate crawlers.

About
About Primordial Software
Primordial Software was founded by Timothy Gonzalez, a senior full-stack developer with 15 years of experience building enterprise web applications. That includes nine years at ConnectWise, leading a .NET modernization at PODS, and directing IT at Roger West for Fortune 500, logistics, and national restaurant accounts.
That background is why Primordial Software exists — to build products we own and to take on client work across the full stack. Budget Sidekick and K&T Textiles are products we built and operate. Client projects get the same treatment: architecture, development, deployment, and support.
