Custom development

Websites and applications built for your business

Not a template. A site or app designed around how you actually work, built by hand, and owned by you. Tell us what you need and we will send a plan and an estimate.

Code from a custom application: saving a booking and texting the customer

Two kinds of work

Custom websites

A fast, good-looking site that brings customers in: your services, your hours, booking or quote forms, a gallery, reviews and a store if you sell online. Built to rank on Google and to be read on a phone.

  • Designed around your business, not a theme
  • Phone-first, fast, and search engine ready
  • Booking, quote and contact forms that reach you
  • You can update text and pictures yourself

Custom applications

Software that does a job your business needs done: booking systems, job tracking, inventory, customer portals, dashboards, or a tool that replaces a spreadsheet that got out of hand. Web apps and apps for phones and tablets.

  • Accounts, roles and permissions for your staff
  • Reports, printing, notifications and payments
  • Connects to the software you already use
  • Runs on your own hosting or ours

How a project goes

  1. 1

    Listen

    We start with a conversation about your business: what you sell, who your customers are, what is slowing you down, and what a win looks like. You get a written plan and an estimate before any work begins.

  2. 2

    Design

    You see the pages or screens as pictures first, on a phone and on a desktop. We change them until they are right. Nothing is built until you have signed off on how it looks and works.

  3. 3

    Build

    We write the site or application by hand, page by page and feature by feature. You get a private link to watch it come together and try each piece as it lands.

  4. 4

    Test

    Every form, button and screen is tried on real phones, tablets and computers, by us and then by you. Speed, search engine readiness and security are checked before launch.

  5. 5

    Launch

    We put it live on your domain, set up the search engine listing, and hand over the keys with plain-English instructions. We stay on call for the first weeks.

  6. 6

    Look after it

    Websites and apps need small updates as your business changes. We offer care plans for updates, backups and improvements, or you can call us when you need us.

What the work looks like

You never have to read a line of it, but this is what you are paying for: clean code written for your business, not a page builder's leftovers.

index.html
HTML and CSS for a page header and hero that adjust to phone screens
The page Plain HTML and CSS, laid out so it reads well on a phone, a tablet and a desktop.
api.php
PHP code that saves a booking, texts the customer and logs it
The logic The part that saves a booking, texts the customer and keeps a log, written so it can be read and changed later.
schema.sql + app.js
A database table for bookings and the script that refreshes the screen
The data A proper database so nothing gets lost, and screens that update themselves as things change.

Custom development questions

How much does a custom website cost?

It depends on the number of pages and what they need to do. A simple business site with a handful of pages costs less than a site with online booking or a store. Fill in the inquiry and you get a written estimate with no obligation.

How long does it take?

A business website usually takes two to six weeks from the first conversation to launch. Applications vary more, from a few weeks for a focused tool to several months for a full system. Your plan comes with a timeline.

Will I be able to update it myself?

Yes. Websites are built so you can change text, pictures and hours yourself, and we show you how. Applications come with an admin area for the settings you need to control.

Will it work on phones?

Every site and app we build is designed for phones first, then tablets and computers.

Will people find it on Google?

Every page is built with search engines in mind: proper titles and descriptions, fast loading, a site map, and structured data that Google understands. We also set up your Google Business listing if you do not have one.

Who owns the site or app?

You do. You get the files, the domain stays in your name, and you can take it to another developer at any time.

Do you host it?

We can host and look after it for a monthly fee, or set it up on hosting you already have. Either way it runs on your own domain name.

What do you build with?

Websites are built with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, often on top of PHP and MySQL so they can take bookings, forms and payments. Applications use the same proven tools, which run on any web host and need no special licences.
