Web apps and software
Simple software, built around how you work
If your business runs on notebooks, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups, a small custom tool can save hours every week. We build easy-to-use web apps that work on any phone or computer, and mobile apps on request.
What it could be
Everyday jobs a simple app can take over
Most of the software we build starts with a sentence like “we keep track of this in a spreadsheet”. Here are common examples.
Booking and scheduling
Appointments, classes, rentals or staff schedules in one shared calendar.
Billing and records
Invoices, payments received, customer records and simple reports.
Stock and orders
Track what you have, what’s ordered and what needs restocking.
Customer portals
A private login area where your customers see their bookings, documents or progress.
How it works
From your idea to a working app
You don’t need a technical plan. We work it out with you, in plain language, before anything is built.
Shape the idea
We talk through how the work happens today and what would make it easier.
- What the app needs to do
- Who will use it, and on which devices
- A clear written quote
Design the screens
You see how the app will look and work before it’s built.
- Simple, clear screens
- Feedback and changes
- Your approval before building
Build and launch
We build it step by step, so you can try it as it grows.
- A preview to test early
- Your existing data moved in
- A guide for you and your team
Mobile apps
Need an app on the App Store or Google Play?
Mobile apps are available on request. Often a web app that works well on phones does the job for less; if your idea really needs an app, we build it with Flutter, so one app runs on both Android and iPhone.
- One app, both phonesA single Flutter app for Android and iPhone keeps cost and upkeep down.
- Works with a weak signalApps can keep working offline and catch up when the connection returns, if you need it.
- Honest advice firstWe’ll tell you whether a mobile app or a web app is the better choice for your idea.
Example scenario
A small cleaning business run from a notebook and WhatsApp
The situation
Jobs, addresses and payments are written in a notebook and shared with staff over WhatsApp. Jobs get missed and it’s hard to see who has paid.
How we’d approach it
- Talk through how a job goes from booking to payment
- Design simple screens for the owner and for staff
- Build a web app with jobs, a calendar and payment status
- Move the existing customer list in and train the team
What you’d end up with
Everyone sees the day’s jobs on their phone, nothing gets lost, and the owner knows at a glance who still has to pay.
Questions
Web app and software questions
What’s the difference between a web app and a mobile app?
A web app opens in the browser on any phone or computer, with nothing to install. A mobile app is downloaded from an app store. Web apps are usually quicker and cheaper to build and update, which is why we often suggest starting with one.
Is my business too small for custom software?
Not necessarily. A small, focused tool that does one job well can save a lot of time. We’ll be honest if a ready-made app would suit you better.
Can you move our existing spreadsheets into the app?
Usually, yes. We import your current customer lists, products or records so you don’t start from zero.
What kind of software don’t you build?
We build focused tools for small businesses and individuals. Very large systems that need big teams or complex server infrastructure aren’t what we do, and we’ll say so up front.
