Custom systems
For teams that have outgrown their tools.
Some problems don't fit a package. Maybe it's the quoting process that lives in one person's head, the four tools that don't talk to each other, or the spreadsheet that has quietly become mission-critical. We build the system that replaces them, on a fixed spec like everything else we do.
What this looks like in practice
- Internal dashboards. The numbers that run the business, pulled automatically from where they live, on one screen.
- Automations. The weekly copy-paste ritual between your CRM, your inbox, and your spreadsheet, retired.
- Data systems. Years of records made searchable, reportable, and safe.
Fixed-price discipline, applied to custom work
Custom software has a reputation for runaway budgets because most of it is sold by the hour. We scope first. A short paid discovery produces a written spec with a fixed price and timeline, and that spec is yours to take to us or to anyone else. If the project changes mid-build, the spec changes in writing before the work does. It’s the same promise as our web design packages, applied to harder problems.
Building something your customers log into? That’s a web app. Same discipline, its own spec.
No risk in asking
Every project comes with the same promises.
-
Fixed price
The spec is the contract. The number never moves on its own, and you see it before the first email.
-
Revisions until it is right
We revise within the spec until you are happy. No round limits, no nickel and diming.
-
You own everything
Domain, code, content, and accounts, all in your name. Never locked into a platform you cannot leave.
-

What kinds of custom systems do you build?
Internal dashboards, automations between tools you already use, and data pipelines that turn scattered spreadsheets into answerable questions. If your team is doing something by hand every week, it is probably in scope. Products your customers log into, like portals and booking tools, fall under our web app service.
How is custom work priced?
The same way as everything else. We scope it with you, write a fixed spec with a fixed price, and hold to it. Custom projects typically start around $8,000. You will never get an hourly invoice you couldn’t predict.
We’ve outgrown our spreadsheets. Where do we start?
Send us the two or three spreadsheets that run your business and a sentence about what breaks. That is genuinely enough for a first conversation, and the first conversation is free.
Do you maintain what you build?
Yes. Ongoing support is available as a flat monthly arrangement scoped with the project. Everything we build is also documented and owned by you, so you are never locked in.
