Web apps & custom software
Web apps and custom software, built properly.
Sometimes a business needs more than a website. When you need real software, portals, dashboards, booking systems, marketplaces, you need someone who can actually build it, run it, and keep the money and data safe. That is what I do.
Preston and Lancashire. Quoted per project, with a fixed number agreed before any work starts.
More than a website
When a business needs software, not just pages.
A website tells people about you. An app does something for them. If any of these sound like what you are missing, it is a build, not a brochure.
Customer portals
A place your customers log in to see their bookings, orders, documents or account, instead of emailing you for every little thing.
Dashboards
Your real numbers in one screen: jobs, revenue, stock, whatever you actually run on, pulled together so you are not living in spreadsheets.
Booking systems
More than a form. Availability, confirmations, reminders, payments and rules that match how your business really takes bookings.
Internal tools
The custom bit of software your team needs to do the job properly, built to fit your process rather than bending your process to fit off-the-shelf software.
Marketplaces
Two sides meeting in one place: buyers and sellers, customers and vendors, with profiles, messaging, reviews and payments between them.
Something genuinely new
If the idea does not exist as a product you can just buy, it needs building. That is the work I like most.
What you get
A real full-stack build, not a prototype.
A proper full-stack build
Next.js and TypeScript on a Postgres database, written by hand and built to last, not dragged together in a builder or bolted onto a template.
Payments that work
Taking money, subscriptions, even payouts back out. The money plumbing is the hardest part of software, and it is the part I run in production every day.
Real accounts and auth
Secure sign-in, roles and permissions, so the right people see the right things and your customers' data stays theirs.
One engineer, start to finish
I design it, build it, ship it and stand behind it. No account managers, no handing your project to whoever is free that week.
Proof, not promises
Software I built and still run in production.
The strongest thing I can show you is not a pitch, it is products that are live right now, with real people using them and real money moving through them.
AnswerMe Pro
My own live quiz platform: ranked seasons, leaderboards, subscriptions and real cash payouts. Next.js, tRPC and Postgres, built and run solo. The money plumbing is the hard part, and it works.
Events Made Easy
An event-vendor marketplace shipped from one codebase to the web, the App Store and Google Play. Vendor profiles, reviews, messaging, bookings and subscriptions.
Ushop.bid
Skill-based strategy tournaments where players' bots compete for real prizes, provably fair so every result can be re-checked. A Next.js PWA, mobile-first, on tRPC.
ZVault AutoShield
Self-hosted payment automation where each payment runs in a single-use, isolated container. Private by design, fully auditable, with a TypeScript API and a Vite dashboard.
