Stacklumen is a software and web engineering company in Lexington, KY. Since 2022 we have
engineered websites and applications for clients, and we now build and operate the
platform that work is delivered on.
Engineering on one side, the platform on the other. The same engineers ship both, so the
platform is proven on client work before it reaches yours.
What we engineer. Websites and applications, handed over whole.
Client sites are built natively in Terminal. Applications are bespoke software with
authentication, data models and integrations. Either way you approve a written scope and a
fixed price before work starts, and you own the code, accounts and documentation at
handover. Enterprise builds run through our enterprise team while Terminal is in private alpha.
Both kinds of work Stacklumen does, in one window. Website: Terminal, the Stacklumen site builder, with Lumen
Dental's site on the canvas; a testimonials section is saved as a component named Quote band, placed on the About
page from the Components shelf, and its quote is edited once for every copy. Application: the handover of an
application, shown on the Members screen of the Stacklumen Hub in Lumen Dental's own workspace, where the client,
Dana Whitfield, is made an owner, after which the builder's own account, Riley Chen, the only owner until then,
steps down to admin. A short demo plays through both; the pause button stops it. The Website and Application tabs,
the page, the component's name and both roles also work by hand.

You work with the person building it. There is no account layer between you and the work.
Confidentiality
Your business information stays private, with an NDA whenever you want one.
Clarity
A written scope, a fixed price and regular updates, so nothing arrives as a surprise.
Responsiveness
A first reply within one business day, and decisions kept in writing.
Terminal and the Hub form the core of the Stacklumen platform; Stacklumen Base extends it with
components, templates, web tools, client portals and the designer, and StackIDE brings the
platform to the desktop. All four are in use today and in private alpha, with Terminal's
general release to follow.
Stacklumen is the third name for the same company. Client work and retainers carried
across each change.
Axom
2022
Started as a small web practice: the first client sites, the first design system and the first internal component library.
Stackent
2024–2025
Took on Shopify storefronts and custom React applications, and built the habits of production work: real components and complete handovers.
Stacklumen
Now
The same company under the name it keeps: the platform on one side, the engineering practice on the other.
Experience-first product design. How everything here is made.
Experience-first product design is a term named and defined by Stacklumen founder Iain Feeney. It holds that the experience of using a product is not packaging around its value. It is how the value arrives, how people come to understand it, and why they stay.
Every Stacklumen product invites the people using it into an experience that drives value,
creates happiness and helps them succeed, like the branded strategy wizard, where an agency
and its client build the client’s business together, live, one question at a time.
Read the essay.
We engineer systems that ship. Enterprise-grade tooling, sized for small teams.
We believe every business deserves infrastructure that works as hard as it does.
Stacklumen exists to engineer it: with precision, with rigour, and with outcomes measured
in production rather than promised in a deck.
The Stacklumen manifesto
Precision over speed
We would rather take an extra day and ship something excellent. Every detail matters, from spacing to database indexes.
Systems thinking
We build systems, not features: designed to scale and adapt without piling up technical debt.
Radical transparency
We communicate early, often and honestly, including when a plan needs to change.
Enterprise access for all
The tools large companies take for granted should be within reach of a twelve-person team.
Ownership mentality
We treat every project like our own product, and think about the long-term outcome rather than the ticket.
Continuous evolution
Shipping is the start, not the finish. We stay invested in what happens after launch.
