Custom Software

Custom software and web application development

When off-the-shelf software doesn't fit, we build what does, from a small internal tool to a full web application.

You own it

Clean, documented code that belongs to you, with no lock-in.

05

Internal tools

Simple tools that replace fragile spreadsheets and manual workarounds.

A good fit if

  • No existing product does quite what you need
  • Your business runs on spreadsheets that keep breaking
  • You need a feature your WordPress site doesn't have
  • Getting a simple report takes hours of manual work

  • WordPress
  • JavaScript
  • Java
  • MySQL

How it works

From first call to finished, in four steps.

  1. 1

    Requirements

    We define what the software needs to do, who uses it and what success looks like.

  2. 2

    Prototype

    Screens or a first version early, so you can give feedback before the details.

  3. 3

    Build in stages

    Delivered in small, tested steps with regular demos.

  4. 4

    Launch and support

    We deploy it, train your team and keep it running.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Don't see your question? Ask us

When does custom software make sense?

When no existing product fits your process, or when you rely on spreadsheets and workarounds that keep breaking.

Do I own the code?

Yes. You own what we build for you, and it's documented so another developer could take over if ever needed.

Can you add features to my existing WordPress site?

Yes. Custom plugins add exactly the features you need without slowing the site down.

How do you price custom projects?

After a free call and a short planning step, you get a fixed price for a clearly defined scope.

Can a dashboard use our existing data?

Yes. Dashboards can pull from your website, CRM, spreadsheets, accounting software or database.
