Custom Business Applications

When spreadsheets, inboxes, and disconnected apps start getting in the way.

When requests get lost in email or work is hard to track, I build internal tools, dashboards, and client portals around a defined business process. You work directly with me to organize the work and give people the information they need.

Common projects

The useful question is usually, “What are we doing manually that should be easier?”

Client and employee portals

Give customers or team members a place to find their information and submit requests.

Scheduling systems

Organize appointments, staff schedules, or jobs and see what is planned.

Labor and business statistics

Track labor activity and business figures so the team can review them together.

Inventory tools

Keep track of stock, quantities, and inventory changes.

Request tracking

See what needs attention, who is handling it, and what happens next.

Dashboards and administrative tools

Manage business records and give the team a view of current activity.

Applications & automations

Understand the workflow before building the tool.

  1. Free conversation and scope discovery

    Tell me what you need. We explore the workflow and establish whether the project is a fit, without a discovery fee.

  2. Define the proposed work

    I work through the workflow, requirements, integrations, and technology choices with you, then define a written implementation scope. This defines the proposed work; development and prototypes are not part of free discovery.

  3. A fixed implementation quote

    Before paid implementation begins, I provide a written quote. Larger projects are divided into phases. New features and scope changes receive separate approval and pricing.

Care after launch

Website care

Website care is quoted individually, separately from the build. It covers hosting within agreed limits, routine maintenance, and a defined support allowance for bugs and questions. Your proposal establishes the specifics and any content or SEO work.

Application care

Ongoing care for applications and their integrations is quoted separately from implementation and website care. The proposal defines hosting limits, routine maintenance, and a support allowance for bugs and questions. New features and scope changes receive separate approval and pricing.

See internal business resources for If the Shoo Fits and Madison Faith Photo’s website, client portal, and administrative workflows. Need tools to share information? Workflow Automation & Integrations can accompany a build or be a separate project.

Have a messy process?

Show me how you handle it today.

Discovery helps us decide what to build and which existing tools it needs to connect to.
