Loading page contentI am Robert Hattala. Random Llama Software is the company I use to ship custom platforms and tools when an off-the-shelf product would force the wrong workflow.
01 · Timeline
Before this I spent years in logistics and mapping software, where bad tooling costs real money. The name stuck after a long debug session: the code behaved about as predictably as a llama.

03 · Core principles
Most business software charges by the seat for screens you will never open. We build the part you actually use and leave the rest out. Fewer moving parts is also fewer things that can break on a Saturday.
Every line is written in Richmond, Texas. No offshore handoff, no overnight round trip on a one-line question. You talk to the person who wrote the thing you are asking about.
A site with nobody watching it breaks quietly, and you find out from a customer. We check every morning, patch on a policy rather than on impulse, and send you nothing at all on the days everything is fine.
Clean markup, page titles that describe the page, a sitemap that matches what is actually published. We will not promise you a ranking, because nobody honestly can. We will make sure nothing technical is holding you back.
A page that takes four seconds is a page people leave. We budget the weight before we build, ship images at the size they render, and keep the data-heavy screens usable on a phone with one bar.
Built to order, for one business, by the shop that will still be maintaining it next year. Nothing here is a template with your logo dropped into the corner.

The work index lives at /products. Need a live site watched and maintained? That is a separate month-to-month retainer. If neither fits, describe the workflow you want gone and we will scope it.
