Software built for you at a fixed price

Three services for small UK businesses. Each project starts with a written proposal and one fixed price, so you know the cost before any code is written. Projects from £1,500.

Custom software for one business

A booking system, a quoting tool or a customer portal, written for the way your business already runs.

What you get. A web app your staff and customers sign in to, its source code and a written runbook.

Typical shape. Four to ten weeks, a demo every Friday, then a two-week settling-in period.

AI automation for routine admin

An agent takes one repetitive job, such as filing invoices or answering booking emails, and hands you anything that needs a decision.

What you get. One working automation with an approval step, a log of every action and a switch to turn it off.

Typical shape. Two to four weeks, starting with a week of the agent drafting while you check.

Self-hosted servers you control

Your software and data on hardware in your office or a UK server in your name, set up so updates and backups run themselves.

What you get. Docker, nightly backups with restore tests, monitoring, remote access and a runbook.

Typical shape. One to two weeks to set up, then optional monthly care.

Questions

The ones owners ask before the first call.

Ask your own question

Blue and grey network cables plugged into two switches

Do I own the software and its code?

Yes. It lives in a repository in your name from the first week, with every password you need.

What happens to my software if you are ill?

The runbook and handover notes are written so another developer can run and change the system without me.

Can automation work with software we already use?

Usually. If it has an export, an email address or an API, an automation can read from it.

Can we start with one small automation?

Yes. Many projects start with one automation or one screen, priced on its own, and grow from there.

Is AI automation safe with customer data?

Agents get only the access they need, log every action and send nothing without approval. A model can run on your own server.
