About
Built by a real person, not a ticket queue.
Built by Buit is a small, founder-led app development studio that designs and builds AI-powered apps and custom software for businesses that want more than a template.
Meet the founder
Daniel Buitrago
He is the person who designs and builds your product, and the same person who answers your messages. No ticket queues, no offshore handoffs, no mystery.
The edge
Build it, and get it found
Most studios build your software and disappear. Here the same person who builds your app also understands how customers actually find you online.
For marketing, SEO, and ads, we partner with Radical Webs, so you get the product and the growth engine from one team.
How we work
Honest, measurable, built to last
No tricks, no shortcuts, no empty promises, just the work that moves the needle. Every build is tested, secure, and ready on day one.
And we do not vanish at launch. Hosting, monitoring, updates, and support keep it running.
From the founder
He wrote the book on getting found
Literally. How to Be #1: The Complete Guide to Getting Your Business Found Online is Daniel’s published guide, and the same playbook behind every product we ship. Build something great, then make sure the right people actually find it.

Why “Built by Buit”
It is our founder’s name. Buit, as in built. Your project gets built, by Buit. Simple as that.
What founder-led actually gets you
When a studio is small and founder-led, you talk to the person doing the work. That is not a slogan, it changes how a project feels. Decisions happen in one conversation instead of three, feedback lands with the person who can act on it, and there is no game of telephone between a salesperson, a project manager, and an offshore team you never meet. You know who is accountable, because it is the same person every time.
It also means the product and the plan for finding it are held by one mind. Built by Buit builds the AI-powered app or custom software, and the same eye that shapes the product understands how people will actually search for it and use it. That combination is rare, and it keeps the build grounded in whether real customers will show up, not just whether the code runs.
How the work stays honest
The promise here is simple: no tricks, no mystery, no vanishing at launch. Scope is agreed up front, progress is something you can see, and the reasons behind a decision are explained in plain language rather than hidden behind jargon. Every build is tested, secured, and supported after it goes live, so the finish line is a working product you can rely on, not a handoff that leaves you guessing.
That measured approach runs through the whole studio. The goal is software that lasts and keeps earning its place, which is why care continues after launch and why the first version is kept focused instead of overbuilt.
Where the name comes from
Built by Buit is a small joke and a plain fact at once. Buit is short for Buitrago, and the name says exactly what you get, work built by the person whose name is on it. There is no faceless agency behind the curtain and no team of strangers taking credit. It is one founder who designs, builds, and stands behind the result, everything you would hire an app development company for, without the layers.
If you have an idea worth making real, that is the whole point of this studio. You bring the problem, and you get a product built with actual attention. When you are ready, the next step is just a conversation about what you want to build.

Start a projectWho you’re actually working with
Built by Buit is Danny Buitrago, a South Florida developer who builds apps, AI tools, and custom software for local businesses. When you hire Built by Buit, that is who writes your code. Not a salesperson who disappears after the deposit, not an offshore team you never speak to. The same person who scopes your project builds it and answers the phone when you have a question.
Real things, actually shipped
This is a studio that ships in public. The most complete example is Impact Beauty, a full product built end to end: a mobile app with an AI beauty assistant and a face-scan feature, a customer storefront, a bilingual English and Spanish experience, a payments system, and an admin panel for the business to run it all. Front end, back end, AI, and the boring-but-critical parts like security and error handling. One studio, the whole stack.
On the Built by Buit YouTube channel, you can watch the actual work: build-in-public videos, practical guides on apps and AI, and a growing library of short explainers. It is a rare thing to be able to see how someone builds before you hire them. Here, you can.
Why “just one person” is a feature, not a risk
The worry with a solo studio is obvious: what if it is too small to handle real work? Fair question. Here is the honest other side of it. With a small studio there is no game of telephone between the person who understood your idea and the person who codes it, because they are the same person. Nothing gets lost in a handoff. Decisions happen in minutes, not in a week of internal meetings. And you are not paying for account managers, a sales floor, and three layers of overhead baked into every invoice. You are paying for the build.
For projects that genuinely need more hands, the work is scoped around trusted collaborators rather than a bloated retainer. You get the throughput without the agency tax.
How we work
- You own what matters. Your app, your data, your brand, and all your accounts are yours, with an exclusive, perpetual license to the software so you can use it forever. Full source-code ownership is available as a buyout and comes included with a full build. It is all written down in plain English before we start.
- Fixed, written scope. You know what is included and what it costs before work starts, so the price does not drift.
- You see progress early and often. No three-month black box. You watch it come together and steer as it does.
- Honest advice, even when it costs us the sale. If an off-the-shelf tool solves your problem, or a smaller first version is smarter, we will tell you, even when the bigger build would be the bigger invoice.
Local, and bilingual
Built by Buit is based in Plantation and works with businesses across Broward, Miami-Dade, and South Florida. Projects can be delivered in English or Spanish, which matters for the many local businesses whose customers, or whose own teams, work in both.
