Custom apps

An app built around how you already work.

Small web apps for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets and email. Scoping first, then a fixed price.

What it could be

  • A booking or quoting tool that matches how you price
  • A client portal for files, orders or progress
  • An internal dashboard that replaces a spreadsheet
  • Taking payments or deposits inside the app
  • Connecting the systems you already use

How it works

You deal directly with the person building it, by email, phone or in person. You own the code and the data, and your passwords and customer data never go into AI tools.
  1. Scoping: $180

    A session working out what the app must do, its screens and its data, by phone, in person or by email. You get a written plan and a fixed quote. If you go ahead, the $180 comes off the price.

  2. Build: from $2,200

    A small app has sign-in, a database, an admin area and about 4 main screens. Bigger apps are priced from the same building blocks, so you see what each part costs.

  3. Preview and launch

    You test it on a private preview, with two rounds of changes. It's 50% to start and 50% before launch. Turnaround is usually 4–6 weeks.

  4. Afterwards: $90 a month

    The App Care Plan covers security updates, backups, monitoring and small edits. App hosting and database are charged at cost. Update and Growth Plans add more hours.
