Custom software
When off-the-shelf tools nearly fit, but the gap costs you hours every week.
Who it is for
Businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets, or pay for several tools that do not talk to each other.
What it includes
- Web apps and mobile apps built for how your team works
- Customer portals, booking systems and internal tools
- Links to the services you already use, such as Stripe, email and accounting tools
- Secure logins, with permissions for each role
- Backups, monitoring and updates under a monthly care plan
What it does not include
- Building what you can already buy cheaply. If an existing product fits, we will say so
- Open-ended work with no agreed scope
How it works
Tell us what slows you down
A short call or a message is enough. We ask how the work happens today and what keeps going wrong.
Agree a written scope
We write down what it will do, what it will not do, and one agreed price, before any work starts.
Try it in a private preview
You get a private link to click through, with your own wording and rules. You tell us what to change before anything goes live.
Go live
We launch it, show your team how it works and keep it running under a monthly care plan.
Questions we get asked
Should we build or buy?
Buy if a product fits most of your needs. Build when the gap is costing you real time or money, or the way you work is what sets you apart. Our article on this goes through how to decide.
What technology do you use?
Proven tools such as React, TypeScript, Python, FastAPI, Laravel, Flutter and PostgreSQL, chosen for the job rather than for fashion.
Who owns the software?
It is set out in writing before we start, so there are no surprises later.
