Custom web development

A website that does something, for your customers or for you.

Every package is a website built by hand. Custom development makes it do work too: a tool your customers use, or an admin area you use. I build these around how your business actually works, rather than dropping in an off-the-shelf plug-in.

The plain websites, one page or five, are on the website development page.

A tool your customers use

Instead of an inquiry that says “please call me”, someone can get a price for their job, pick a service and book a time, or answer a few questions so you already know what they need before you ring them back. That is Growth: five pages, plus one tool built around how you quote or take bookings.

Typical choices for the one tool

  • A quote calculator — they pick options and see a price
  • A booking form — they pick a service and a time
  • A multi-step inquiry that asks the right questions first
  • A service selector that narrows down what they need

Quoted separately

  • Two of the above rather than one
  • Anything that takes payment
  • Connecting to software you already use
  • Anywhere your customers log in

An admin area you use

A private area you log into. You edit your own pages and update your services and prices without emailing me for a text change, and inquiries are emailed to you as they arrive. That is Business: five pages, plus the area you run them from.

What you can do in it

  • Edit your page text and images
  • Add, change and remove your services and prices
  • One secure login for you
  • Inquiries emailed to you as they arrive

Quoted separately

  • Inquiry history stored and searchable in your admin area
  • Logins for your customers
  • Dashboards, charts and reports
  • A customer-facing tool such as a quote calculator

Customer logins, staff accounts and roles, stored business records, scheduling or document handling make it a custom application rather than a website. That is a separate piece of work, scoped from a written specification.

Bookings, on your own website

For tour, charter and rental operators: take bookings on your own website, with no fee added to your customers' checkout and no cut of any booking.

What a tool needs behind it

Anything the site has to remember over time, such as bookings or orders, also needs Managed Database Infrastructure on top. It is a monthly line, priced on the pricing page. Each package page says when it applies.

To see these running rather than described, the live demos are working examples.
