A few examples.

These are the kinds of projects I take on most often. If yours is not on the list, tell me what the work looks like today and I will tell you whether I can build it.

  • Portals and accountsA place your customers or staff sign in to see their own jobs, files or orders.
  • Phone appsApps for Android and iPhone, for your customers or your crew, when a website in a browser is not enough.
  • Operations toolsDashboards, quoting and estimating, booking, reminders, and the steps a job moves through.
  • PaymentsPayment workflows and subscriptions, taken through Stripe.
  • Working with what you haveConnecting the systems you already use, or putting a better screen on top of them.

Pricing

Smaller projects, and larger ones.

Smaller projects

$1,000 to $5,000

Fits one tool that does one job. It starts with a free conversation, and I quote it before any work begins.

Typical range. Your price depends on what the tool has to do.

Larger builds

Quoted

Fits a portal, payments, or anything several people sign in to. It starts with a paid discovery session, so the quote is based on a written spec.

Paid in three stages: 40% to begin, 30% on delivery of the working build for review, 30% before launch and handover.

Discovery and scoping

$599

For larger builds. A 90 minute session, then a written spec within 5 business days: what it does, what it leaves out, how the pieces fit, what it costs and a rough timeline. The spec is yours either way. Go ahead with the build within 60 days and the $599 comes off your first payment.

Not sure you need software? Often a website does the job. Those run $649 to $2,499 and are live in days. See website pricing.

What you get

It's yours when it's done.

  • The codeThe code, the repository and the accounts transfer to you on the final payment, with documentation.
  • HostingIt runs on infrastructure you control. Ongoing support from me is optional.
  • The scheduleI don't give a timeline before I know what I'm building. The schedule comes with the quote.

Questions

Do you build phone apps?

Most projects are web apps that work in any browser, on a phone or a computer. Native iPhone and Android apps are quoted after discovery.

Is the discovery fee refundable?

Not once the spec is delivered. The spec is yours to keep and to build from, with me or with anyone else.

How do I start?

Email or call me and tell me what the work looks like today. For a smaller project I quote it from that conversation. For a larger one we book a discovery session first.
