Services

Four ways we can help

Most clients start with one of these and stay for the care plan. Every engagement has a fixed scope and price up front, and everything we build is yours.

Custom software, built and maintained

Most small businesses run on a mix of spreadsheets, email and software that almost fits. We build the piece that should fit exactly, then stay on to keep it secure, up to date and changing as your business changes.

What’s included

  • Internal tools, dashboards and admin systems
  • Customer and partner portals
  • Workflow automation and integrations between the tools you already use
  • Monthly care: updates, security patches, small changes and a short monthly report

How it’s priced

  • Build in fixed-scope phases, each with a clear price before work starts
  • Care plan after launch, month to month

A good fit if

You have a process that eats hours every week, or software a previous vendor built that nobody is looking after.

Marketing websites

A site that loads quickly, reads well on a phone and ranks for what you do. No page builder lock-in and no surprise renewal fees.

What’s included

  • Design and build of a small business site
  • Search basics: page titles, descriptions, sitemap, structured data
  • Accessibility to WCAG AA
  • Contact form, analytics and domain setup

How it’s priced

  • Fixed-price package
  • Optional website care plan for updates and changes

A good fit if

Your current site is slow, hard to update, or embarrassing to send people to.

Build-or-buy assessment

Before you spend on software, get a clear comparison of your options: an off-the-shelf product, a custom build, or improving what you already have. If buying is the better choice, the report will say so.

What’s included

  • A look at your current process and the problem worth solving
  • How well the leading off-the-shelf products fit
  • A 5 to 10 year cost comparison of each option
  • A written recommendation you can act on with or without us

How it’s priced

  • Fixed fee, usually 2 to 3 weeks
  • The fee is credited toward the build if you go ahead with us

A good fit if

You're about to sign a software contract or start a build and want a second opinion first.

Software rescue

Maybe the developer who built it stopped answering. Maybe it was built quickly with AI tools and now every change breaks something. We find out what you have, fix what's risky, and get it into a state someone can maintain.

What’s included

  • An audit report: what's there, what's risky and what it costs to fix
  • Moving code, hosting and domains into your accounts if they aren't already
  • Stabilizing: tests, backups, updates and the most urgent fixes
  • Documentation so the next person is never stuck the way you are now

How it’s priced

  • Paid audit first
  • Fixed-price stabilization
  • Then a care plan, if you want one

A good fit if

You depend on software that nobody currently understands or is willing to touch.

Not sure which one fits?
