Bespoke Software for
UK Small Businesses
Every business has one job that eats hours every week: the spreadsheet, the double-typing, the chasing. I build simple software that does that job for you, built around the way you already work.
The spreadsheet that runs your business
You know the one. Only one person really understands it, the same customer details get typed into three different places, and invoices happen on Sunday nights because there's no time during the week. Meanwhile you're paying monthly, per person, for tools that almost fit but never quite do.
None of it is broken enough to fix, so it never gets fixed. It just quietly costs you hours every single week, and those hours are the most expensive thing in your business.
What bespoke software for your small business does
Not flashy. Just the boring jobs, done automatically, every time.
Everything in one place
Customers, jobs, quotes, and invoices in a single system instead of scattered across spreadsheets, notebooks, and someone's memory. Type it once and it's everywhere it needs to be.
Hours back every week
Invoices that send themselves when a job is done. Reminders that chase late payers so you don't have to. The routine work happens without anyone touching it.
Fits how you already work
Built around your steps, your words, and your way of doing things. Nobody has to relearn their job to suit a piece of software.
No monthly fees per user
Off-the-shelf tools charge you per person, forever. This is yours: pay once for the build, add as many staff as you like, and keep using it for years.
Works wherever you do
In the office, in the van, or on site. Your team sees their jobs on their phones and updates them on the spot, so nothing waits until someone gets back to a desk.
Your data stays yours
Customer lists and job history live in your system, not locked inside someone else's product. If you ever want it out, it comes out, no ransom.
How it works
Show me the boring bit
A short chat where you walk me through the job that eats your time, in your own words. Bring the spreadsheet, the paper forms, whatever you use now. No technical questions.
I build it in stages
You see a working version early and try it on real work, so we can change things while changes are still cheap. You're never waiting months for a big reveal.
Your team starts using it
I set everything up, move your existing data across, and walk your team through it. Then I stay available afterwards, in plain English, for anything that comes up.
Fixed price, plain English, yours to keep
You get a fixed price before any work starts. Small tools start from around £2,000, and bigger systems are quoted individually, so you can weigh the one-off cost against years of monthly fees. I'm UK based, I explain everything in normal words, and when it's finished the software belongs to your business outright.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does bespoke software cost?
Small tools that handle one job, like quoting, scheduling, or invoicing, start from around £2,000. Larger systems with several users and moving parts are priced individually. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts, so you can compare it directly against years of subscription fees.
How long does it take to build?
A small tool takes a few weeks. A bigger system takes one to three months. It's built in stages, so you see working versions early and can change things while changes are still cheap. We agree the timeline before anything starts.
I'm not technical. Will I actually be able to use it?
Yes, and more easily than the software you're using now. It's built around the way you and your team already work, with your words and your steps. If you can use a spreadsheet or WhatsApp, you'll be fine.
What do I need to provide?
An hour or so of your time talking me through how the work flows now, plus copies of whatever you currently use: the spreadsheets, the paper forms, the whiteboard photos. That's genuinely it. No technical homework.
Who owns the software? What happens if you disappear?
You own it outright: the software, the code behind it, and every bit of your data. There's no monthly licence to keep using it. Everything is documented and handed over, so another developer could pick it up tomorrow if they ever needed to.

What's the job you'd love to never do again?
Tell me about it and I'll come back within 24 hours with an honest answer: whether software can fix it, what it would cost, and whether you'd be better off just buying something.
