Software development

Software built around how your business works. Enquiry only: we talk it through with you before anything is agreed.

What it is

Custom software for your business: a customer or supplier portal, a CRM, forms that go straight into your records, and automation that replaces typing the same data into several places.

We build it, and we can connect it to the systems you already use.

Who it suits

A business or organisation that has outgrown spreadsheets and email, or that spends hours re-keying the same information.

How the work is usually shaped

  • A piece of software is a job of its own. We start from what it has to do and what it has to connect to, and agree that before anything is built.
  • If you are not yet sure what the right tool is, solution finding is the place to start.
  • The scope and the price are set out in a written engagement before the work starts.

How an enquiry works

Tell us what takes the time now, or what keeps going wrong, and what you use today. A few lines is enough: we ask the rest when we talk it through.

  1. Tell us what you need

    Your name, your organisation, one way to reach you and a few lines on what you want done. You can attach examples if they help.

  2. We talk it through

    We reply by phone or email, whichever you gave us, and talk through what you need before we say what we would do. Nothing is agreed or paid by sending an enquiry.

  3. You hear what it would cost

    What we would do and what it would cost comes before any work starts, and you decide whether to go ahead.

  4. If it is not for us, we say so

    Some things are better done by someone else. We will tell you straight, and point you to someone who can help where we can.

How an enquiry works, in full

What to have handy

  • The software and systems you use now
  • What you re-key, or what you would like to happen by itself
  • Who would use it: your staff, your customers or your suppliers
  • Examples, such as a form, a spreadsheet or a screenshot, if they help

None of it is essential. A few lines on what you need is enough.

Please do not put passwords or sign-in details in an enquiry.

The form asks what you need help with: say it is about software development, and add a few lines. Nothing is agreed or paid by sending it.
