Web apps that save you time.

I design and build custom web apps for businesses: client portals, dashboards, booking and quote systems, internal tools, PWAs and browser extensions. One developer from the database to the interface, from the first call to launch day and after. Websites and WordPress too, when that's what you need.

Services

Apps first. Websites, stores and fixes too.

My focus is custom web apps. When you need a website, an online store or a fix instead, you get the same developer, who owns the work from start to finish.

Custom web apps

Client portals, dashboards, booking and quote systems, internal tools, PWAs and browser extensions, built with TypeScript and React on Cloudflare.

  • Client portals
  • Dashboards and admin panels
  • Booking and quote systems
  • Internal tools
  • Progressive web apps
  • Browser extensions

What you get

  • A typed TypeScript and React front end that works well on phones and desktops
  • Back end and database on Cloudflare Workers, D1 or Supabase, sized for your needs
  • Sign-in, roles and the security basics done properly from day one
  • Real-time features such as live updates, chat or notifications where they help
  • Deployment, monitoring and a handover you can understand

Apps and frameworks

Typed, component-based web apps with sign-in, roles, real-time features and APIs.

Process

A simple process with no surprises.

You always know what's happening, what's next, and what it costs.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We start with a short call about the people who will use it, the must-have features and what success looks like. I'll ask for any access I need up front.

  2. 02

    Prototype

    You click through the core flow early, so changes are cheap and nothing is a surprise.

  3. 03

    Build

    I build in small, working steps and share a live preview link as features land, so you're never left guessing.

  4. 04

    Launch and support

    I deploy, test on real devices and stay on hand while the first users arrive. I'm still around afterward for updates, fixes and new features.

FAQ

Questions people usually ask.

Mostly custom web apps for founders and small teams: client portals, dashboards, booking and quote systems, and internal tools. I also build websites and online stores, and I fix and maintain existing ones.

Yes. I add features, fix bugs and speed things up on existing sites and apps, from WordPress and WooCommerce sites to TypeScript and React codebases.

It depends on scope. After a short conversation about what you need, you get a written quote with a clear price, timeline, and list of what's included before any work starts. Websites and stores are quoted the same way.

Me. You work directly with the developer doing the work, not an account manager. You'll get clear updates as the project moves forward.

Yes. For apps I handle updates, monitoring, fixes and new features. For WordPress sites I handle plugin and theme updates, backups, security checks and speed improvements. Ask about it when we talk and I'll suggest an arrangement that fits.
