Custom software and web applications
Software that does exactly what your business needs, no more and no less. Built with proven technology, documented, and transferable.
Who it is for
- SMEs with a process that has ground to a halt in spreadsheets, email and scattered tools.
- Startups that want a first working version of their product without hiring a team straight away.
- Organisations that want to modernise an existing application or connect it to other systems.
What you get
- Working software
- A web application, internal tool, API or integration. Tested, deployed and in use. Not a prototype that still needs finishing.
- Source code and documentation
- The code is yours. With a README, installation guide and an explanation of the key decisions.
- A maintainable foundation
- Widely used, open technology instead of exotic frameworks. Another developer can take it over.
- Honest advice about not building
- If an existing product does it better or cheaper, I will say so. Custom software is not always the answer.
How it works
-
Explore
Together we define the problem and the minimum the software has to do. You receive a short note with scope, assumptions and a price for the design phase.
-
Design
Data model, screens and technical choices on paper. This is the moment to move things around: changing course is still cheap here.
-
Build in iterations
Every two weeks something that works and that you can try. You see progress and steer on real screens, not on promises.
-
Deliver and hand over
Deployment, documentation, walkthrough. After that, optional maintenance by the hour with a monthly summary.
Typical project shape
- Duration
- Four to twelve weeks, depending on scope
- Team
- One developer, direct contact, no account manager
- Technology
- Web standards and widely used open-source technology, matched to what you already have
- Communication
- One fixed weekly moment, otherwise asynchronous by email
- Pricing
- Fixed price per phase; maintenance by the hour
About pricing
I work with a fixed price per phase. After the exploratory conversation you receive a proposal with a price for the design; after the design, a price for the build. That way you know in advance what you are spending, and you can stop after any phase without argument.
Maintenance and small changes are billed by the hour, with a monthly summary of hours spent. No prepaid bundles, no minimum commitment.
An idea, or a process that is stuck?
Describe it in a few sentences. As a rule I will let you know within two working days whether and how I can help.
