One developer making software in the UK
LanceTek is one developer. The person on your first call writes the code, runs the servers and answers when something breaks. Fixed-price projects from £1,500.
How I work with a business
Small jobs, finished. I take a few projects at a time, so each one gets my full attention until it is handed over.
Plain English. Proposals, demos and the runbook are written for the owner, not for another developer.
Boring tools. I choose software that is well documented and will still be maintained in five years.
Your accounts. Hosting, code and domains sit in your name, so you never depend on me to reach them.
The software stack I build with. Open source where it can be, paid where it saves you money.

The homelab where software is tested first
Every tool I recommend runs on my own servers first. If an update breaks something, it breaks here, months before it reaches a client.
One host, many services. Each runs in its own container, backed up nightly and restored on a schedule to prove the backups work.
The same runbook. The homelab is documented the way your system will be.
