How I Can Help.
Two distinct ways I can help. Bespoke software and AI-powered systems for founders and businesses — or a professional web presence for local and UK businesses that need something properly made.
How it works
We have a conversation
No commitment, no sales pitch. A straight talk about what you need and whether I can help.
I send a proposal
Clear scope, fixed price, timeline. No hidden extras, no vague estimates.
50% upfront to start
Work begins immediately on cleared payment. The remaining 50% is due on delivery.
Delivery & go-live
Final balance clears, site goes live. You get full access to everything — no lock-in.
Larger projects (£3k+)
Split into thirds: start, midpoint, delivery — protects both sides on longer builds.
Monthly Support
First month upfront, then monthly by standing order. Minimum 3-month commitment.
Payment methods
Bank transfer or Stripe. Nothing starts without cleared funds — nothing goes live without the final payment.
Custom-Built Software
For businesses and founders who need custom-built software, not a template.
“The same stack that powers CarbonVerified.uk and chichester-jobs.uk — proven in production, fully yours on delivery.”
Let’s Plan It First
Before any work starts, we figure out exactly what you need.
- 2–3 structured discovery sessions
- A clear written plan of exactly what we’re building — in plain English
- A blueprint for how your data will be stored and managed
- We map out step-by-step how someone will use it, before a line of code is written
- Project estimate with timeline
Fee offset against build cost if the project proceeds. Protects both sides.
Bespoke Build
Custom database-driven software, built from scratch.
- Vanilla PHP 8.x / MySQL — full code ownership, no framework lock-in
- User authentication, roles & permissions
- Custom admin dashboard & reporting
- Stripe payment integration (if required)
- PHPMailer email notifications
- Hosted & deployed on client’s infrastructure
- Full handover with documentation
Typical timeline: 4–12 weeks. Scoped after Discovery. Internal tools, booking systems, directories, membership platforms.
Custom Product Build
Build a software product, not just an internal tool.
- Everything in Bespoke Build
- Multi-tenant architecture
- Stripe subscription billing
- Customer onboarding flow
- Super-admin panel for platform management
- Analytics & MRR tracking
Pricing options: Fixed fee from £5,000 — or reduced fixed fee + small % of MRR for 12–24 months. Aligned incentives.
Application Support
Keep your live application moving forward.
- Bug fixes & security patches
- Feature additions & iteration
- Performance monitoring
- Database maintenance
- Same-day response (working days)
- Monthly development summary
Best for: Live applications needing a reliable technical partner post-launch. Rate scales with the volume of ongoing work.
