Sound Familiar?

These are the challenges we hear from small business owners every week

⏰ "Hours Lost to Admin"

Spending 10-15 hours per week on scheduling, invoicing, or chasing payments instead of actually running your business.

📊 "Spreadsheet Chaos"

Multiple Excel files that don't talk to each other. Data entry errors. Lost information. No single source of truth.

💸 "Can't Afford Enterprise"

Big software costs £500/month but you only need 20% of the features. Too expensive for a small business.

🤯 "Too Complex to Use"

Bought software that requires training courses. Your team doesn't use it. Back to spreadsheets.

🔄 "Same Problems Repeating"

Double-bookings, missed appointments, forgotten tasks. The same inefficiencies every week.

📈 "Can't Scale"

Your current processes work now, but they'll break when you grow. Need systems that scale.

We Build What You Actually Need

Not generic software. Not off-the-shelf templates. Custom tools designed specifically for your business, your workflow, your team.

Real Example: Fresh Start Cleaning

We built a complete client and employee management system for a local cleaning business. Before: 5-10 hours/week on spreadsheets. After: < 1 hour /week. The system handles scheduling, client information, staff allocation, job notes, and exports for accounting.

Result: 7+ hours saved every week. That's £9,000/year in freed-up time.

Common Questions

How long does it take to build a custom tool?

Typical build time is 2-4 weeks from approval to delivery. Simple tools (like a payroll calculator) can be done in 1-2 weeks. More complex systems (like a full client manager) take 3-4 weeks. We'll give you an exact timeline in the quote.

What if I need changes after delivery?

3 months of support is included free. During this time, we'll fix any bugs and make reasonable adjustments. After that, ongoing support is available for £75-150/month depending on complexity, or one-off changes can be quoted separately.

Do I need to host it somewhere?

Most tools we build run entirely in your browser—no hosting needed. For tools that need data storage, we can either set up simple hosting (from £5/month) or configure it to store data locally on your computer. We'll recommend the best option for your needs.

Can multiple people use the same tool?

Yes. We can build multi-user tools with different permission levels (e.g., admin vs staff). This adds to the complexity but is often included in the base price for systems designed for teams.

What if I'm not technical?

Perfect—that's who we build for! Our tools are designed to be intuitive. We provide training (video guides and live walkthrough), written documentation, and support. If you can use Excel or a website, you can use our tools.

Do you integrate with my existing software?

Often, yes. We can build export functions for accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage), import from Excel/CSV, or create integrations with other tools you use. Tell us what you need and we'll let you know if it's possible.
