From a simple website to software built to fit

You tell me what you need, I tell you what can be done, what it costs and how long it takes. No jargon, and no surprises halfway through.

  • Fixed price before we start — you approve the quote and the deadline before the first line of code.
  • You talk to me directly — from the quote to the handover, no middleman and no support queue.
  • What gets built is yours — code, domain and accounts are in your name from day one.

SaaS

Your service, moved online. What lives in a spreadsheet, in a chat thread and on paper today becomes a system your customers use in their browser, each in an account of their own — and it charges the subscription on its own, every month.

  • Authentication and access levels per user
  • Subscriptions with automatic recurring billing
  • A management panel with the numbers of the business

Mobile app

Your product in your customer's pocket, with an icon on the home screen and a notification at the right moment. I publish it to Apple's and Google's stores and take care of the updates afterwards.

  • Android and iPhone from one codebase
  • Store submission handled by me
  • Notifications, and it works offline

AI development

Artificial intelligence doing the repetitive work: answering customers, filling in forms, sorting information and talking to the systems you already use. The human team keeps the human part.

  • Chatbots and automated support after hours
  • Integrations with APIs and with what you already run
  • Smart forms and process automation

Custom software

For when nothing off the shelf fits. A program built around the way you actually work, installed on the company's computers and still running when the internet drops.

  • Built for your process, not the other way round
  • Runs installed, with or without internet
  • Talks to printers, scanners and equipment
Included

What comes with every project

Putting a site online is not the whole job. These are the pieces that make it work for you.

Your business on the map

Your business listed and verified on Google Maps: address, opening hours, phone, a link to the site and reviews from people who already bought from you. It is what shows up when somebody searches for your name — or for “near me”.

Know who visits

How many people came in, where they came from, what they looked at and where they gave up. Numbers in plain language, so you decide where to spend based on data rather than on a hunch.

Good-looking on any screen

The same site adjusts to the phone, the tablet and the desktop. Since most visits arrive on a phone, that is where it has to be fastest and easiest — and it has to work for people navigating by keyboard or screen reader too.

Findable on Google

Titles, descriptions, readable addresses, a sitemap and structured data. All set up so search engines understand what you do and show your page to the people looking for it.

One tap to a conversation

A button that opens WhatsApp with the message already written, in the right place on every page. Fewer forms, more conversation on the channel your customer is already using.

Capturing contacts

Contact, quote or sign-up forms that land straight in your inbox, with protection against bots and spam. Every message is recorded — nothing gets lost in a crowded inbox.

A control panel

An area of your own to publish content, follow charts and pull reports. You change the text, the photos and the prices yourself, without depending on me for every tweak.

AI working for you

A chatbot that answers the same old questions, automated support at three in the morning, forms that fill themselves in and processes that run without anybody pushing them.

Protected, and by the book

An HTTPS certificate, a cookie notice with real consent, and data handled under the applicable privacy law. Automatic backups, so a bad day does not turn into a loss.

Live, and looked after

I publish it and set up the domain, the certificate and the backups. Then I stay on it: security updates, fixes, and whatever improvements we agree on.

Process

How your project moves, from the first hello to going live

No mystery and no technical terms. You always know which step we are on and what comes next.

  1. 1

    First conversation

    We talk about what you need, who it is for and what already exists today. No commitment, no jargon and no cost.

  2. 2

    Proposal and agreement

    I come back with what will be built, the deadline and a fixed price, in writing. Nothing starts before you approve it.

  3. 3optional

    Screen design

    On bigger projects I put together a clickable draft before writing code. Changing your mind here costs far less than changing it once it is built.

  4. 4

    Building, in parts you can see

    I build it in pieces and show you each one. You watch the project grow and adjust along the way, instead of getting everything at once at the end.

  5. 5

    Going live

    Your product goes up: domain, security certificate, search engines and app stores. From here it is running, and it is yours.

  6. 6optional

    Ongoing care

    After launch I handle updates, fixes and improvements — and, if you prefer, the content and the day-to-day of the panel too. By the month or on demand, your call.

Let us talk

No finished brief required, and no need for the right words. A rough idea and a couple of questions already make a good first conversation.
