Two ways in
GatorByte runs two tracks: fast, affordable websites for local Northshore businesses, and custom software for teams that have outgrown off-the-shelf tools.
A fast, modern website for your Northshore business — $1,000 to launch plus $100/mo for hosting, maintenance, and updates. Built to turn local searches into phone calls.
Full-stack product work for operators nationwide — dashboards, multi-tenant SaaS, and HIPAA-aware healthcare software. We build and operate our own products, too.

Common questions
GatorByte builds custom websites, admin panels with inventory and reservation management, internal tools, and SaaS platforms, and handles branding, logo and uniform design, social media ads, PR, and SEO and GEO. We also design and operate our own SaaS products (AuditGrid, Oblidex, TraceLock, FloraTrax.ai, Dysplyn).
GatorByte has a Mandeville office, serving Covington and the Northshore: 21385 Marion Ln, Suite A, Mandeville, LA 70471, open Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, by appointment. We do local web design across the Northshore and Southeast Louisiana (Mandeville, Covington, Madisonville, Abita Springs, Slidell, and New Orleans), plus remote software engagements throughout the United States.
Yes. Local web design is one of our two tracks. A launch-ready site for a Northshore business is $1,000 to build plus $100/month for managed hosting, maintenance, and small updates, with photography, logo, and marketing add-ons available.
Yes. AuditGrid, our healthcare audit automation platform, is built to HIPAA-aligned practices (PHI encryption, audit logging, role-scoped access, and a written incident response plan), and BAAs are executed as healthcare customers onboard. We bring that same posture to client engagements.
Launch-ready marketing sites typically go live in 1–2 weeks once direction and content are confirmed. Larger product or SaaS engagements follow an iterative multi-month cadence.
React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Netlify for deployment, and FHIR integrations for healthcare.
