Custom Development
Most businesses end up bending their process to fit software written for someone else. We build the other way round — starting from what your people actually do, and handing over something they can use on day one.
Business systems, not apps. If a spreadsheet, a group chat and someone's memory are currently holding a process together, that is the shape of the problem we are good at.
A file that started as one person’s tracker and now runs a department — until two people open it at once. Inventory, scheduling, job costing, approvals.
Billing, collections and reconciliation for businesses whose invoicing lives in three places and agrees in none of them.
Dashboards and reporting built on your own numbers, so a question about last month takes a minute rather than an afternoon of exports.
Migrations off legacy software or a vendor you cannot reach, including getting your existing tools to talk to each other.
We would rather say this on a web page than six weeks into a project.
How an engagement runs
Three stages, and you can stop after the first one with something useful in hand.
Discovery
A short, fixed-price engagement on its own. We sit with the people who do the work, map the process as it really runs, and write it down. You leave with a written scope, wireframes and a fixed quote for the build.
Those documents are yours whether or not you build with us. If the answer turns out to be "buy something off the shelf", we will say so.
Build
We ship to a staging site you can open from the first fortnight, and every fortnight after. Your staff use it long before launch, which is when the awkward truths about a process surface.
The fixed quote from discovery holds. If scope changes, it changes because you asked, and you see the new number before we start.
Handover
Source code, database, deployment and documentation, in your accounts and your name. We train your staff on it the same way we do for the register — at your desk, not over a chatbot.
No lock-in clause and no proprietary runtime. You can hire anyone to carry it on, and we would rather you stayed because the work is good.
We price each build against its own scope rather than a rate card. Discovery is quoted as a fixed price once we understand roughly what you need, and it ends with a fixed quote for the build itself — so you approve a number before any of it starts, and that number does not move unless you change what you asked for.
We do not quote a build before discovery. Anyone who gives you a number for an unscoped project has either padded it heavily or is about to discover why they should have.
What we have built
We would rather show you two things we actually shipped than a wall of logos. Both of these are ours end to end, and you are on one of their websites now.
Point of sale and inventory
An offline-first register for a sporting-goods retailer. It keeps selling through brownouts and syncs when the line returns, tracks stock across branches, and closes the day without a spreadsheet.
School management
Enrollment, tuition payments, student records and report cards in one system, with a separate portal for administrators, staff and parents.
A paragraph is plenty. What the process is, who does it now, and what it costs you when it goes wrong.
