01
Our Approach
We don't just build software — we engineer foundations.

Most agencies sell subscriptions. They sell dependency. They sell surface-level marketing and lock you into platforms you don't control. Greater Lakehouse was built on a different belief — powerful digital infrastructure shouldn't be limited to enterprise budgets.

We start with your business: your goals, your gaps, where you're losing time and money. The technology recommendation comes after. Whether you're a local contractor tired of renting visibility from Angi's List, a startup launching its first product, or an enterprise modernizing legacy systems — we diagnose honestly, then build exactly what you need. No more, no less.

When we're done, you own everything — code, accounts, documentation, infrastructure. No subscriptions. No lock-in. No dependency on us or anyone else. We build your asset, and you control it — completely.

02
What We Do
Scope without
limits.
We operate across three layers — Foundation, Optimization, and Scale — so every engagement matches where you are and where you're headed. From a local business needing its first website to an enterprise modernizing legacy systems, your problem defines the solution. No job too small. No system too complex.
01
Web Design & Development
Custom Sites WordPress Shopify Landing Pages
From a simple landing page to a fully custom web application. We build fast, accessible, conversion-optimized sites on whatever platform makes sense for your business and your budget.
02
Custom Application Development
Web Apps Portals Dashboards Mobile
When off-the-shelf doesn't fit, we build from scratch. Enterprise-grade architecture, clean code, and systems designed to scale with your business — not against it.
03
Platform & CRM Management
GoHighLevel HubSpot Salesforce Automation
We configure, manage, and optimize the platforms your business runs on. Custom pipelines, automations, integrations, and client-facing portals built to your exact workflow.
04
Systems Integration & APIs
APIs Data Pipelines Legacy Systems Automation
Your tools should talk to each other. We connect platforms, migrate data, and build the integrations that eliminate manual work and give you a single source of truth.
05
Digital Strategy & Consulting
Tech Audits Roadmapping Vendor Selection
Before you spend money on technology, talk to us. We audit what you have, identify what's costing you, and map a clear path forward — no bias toward any particular vendor or platform.
06
Managed & Ongoing Support
Maintenance Hosting Monitoring Updates
Launch is day one, not the finish line. We offer ongoing management, monitoring, and support — so you can focus on running your business while we keep the technology running.
07
SEO & Digital Visibility
Local SEO Google Business Analytics Content Strategy
Stop paying monthly subscriptions to aggregator platforms for visibility that should be yours. We build your own SEO infrastructure, optimize your digital presence, and put you in control of how customers find you — no middlemen required.
08
MVP & Startup Infrastructure
Prototyping First Product Startup Stack Go-to-Market
Launching your first product shouldn't require an enterprise budget. We build lean, scalable MVPs with clean architecture from day one — so your foundation grows with your ambition, not against it.
09
Dashboard & Analytics Development
Data Visualization Real-Time Dashboards KPIs Reporting
Your data should work for you, not sit in spreadsheets. We build custom dashboards and analytics platforms that give you real-time visibility into the metrics that matter — actionable insights, not vanity numbers.
10
Legacy Modernization & Refactoring
Code Refactoring System Migration Technical Debt Architecture
Legacy systems don't need to be replaced wholesale. We modernize, refactor, and restructure existing codebases — preserving what works, fixing what doesn't, and building a bridge to modern architecture. Legacy code. Lifelong bonds.

Why Greater Lakehouse
I.

Technology Without Gatekeepers

Powerful infrastructure shouldn't require enterprise budgets. From local trades to growing startups to Fortune 500 — every business deserves systems that work. We democratize digital capability.

II.

Scope at Any Scale

A simple SEO setup for a local contractor deserves the same care as an enterprise modernization. We solve problems at any size — no job too small, no system too complex. Your problem defines the engagement.

III.

You Own Everything

Full code ownership. Full account access. Full documentation. No subscriptions. No lock-in. No dependency. We build your asset, and you control it — completely. Walk away empowered, any time.

IV.

One Point of Contact

No account managers reading from scripts. No handoffs between departments. You talk directly to the person building your product — every conversation, every decision. Real partnership, not a ticket queue.

V.

Built to Scale

Every solution is architected with growth in mind — modular, clean, future-proof. WordPress, Shopify, GoHighLevel, custom .NET, React — we recommend what fits, then build it so it scales with your business.

VI.

Midwest Backbone

Rooted in Michigan, inspired by the Great Lakes — we engineer modern, scalable systems with that same depth and resilience.

How It Works
01

Discovery Call

We listen more than we talk. Tell us where you are, where you want to be, and what's blocking you. No commitment, no pitch — just an honest conversation.

02

Diagnosis & Proposal

We map the problem, recommend the right tools, and deliver a clear scope, and timeline. We define exactly what "done" looks like, protecting your time and investment. No ambiguity. No scope creep hidden in the fine print.

03

Build & Iterate

You stay in the loop throughout. Regular updates, real visibility, and flexibility to refine as we go. Agile in practice, not just in name.

04

Launch & Stability

We go live together and don't disappear. Whether you need a simple check-in or a dedicated managed service plan, you'll get a partner who picks up when you call.
