Websites and systems built for your business

Professional websites, business systems, and practical AI workflows that save you time and win you customers. All explained in plain English, with no jargon or agency runaround.

Software should fit your business. Not the other way around.

Subscription software comes with bloat, constraints, and workarounds. Building your own has never been more affordable, and it pays back in work that runs itself and customers who find you. All it takes is a good developer who understands business.

Fits how you work
Automates the busywork
Brings in customers

Here's an example.

Take the AI order intake demo and put numbers on it. A small wholesaler, a three-person order desk, and the purchase orders that arrive by email every day.

  1. Step 1: Today

    60

    emailed orders a day

    3 people on the order desk, about 20 orders each

  2. Step 2: Typed by hand

    6 h

    a day, retyping emails into orders

    About 6 minutes each: read the email, find the customer and products, key in the lines

  3. Step 3: With AI intake

    1.5 h

    a day, checking and approving

    AI reads each email and stages the order; a person checks and approves it in about 90 seconds

  4. Step 4: Given back

    4.5 h

    a day, back to the business

    About 1,100 hours a year, or $34,000 at $30 an hour

A workflow like this costs about $4,000 to build and around $30 a month to run. It pays for itself in about 7 weeks, then keeps giving back roughly $34,000 a year, every year, in time the order desk spends on customers instead of retyping.

An illustration, not a quote. Your numbers depend on your volumes and wages; the free consultation works them out for your business.

Services

What we build

Three ways we help your business: websites that help customers find and contact you, systems that keep things running behind the scenes, and AI workflows that take on repetitive work.

Everything we build is custom-coded for your business, never a template.

Nothing beats trying it yourself.

Forest City Supply Co. is a fictional London wholesaler running on a real system we built: orders, inventory, invoicing, and live reports. Sign in and click anything. This is what custom software feels like when it is shaped around how a business actually runs, and just what it needs.

AI order intake demo

Email in an order. AI does the typing.

Send the demo a purchase order by email: a PDF, a spreadsheet, or a few plain lines. AI reads it, matches it to the catalog, and stages a draft order for your approval. This demo works with live emails sent from your own inbox.

The reading is done by Claude, the AI model made by Anthropic.

Process

How we build it

A clear, collaborative process, from your first message to full handover.

  1. Step 1: One short conversation

    One quick chat about your goal is all it takes; no workshops, no endless meetings. Within a few days you have a fixed quote with milestones and a simple agreement. The chat and the proposal are free, and nothing starts until you approve the plan.

  2. Step 2: Your accounts, your name

    Before anything is built, your domain, hosting, and other accounts are set up in your business's name, and I build inside them. Everything is yours from day one, with nothing to transfer later.

  3. Step 3: Build with check-ins

    I build in stages, with reviews at agreed milestones, so there are no surprises. You follow along in your own project dashboard: every milestone, every update, as it happens.

  4. Step 4: Review and refine

    You review the completed build, and I make any final refinements before launch.

  5. Step 5: Train and launch

    If you'd like, I train your team, and then we go live together.

  6. Step 6: Hand over and stay available

    I hand you full ownership of everything we build: your code, your systems, and your accounts. After handover, I stay available if you need any changes or new work later.

Questions

Questions people ask

The things worth knowing before you get in touch. If your question is not here, click here to send me a quick message.

I don't really know what I need. Is that a problem?

Not at all, and it is the most common way projects start. You tell me what is slow, frustrating, or eating your time, and I will suggest what would actually help. Sometimes that is a website, sometimes it is a small system, and sometimes the honest answer is that you do not need to build anything yet.

How much is this going to cost?

Nothing, until you decide to build. The consultation and the solution proposal are always free: if I can't find you a real way to save time or money, you shouldn't pay a cent.

When you do build, you get a fixed quote before any work begins, broken into milestones so you can see what you are paying for and when. Nothing starts until you approve that quote.

Payment follows the work, for each module we build: 40% to start, 40% at the mid-point review, and 20% when it goes live. No hourly billing that creeps, and no surprise invoice at the end.

These are founding rates while I build the OurModule portfolio. They rise for new projects after the first ten. Anyone who starts at founding rates keeps them for any module started in the following twelve months.

How long does a project take?

It depends on what we are building. A straightforward website usually takes two to four weeks. A business system with things like inventory, invoicing, and reporting takes longer, one to two months, because there is more to get right.

An AI workflow, like the order intake demo, usually lands in between at two to five weeks, because it plugs into the tools you already use.

Either way, your quote includes a milestone schedule, so you see the dates before you agree to anything.

Do I actually own what you build?

Yes, completely. Your code, your systems, and your accounts, all in your name. If you ever want to bring in someone else, everything goes with you. There is nothing to unlock, transfer, or buy back.

Do I have to pay you every month?

There is no required monthly retainer. What every website or system does have is small running costs, like your domain name and hosting, and those are paid directly to those providers in your own accounts, so you can see exactly what they cost.

Each service page lists what those typically come to, alongside the build cost: websites, business systems, and AI workflows.

If you would like me available for ongoing changes, we can arrange that. It is never a condition of working together.

What if I want changes after we launch?

Get in touch and we will sort it out. I stay available after handover, whether that is a small tweak, a new feature, or a whole new project. Anything substantial gets its own fixed quote first, so you always know the cost before I start.

What if something breaks?

Tell me and I will look at it. If it turns out to be a fault in something I built, I fix it, and that is not billable work.

Do I need to understand the technical side?

No. We talk about your business in plain English: what you want to happen, what is slowing you down, and what a good outcome looks like. I handle the technical decisions, and where one genuinely affects you, I explain it in normal words so you can make the call.

Can you work with the website or system I already have?

Often, yes. Sometimes the right move is improving what you already have, and sometimes it is faster and cheaper to rebuild. I will tell you honestly which one I think applies to your situation.

Where are you based? Do we need to meet in person?

I am in London, Ontario, and I work with businesses here and across North America. Most projects run comfortably over email and video calls. If you are local and would rather sit down together, that is easy to arrange.
