Custom Software Development
Bespoke software that fits how your business actually works, not the other way round.
The Problem
Off-the-shelf software forces you to change your process to fit the tool: double entry, missing features, clunky workarounds. Every hour your team spends fighting software is an hour not spent on the job.
What I Do
I build software around how you actually work. From a simple internal tool to a full workflow system, the result is something your team uses because it makes their job easier, not because they have to.

How It Works
-
Discovery Workshop
We map your current process, pain points, and what success looks like, before writing a line of code.
-
Technical Specification
I write a clear spec and project plan: what we're building, how long it takes, and what it costs.
-
Build & Review Cycles
Development in short sprints with regular demos: you see progress and shape the direction throughout.
-
Testing & Training
User acceptance testing with your team, then a training session before handover.
-
Handover & Support
Full source code transfer and documentation. Ongoing support available if you need it.
Common Questions
When does custom software make sense?
When off-the-shelf forces you to work around it, not with it, or when no tool exists for your specific workflow.
How long does it take?
Simple automation: 4–8 weeks. Full system: 3–6 months. I'll give you a realistic timeline after discovery.
How much does it cost?
Depends on scope; tell me the pain point and budget first. I'll tell you honestly what's achievable.
Who owns the software?
You do, 100%. Source code and all documentation transfer to you on completion.
Will I need a technical person to manage it?
No, I build a simple admin interface and train your team to use it without coding knowledge.
Can it integrate with tools I already use?
Yes: Xero, Stripe, Mailchimp, Outlook, Google Workspace, and most platforms with an API.
What if my needs change after it's built?
Built for extension: new features can be added as you grow without rebuilding from scratch.
Do you build on any particular technology stack?
I match the stack to the requirement, typically Node.js or Python backends with React or plain HTML frontends. No unnecessary complexity.
Can you take over software someone else built?
Yes. I've taken over many codebases from other developers. I audit first and give you an honest picture of what I'm inheriting.

Investment
Custom software pricing flexes hugely with scope. Tell me what's slowing your team down and what budget you're working with; I'll come back with a realistic plan.
