Founder & Full-Stack Engineer

Anthony Benacquisto

I lead every Flare project myself, from the first call to long after launch.

There’s no account manager between us and no junior team waiting after the contract is signed. When a project calls for more hands, I bring them in and lead the work, so when something needs attention, you still reach the engineer responsible for it.

I started out in IT support at an industrial company, looking after the computers that ran the scales and the day’s operations, plus the network, servers and cameras. When anything went down, the work stopped. It’s why security and reliability come first in everything I build, and why an IT team can trust it: mainstream technology any good developer already knows, documented from the first day, and yours to take anywhere.

How we work

Web-focused, not all-in-one

We do one thing: design and engineer platforms for the web. It is why we integrate cleanly with your marketing, creative and IT teams instead of competing with them.

Engineered, not assembled

Templates and page builders assemble a site from parts made for someone else. We engineer yours around how your business works: what your team edits, what it connects to and where it needs to grow. That is what keeps it fast, distinctive and easy to change years later.

Senior, start to finish

The senior engineer on your first call leads your platform from design through aftercare. No handoff to a junior team after the contract is signed.

Built to keep evolving

Aftercare keeps each platform improving after launch, and what we learn on one, or in our Lab, is offered to the rest on Core and Accelerator.

Who we work with

Teams who care how their platform performs years after launch, and who want a partner working alongside their marketing, creative and IT people.
