Custom Software

Sometimes the thing you need doesn’t exist off the shelf: a booking tool, a staff dashboard, a tracker, a calculator, something that replaces a spreadsheet. It can run in a browser, or install on Windows or a Mac. Tell me what you want, and I’ll let you know if I can do it, then quote you from there.

  • By quote
  • From about $800
  • Written quote first

What’s included

Everything in Custom Software.

  • An honest first answer. If it’s outside what I can build well, I’ll say so rather than take the job.
  • A scope in writing. What it does, what it doesn’t, and when it should be ready.
  • A quote before any work. The number comes once I understand the job, never before, and it’s written down.
  • Built to run where you need it. In a browser on a phone or a laptop, or as a program for Windows or a Mac.
  • Previews along the way. You see it working before it’s finished, so changes happen early and cheaply.
  • Proof it’s the kind of thing I build. The team-card dashboard, the casino console and the four browser games on this site are all custom builds.

By quote only. Most jobs start from about $800, and some are much bigger. Describe it to me, and I’ll let you know if I can do it and quote you from there. Asking costs nothing.

Is it right for you?

Who it’s for.

A good fit if

  • You need a tool that doesn’t exist off the shelf
  • A spreadsheet, whiteboard or paper process is running your day
  • You can describe what it should do, even roughly

Look elsewhere if

  • A website would do the job: start with a Storefront
  • You need a finished product by next week

How it works

From hello to handed over.

  1. Tell me what you want

    In your own words: what it should do, who will use it, and what you do now instead.

  2. I tell you if I can do it

    An honest yes or no. If it’s a no, you’ll hear why.

  3. A written scope and quote

    What it does, what it doesn’t, the price and the date.

  4. Deposit, then the build

    Half to start, with previews along the way.

  5. Launch and handoff

    Checked with the people who will use it. The other half is due at launch.

Questions

The ones people ask.

Something else? Ask me directly.

Why isn’t there a set price?

Because custom software can be a few days of work or a few months. I’d rather give you a real number for your actual job than a range that means nothing.

What should I send you?

What it should do, who will use it, what you use now, and anything you’ve seen that comes close. Rough is fine; I’ll ask the rest.

Does it cost anything to ask?

No. Telling you whether I can do it, and what it would cost, is free.

What about keeping it running afterwards?

Ask about it when we scope the job. Any ongoing care is quoted alongside the build, never sprung on you later.
