Custom Internal Tool
Paying monthly for software that half fits. Own one that fits exactly.
A quote calculator, a stock tracker, a job board, a client dashboard: built for how your business actually works, in days rather than months, because AI does the heavy lifting and I do the thinking. Yours to keep, with no per-seat fees.

When it’s done
Software that does exactly your job and nothing else, the code and hosting in your name, and the subscription you were paying for cancelled.
Questions
Who owns the code?
You do, outright, once paid. It's hosted on accounts in your name, so you're never tied to me.
What does it cost to run?
Usually nothing to a few pounds a month for hosting at small-business scale. You'll have the estimate in the spec.
What if we need changes later?
Small changes are quoted as you need them, or any developer can pick it up: it's built on standard, well-documented tools.
