Something new, built around how you work.
Websites, portals, CRMs and apps, shaped around your work and handed over so they're yours.
Sound familiar?
- “I cannot see my numbers clearly.”
- “Our records are scattered.”
- “We need an app or MVP.”
- “We're launching and need a proper website.”

Questions, answered
How much does a website or custom software cost?
It depends on what it has to do, so every project is quoted after a free first conversation. My guides give honest ballpark ranges for websites, CRMs, booking systems and custom software.
Read the cost guidesShould I build custom software or buy something off the shelf?
Buy when a ready-made tool fits. Build when you're losing real hours working around it. I'll tell you honestly which, even when the answer is not to build.
Build or buy: the guideDo I own what you build?
Yes. Every project is documented and handed over outright, so it's yours to keep, with no lock-in.
Do I need a technical specification first?
No. Describe what it has to do and who will use it, and I'll come back with a clear way forward.
How do I know if we've outgrown off-the-shelf software?
When the tool does most of what you need and the rest is a daily tax of workarounds, exports and copy-paste: overlapping subscriptions, or a secret spreadsheet kept on the side to make the system usable.
Build or buy: the guideCan you set up a ready-made tool instead of building one?
Yes. If the right answer is an existing, often free, tool, I'll help you set it up and tell you so. Often the best answer is to buy a tool and automate the one bit it misses.
What happens after you hand it over?
It's yours, documented, so you can keep it, take it elsewhere, or keep me on to grow it. Your call.
Do you build software for charities?
Yes. Charities, community groups and social enterprises pay cost, plus a small margin, and the first conversation is free.

No specification needed: describe what it has to do, and I'll come back with a clear way forward.
