Custom software

Off-the-shelf software makes you work its way. I build customer portals, internal ops tools and CRMs that work yours, then hand you the code.

Why bespoke

Why bespoke beats off-the-shelf

The same standard, applied to your CRM, dashboards and internal tools.

Fits your workflow exactly

Built around the way your business already works. No compromise features, and no bending your process to fit someone else's software.

No monthly SaaS bills

You own the software. No per-seat licensing. No features gated behind higher tiers. Your team grows without your software bill growing with it.

Built to grow with you

Add features as your business changes. You are not waiting on a vendor's roadmap, because the codebase is yours to extend, by me or by anyone else.

How I build software

Every build starts with diagnosis, not code. I spend the first day understanding how your business actually runs: which workflow is the bottleneck, what would solve it, and where to draw the line so the tool does not become its own problem. Now and then the honest answer is that a tidier spreadsheet and one good habit would do, and I will say so.

I build with the same engineering standards used by large software companies: proper testing, monitoring, deployment pipelines, and documentation. I build it to the same standard as an in-house team: tested, documented, and something another developer could take over without me.

And I do not disappear after launch. I stay to tune, add features, and respond when your business changes.

Recent work

A platform I built end to end

A live, custom web application. Open it and have a look.

How it starts

Start with a conversation. You decide after each step whether the next one is worth it.

Step 01

A free 30-minute call

Free

You tell me what's slowing the business down. I tell you what I'd do about it, and whether it needs building at all. It ends when the 30 minutes do.

Step 02

A discovery day

£495, credited back in full if you go ahead

A day working through your business with me. You get a written plan: what to build, what not to, and a fixed quote for it. If you go ahead, the £495 comes off the build.

Step 03

The build, on a fixed quote

From £1,485, at £495 a day

The price is fixed before I write a line of code. You see the work as it takes shape, and you own everything I write. If paying in one go is hard on cashflow, I can spread the cost over monthly payments.

And afterwards I'm still here. Most clients keep my number.
