Custom online tools for small businesses

Off-the-shelf software covers most of what a small business needs. The gap is usually one process that doesn't fit: a booking flow, a quoting tool, a client portal, or a spreadsheet that runs half the business.

We build small web applications to fill that gap. They run in a browser, work on phones, and replace the manual steps around them. The code and hosting are in your name when we hand over.

What we build

Client portals

A secure place for customers to log in, check job status, download documents, pay invoices or submit requests, instead of chasing it all by email.

Internal tools

Job tracking, rostering, stock, quoting or approvals. The process your team runs from a shared spreadsheet, rebuilt as a proper tool with logins and history.

Dashboards

One screen showing the numbers that matter today, pulled live from the systems you already use.

Booking and intake forms

Multi-step forms, bookings and intake flows that check the data as it's entered and send it where it needs to go.

Extending your existing software

Add-ons and integrations for platforms you already rely on, for when the vendor's own features stop short.

Small SaaS products

If a tool you use internally would help other businesses in your industry, we can build it so it's ready to sell as a subscription.

From first call to handover

01

Understand the problem

We look at how things work now and what actually needs fixing. Scoping done well saves you money.

02

Build in small pieces

You get a working version early, with the most important feature first. Real use decides what gets built next, so the budget goes on features people actually use.

03

Ship and hand over clean

Everything lives in your accounts, with plain-English documentation. You can walk away or keep us on, your call.

Common questions

Should I buy off-the-shelf software instead?

Often, yes. If a product does most of what you need at a fair monthly price, we'll tell you to buy it. Custom tools make sense when the process is specific to your business, or when per-user subscriptions across your team cost more than building it.

How much does a custom tool cost?

It depends on the number of screens, users and integrations. We scope first and quote before any build starts. Starting with a small first version keeps the upfront cost down.

Who hosts it, and what does that cost?

It runs on cloud hosting in your name. For most small business tools, hosting costs somewhere between a few dollars and a few tens of dollars a month.

Is my data secure?

We use established login providers, encrypt data in transit, limit access by role, and set up backups. We don't invent our own security.
