What's getting in the way?

Choose the one that sounds most like you. We build custom software, connect the systems you already run, and design websites. Here's which fits, and what it involves.

Custom Software

Software shaped around your business, not the other way around.

Off-the-shelf tools are built for everyone, so they fit no one exactly. When your quoting, pricing, scheduling, or inventory runs on a spreadsheet only one person understands, we replace it with a system built for the way your team already works.

Quoting and pricing tools that protect your margins automatically
Inventory, ordering, and job tracking in one place
Internal dashboards that answer “how are we doing?” without a spreadsheet
Customer or vendor portals your team would otherwise build by email

Included

Your existing data moved over — spreadsheets, old systems, all of it · Hands-on training for your team · Written guides for the people who use it · Technical documentation for any future developer · A handoff plan, so another developer can take over

How it's priced

Scoped with you and quoted as one fixed project fee before any work begins. Priced on what the software is worth to your business, not on hours.

Integrations & Automation

Connect the tools you already pay for.

Most businesses don't need new software. They need the software they have to stop working in isolation. We wire your systems together so a new lead, a paid invoice, or a booked job moves where it needs to go on its own, without someone re-typing it.

Website forms flowing straight into your CRM
Payments reconciled into your accounting automatically
Follow-ups, reminders, and reports that send themselves
Practical AI for drafting, data entry, summarizing, and triage

Included

Setup and testing against your real accounts · Documentation of every connection, and what to do if one breaks · A walkthrough for the people who rely on it

How it's priced

Billed hourly for implementation, documentation, and training, against an estimate agreed before work begins.

Websites

A website that works as hard as you do.

Your website is often the first conversation a customer has with you. We design and build fast, custom sites that explain what you do clearly, look the part, and turn visitors into calls. Then we host and look after them, so your team can focus on running the business.

AI assistants and chatbots trained on your own documents
Booking, lookups, and requests routed automatically
Professional photography and videography, shot on site
Light branding: a refined logo, palette, and type
Copywriting that sounds like you and reads clearly
A simple editor, so your team can change pages themselves

Included

Custom design, built for search engines and phones · Hosting, monitoring, and small updates handled for you

How it's priced

Every site is built from the capabilities it needs, scoped with you, and quoted as one project fee. Hosting and care are billed monthly.

Systems Modernization Audit

Then don't buy anything yet.

When you can feel the problem but can't name it, start with the audit. We agree on the systems to review before you sign, work hands-on in them, sit down with the people who use them, and deliver a written plan: what to keep, what to replace, and what to rebuild.

How the audit works

Things we've built

A lightweight ERP for a coffee company

The problem: Hundreds of products — drinks, pastries, bags of beans, gift baskets — many built from complex, multi-layered recipes, and no organized way to set margins across them. Pricing lived in spreadsheets that took days to update, so when milk or beans went up, prices lagged behind and nobody could say what was actually profitable.
What we built: A web app that breaks every recipe down to its ingredients and prices each item live from what goes into it. When a cost changes, everything that uses it reprices on the spot, with margins held where they set them. Profit and loss is reported live, down to each event, straight from the register export — and the system keeps growing as they add new products and reports.

Gift basket: beans, mug & cookies	$32.69

A vanilla latte is the latte base plus syrup, and the gift basket holds a bag of beans, so a price change reaches everything that uses it.

A recipe and menu system for a cocktail caterer

The problem: More than a hundred recipes, constantly shifting, with new ones arriving every season. Every recipe and menu was entered by hand, menus only existed as printouts, and there was no version history, no live editing, and no easy way to price a drink.
What we built: A web app that keeps every recipe in one place with live costing, so each drink is priced from its ingredients. Menus are built from the recipe library, versioned, and published online behind a password — edit once and every menu updates. At events, bartenders track orders as they come in — who ordered what, with any special requests — while the system records sales and peak times for each event. An 86'd list pulls a drink the moment an ingredient runs out.

Built for your team to take forward.

Every build ends with a handoff, not a dependency. Here's what you're left holding.

Your existing data moved over — spreadsheets, old systems, all of it
Hands-on training for your team
Written guides for the people who use it
Technical documentation for any future developer
A handoff plan, so another developer can take over

Keeping it running

Software needs looking after — servers, databases, security updates, the occasional bug. For anything we host, one monthly fee covers all of it, to keep the system maintained and help your team resolve issues.

Questions

Why not just buy off-the-shelf software?: Often you should, and we'll tell you when. Off-the-shelf tools serve a broad market, so they rarely fit the specifics of how you work, and if a vendor changes course or shuts down, your business goes with it. Custom software makes sense when your process is what sets you apart, or when you've outgrown every tool you've tried.
I'm not sure whether I need custom software, an integration, or neither.: That's what the consultation is for. If the answer isn't obvious, the Systems Modernization Audit exists for exactly this. We agree on the systems to review, deliverables, and delivery schedule before you sign, then give you specific recommendations: fix what you have, buy the right tool, or build something new.
How is the work priced?: On the value it returns to the business, not on hours. Every project is scoped and quoted before it begins, and we only propose work we expect to pay for itself.
Are there monthly costs after the build?: Running software costs money: servers, databases, third-party services, AI usage. If we host it, one monthly fee covers those costs plus monitoring, security updates, and bug fixes. New features are quoted separately.
What if you go out of business?: Everything we build is documented for users and for developers, with a handoff plan, so any competent developer can pick it up. We also work with developers we trust to take over ongoing care if we ever can't.
Do you help us move over to the new system?: Yes. We move your existing data, however messy, and train your team on the new system. You shouldn't have to do the migration yourself.
Can you train new hires later on?: Yes. Training is available on its own whenever your team changes. Reach out and we'll figure out what makes sense.
