Solving Technology Problems Other Developers Couldn't
When your app, website, or platform isn't doing what your business needs it to do—and conventional solutions have failed—we find the bottleneck and solve it.
Technology Should Enable Your Business, Not Block It
You have a clear vision for what your product needs to do. Maybe you've already tried working with developers who said 'yes' but couldn't deliver. Or your current platform is hitting limits no one anticipated. Your technology has become the bottleneck preventing the next phase of growth.
That's exactly where we come in.

Product Architecture
That Solves
What Others Couldn't
Here's what we've learned from solving dozens of complex technology problems: The projects that succeed after others have failed require someone who can identify the critical bottleneck that everyone else missed.
At Atherton Hill, we specialize in the technology challenges that have stumped other development teams. We find the architectural issues, integration problems, or technical constraints blocking your progress—and we solve them.
Whether it's rescuing a stalled project, architecting a solution that actually works for your business model, or finally connecting systems that everyone said couldn't talk to each other, we deliver results when conventional approaches have failed.
Strategic Foundation
Product Architecture & Strategy
Technical architecture that solves your business problem, not just follows best practices. We design solutions that account for your constraints, integrations, and growth trajectory.
Unstick Stalled Projects
Implementation Rescue
When your development project is stalled or failing, we identify the critical bottleneck and get it unstuck. We've successfully delivered projects that four other agencies couldn't complete.
It's simple
1
Discovery & Diagnosis
Book a consultation where we dig into your technology challenge. We identify what's blocking progress and whether we're the right fit to solve it.
2
Architecture & Solution
We design the technical approach that solves your specific problem—accounting for your constraints, existing systems, and business requirements.
3
Implementation & Delivery
We build the solution, navigating the technical complexities so your product finally does what your business needs it to do.
FAQ
When should I hire a product architect instead of just another developer?
When you've hit a technical problem that's blocking business progress and conventional solutions haven't worked. Product architects identify why implementations are failing and design solutions that account for constraints other developers miss. If you've already tried working with developers and the problem persists, that's when you need architectural expertise.
What makes a technology problem 'complex'?
Complexity usually comes from one of three sources: systems that weren't designed to integrate, business requirements that don't fit standard solutions, or technical constraints that require creative problem-solving. The hallmark of a complex problem is that experienced developers have looked at it and either declined or failed to solve it.
How is product architecture different from development?
Developers implement solutions. Architects figure out what solution will actually work. Before writing code, we identify bottlenecks, evaluate approaches, and design the technical strategy. This is especially valuable when the path forward isn't obvious or previous attempts have failed.
Do you only work on rescue projects?
No. While we excel at solving problems others couldn't, we also work with businesses that want to avoid those problems entirely. If you're planning a complex technical initiative and want to make sure it's architected correctly from the start, we can provide that strategic guidance.
What technologies and platforms do you work with?
We work across modern web technologies including FlutterFlow, React, Node.js, and various integration platforms. Our strength isn't being experts in every specific tool—it's identifying architectural solutions regardless of the technology stack. We focus on solving the business problem, then selecting or working within the appropriate technical approach.
How long does it take to solve a complex technical problem?
It depends on the nature of the bottleneck. Sometimes the solution is identifying one critical architectural flaw—that might take days. Other times it requires building custom integration layers or rearchitecting significant portions of a system—that could take weeks or months. The discovery phase gives us clarity on scope and timeline.
