About
We build software.
We keep it simple.
Semper Gratus Inc. is a software consulting firm focused on building custom tools for small and mid-size businesses that are tired of fitting their operation into someone else's product.
Our Story
Built out of frustration with the status quo
Semper Gratus was founded by Phillip Burt after years of watching small businesses struggle with software that was built for someone else: clunky, expensive platforms that required workarounds just to do basic things.
The problem wasn't that good software didn't exist. It was that building it had always required enterprise budgets and enterprise timelines. We set out to change that.
Today we work with business owners who know exactly what they need. They just need someone to build it properly.
Phillip Burt
Founder & Lead Developer
Phillip brings years of professional software development experience across enterprise and startup environments. He founded Semper Gratus to bring that same level of engineering quality to businesses of every size.
What we believe in
Clarity over complexity
We believe good software feels simple to use, even when the problem it solves is complicated.
Ownership matters
Your data belongs to you: always exportable, always accessible. We build and operate the systems, you own what goes into them.
Ship it, then support it
Most consultants ship and disappear. We measure success by whether what we built still works for you six months later, and we're reachable when it doesn't.
Honest scoping
We tell you what's realistic. If a project is going to take six months, we say six months.
