Nearshore engineering · Central Time, year-round
JADE7 builds custom software, web platforms and automation for US companies from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We work on Central Time all year — within an hour of Chicago and Denver, never more than two from New York or Los Angeles.

Nearshore is not a discount version of onshore. It is the arrangement where the people building your software are awake when you are, close enough to visit, and working under the same expectations of ownership and accountability you would apply to an in-house team. Distance stops mattering when the working day is shared.
Capabilities
Each of these is a full engagement — design, build, deployment and ongoing maintenance — rather than a body of developers rented by the hour.
Time zone
Vendors are vague about hours because vagueness survives contact with reality better than a number does. Here are the numbers. The full nearshore explanation covers what they mean in practice.
Within an hour, in both halves of the year.
One to two hours, never more.
Mexico stopped observing DST in 2022, so our clock does not move — the offset shifts, and both cases are within the numbers above.

Why companies stay
JADE7 is backed by more than 26 years of the founder's direct experience in software engineering, web development, e-commerce and enterprise systems. We do not claim the firm is that old — we claim every project benefits from that judgment.
Work is reviewed the same day it is raised. Nothing waits overnight for a reply from the other side of the world.
Source, documentation and infrastructure access are handed over. Keeping us on afterwards is a choice, not a dependency.
You see working software before the project ends, so priorities can be adjusted against something real instead of a document.
Backed by 26+ years of the founder's hands-on engineering experience across web, e-commerce and enterprise systems.
How we work
A disciplined process lowers risk, keeps priorities visible and gives every decision an owner. You see working software long before the project ends.
We start with the business and the problem, not a technology list. What has to change, and what is it worth?
Scope, architecture, priorities and a concrete proposal — in writing, before anyone writes code.
Staged delivery with working software you can review, and direct access to the people building it.
We ship it, and we can keep running it: hosting, monitoring, updates and the next set of features.
The name behind the studio
JADE7 takes its name from the family behind the company. “Jade” reflects the initials shared by the family, and the number seven represents the seven people at its center.
It is a reminder that this company is being built for the long term: carefully, accountably, and with a commitment to work that outlasts the engagement that produced it.
