You should not have to change how your business works to suit somebody else's software. Custom software is built the other way round: designed around the way you already work. Based in Dundee, working with businesses across Scotland and the United Kingdom.
From £1,885Starting price. Final cost depends on what the project needs.
Businesses whose process does not match any product on the market
Companies paying for three systems that each do part of the job
Operations held together by spreadsheets and habit
Businesses where one person is the only one who knows the system
Anyone rekeying the same information into two places
Companies whose growth is limited by their admin
What it solves
Off-the-shelf software that nearly fits, and the workarounds that follow
Paying per user per month, forever, for features you do not use
A process spread across a spreadsheet, an inbox and a paper diary
No reliable reporting, because the numbers live in four places
Knowledge that exists only in one person's head
Being told a change is not possible because the software will not allow it

Security considered from the start.
Every project includes appropriate security checks during development and before launch. Depending on what is being built, that can include secure connections, software and access configuration, protected forms, safe handling of any keys the project needs, backups, and testing before anything goes live. Where relevant, development practices take recognised guidance from organisations such as OWASP and the UK National Cyber Security Centre into consideration.
Standards and guidance this work follows
Not a certification claim. These are the published references the work is measured against, so the decisions are somebody else's tested thinking rather than only mine.
OWASP
The Open Worldwide Application Security Project. Its guidance on authentication, access control, input validation, session handling and safe error messages informs how anything with a login or a form is built.
Information Commissioner’s Office
UK data protection guidance. Shapes what a form asks for, how long information is kept, what a privacy notice says, and how cookies are handled.
National Cyber Security Centre
UK government guidance on small business security, account protection, device management and backups. Used as the reference point for what good practice looks like.
Following recognised guidance is not the same as holding an independent certification, and none is claimed here.
How it works
Understand the business
How the work actually flows, including the bits that only happen occasionally. This is where the value is created.
Scope and quote
A written specification of what gets built, and a fixed quotation.
Build in stages
Working software early, reviewed as it goes, so nothing is a surprise at the end.
Launch and support
Data brought across, staff trained, and support while it beds in.
Pricing

Testing, migration and handover
What moves the price: how many areas of the business it covers, how many types of user, how much reporting and document generation is required, integrations with other systems, and how much existing data has to be migrated.
Prices shown are starting prices. Final pricing depends on project requirements, functionality, complexity, integrations and third-party services. A clear quotation is provided before work begins.
Common questions
How much does custom software cost?
From £1,885. It is genuinely scope-driven, so the honest answer comes after a conversation rather than before one. You get a fixed written quotation before any work begins.
Can custom software replace spreadsheets?
Yes, and that is the most common reason people ask. Not every spreadsheet problem needs a full system though: sometimes business automation solves it for a fraction of the cost.
Can you build software around our existing process?
That is the point of it. I will also flag anywhere the current process is causing the problem rather than solving it, but the decision is yours.
What if the business changes later?
It can be changed. That is a real advantage over a product, where you wait for a vendor to decide your request matters.
