Technology Partner SpotlightThe Technical Team
Behind Palm Build
Nine Lives Development isn't a vendor we hired. They're the engineering team embedded in our operations — serving as our CTO and building the technology that powers everything we do.
Code-First. Built to Scale.
No Shortcuts.
Nine Lives Development is a custom web development studio that builds websites, web applications, dashboards, automation systems, and technical infrastructure for businesses that have outgrown off-the-shelf solutions.
They don't use drag-and-drop builders. They don't reskin templates. Every line of code is written with purpose — engineered for performance, maintainability, and scale. Their stack is modern, their process is disciplined, and their commitment to quality is why we brought them into our leadership team rather than keeping them at arm's length as a contractor.
For Palm Build, Nine Lives Development isn't just the team that built our website. They are our technical department. Since 2019, the founder has held the CTO role in our organization — sitting in on operational decisions and ensuring that every piece of technology we deploy serves the business, not the other way around.

What Nine Lives Brings to the Table
Full-spectrum technical capabilities — from pixel-perfect frontends to backend infrastructure and everything in between.

Web Apps & Dashboards
Internal tools, client portals, and operational dashboards purpose-built for how your business actually runs.
Business Automation
End-to-end workflow automation — from lead intake and CRM integration to job dispatching and reporting.
Systems Integration
Connecting your existing tools into a unified tech stack. ERPs, accounting, scheduling, and communication — wired together.
Performance & SEO
Every build is engineered for speed, accessibility, and search visibility. Real metrics, not promises.
Ongoing Operations
Not a build-and-disappear shop. Continuous development, monitoring, and iteration as your business evolves.
What They've Built for Us
From our website to our internal systems, Nine Lives Development has architected and delivered the technical backbone of our operations.
palmbld.com — Rebuilt from the Ground Up
A complete redesign and rebuild of our public-facing website. Engineered for conversion, search performance, and speed. Every page is purpose-built for restoration industry keywords and our specific service areas across Florida and North Carolina.
Lead Intake & Dispatch Automation
When a form is submitted on our site, the system routes the lead instantly — CRM entry, team notifications, job classification, and follow-up scheduling all happen without anyone touching a keyboard.
Custom Operations Portal
A purpose-built web application for our internal operations — giving our team a centralized hub to manage jobs, track status, and stay coordinated without juggling disconnected tools.
Scalable Technical Foundation
From hosting and deployment pipelines to analytics and monitoring — the entire technical infrastructure is designed to grow with us. No duct tape. No workarounds. Production-grade from day one.
Why a Partner,
Not a Vendor
We tried the agency route. We tried freelancers. The pattern was always the same — a project gets delivered, the team moves on, and six months later you're starting from scratch with someone new who doesn't understand your business.
When we brought Nine Lives Development in, the relationship was different from day one. They didn't just ask what we wanted built — they asked how we operated, where we were going, and what was actually holding us back. That's CTO-level thinking, not contractor-level execution.
Today, they sit inside our decision-making process. When we expand to a new market, they're in the planning room. When we onboard a new tool, they handle the integration. When something breaks at 2 AM, they're already on it.

"We didn't need a web developer. We needed a technical leader who could see the full picture — someone who understood that our website, our automations, and our internal systems all had to work together. Nine Lives gave us that."
