Columbia, Missouri

Small software, actually finished.

Most software never reaches anyone who could pay for it. Not because it was badly built — because it never got done. That’s the whole problem this company works on.

Two kinds of thing on the shelf: websites we build and put live for you, and kits for people building their own software with AI agents. Everything is finished before it’s sold.

The measurement this is built on

Thirty days of work. How much of it a stranger could reach.

I ran this on my own operation expecting to feel fine about it. Eighteen percent of my changes reached anywhere a customer could get to. Half went into my own tooling. The product actually meant to earn money got three percent.

None of those days felt wasted at the time. That’s the trap, and it’s why everything below exists — each one closes a specific gap between having built something and someone being able to buy it.

What this is

A one-person software shop that ships small things.

No retainers, no discovery phase, no proposal deck. Everything here is either already built and downloadable, or a fixed price with a stated turnaround. You know what you’re paying and what arrives before you pay it.

We build it and put it live

A finished one-page website for a small business, published on your own web address. You look at the whole thing before you pay a penny.

You build it, we hand you the parts

Kits for people building software with AI agents. The instructions, the checks and the worked examples — downloaded the second you pay.

Nothing you can’t leave

Buy a website and the files are yours, in a form any other developer can pick up. No lock-in, no hostage domain, no cancellation maze.

The shelf

Everything here can be bought right now, and delivers.

Each buy path was tested on 7 August 2026 — the page loads, the card page opens, and the thing arrives. Nothing is listed that I can’t hand over.

The whole shop, as a kit

About

One person, in Missouri.

I’m Joe. CraniusMaximus is a limited company in Columbia, Missouri, and it is me and a lot of machinery — no team page, no stock photos of people pointing at a whiteboard.

Everything sold here started as something I needed. I kept building software that never reached a customer, measured how bad it was, and the measurement turned into products. The kits are the checks I run on my own work. The websites are the thing I got good at while trying to sell the kits.

That means the honest limits are stated up front. I’m one person, so a job has a queue. I don’t promise you customers or search rankings, because nobody can. And if something I sold you doesn’t work, you get a real reply from me, not a ticket number.

Questions

The things people actually ask.

Do I get a refund?

Depends what you bought, and both answers are on the page before you pay. Downloads are final sale — the files arrive the moment the payment clears and can’t be handed back. A website is refundable in full for 14 days, no explanation needed; I take it down and you keep the files.

Who actually does the work?

I do, with a lot of automation. There is no team, no offshore studio and no subcontractor. If that’s a problem for you it’s better known now than later.

Am I locked in?

No, and I’ve gone out of my way to make leaving easy. Buy a website and you get the files in a form any developer can use — a WordPress theme, or plain files you can host anywhere free. Your domain stays registered in your name the whole time. I never hold it.

The monthly plan cancels whenever you like and the site stays yours.

Will this get me customers?

I don’t know, and neither does anyone who tells you otherwise. I’ll build you something that works properly on a phone and says what you do. Whether people then buy is down to your business, not your website.

Do you store my card details?

Never. Payment happens on Stripe’s own page. I see that you paid, your email, and what you bought — not your card number. I don’t want it and I don’t keep it.

How did you get my email?

If I emailed you out of the blue, from public listings — map entries, directories, chambers of commerce, local press. I don’t buy contact lists. Reply “no thanks” to anything and you’re off for good. The full detail is in the privacy notice.

What if the thing I bought is broken?

Email me and I’ll fix it or refund it. The downloads are tested on every change — 71 automated checks covering whether the right files go in the box and whether an unpaid session can pull one out — but tests aren’t a guarantee, and a person is faster than an argument.

How long does a website take?

The page exists before you buy it, so “live” is usually the same day and always within one working day. Changes after that are part of the monthly plan — you email, I edit.

Contact

Email gets answered. So does the phone.

There’s no contact form here because a form is just an email with extra steps and a worse chance of reaching me. Write or call, and say what you’re trying to get done.
