Apps, Tools & Software Built Around Your Business
Not everything you need exists off the shelf. I build custom apps, internal tools, booking systems, customer portals, quoting calculators, stock trackers, and business automations - whatever your business actually needs to run better.

What Kind of Things - Can I Build?
Here are real examples of the kind of tools and apps small businesses ask me to build. If it involves data, logic, or automation - I can probably build it.
Booking & Appointment Systems
Custom booking flows that fit your exact availability rules, services, and pricing - not a generic plugin that nearly works.
Customer Portals & Dashboards
Secure login areas where your clients can view invoices, track orders, download files, or manage their account without calling you.
Quoting & Pricing Calculators
Interactive tools that let your customers get instant quotes based on their selections - sizes, quantities, options - saving you hours of manual quoting.
Internal Business Tools
Stock trackers, job management boards, staff rotas, lead trackers - the tools you need but can't find off the shelf.
Automations & Integrations
Connect your existing systems so data flows automatically - new enquiry to CRM, invoice to accounting, form to spreadsheet, order to fulfilment.
Mobile-Friendly Web Apps
Progressive web apps your team or customers can use on their phones - inventory checks on site, field reports, mobile ordering, and more.
Sound Familiar?
These are the problems I hear from business owners every single day. If any of these hit home, I can help.
You're Running Your Business on Spreadsheets and Workarounds
You've got a spreadsheet for tracking jobs, another for invoicing, a shared Google Doc for the rota, and WhatsApp for everything else. It works - until it doesn't.
Off-the-Shelf Software Doesn't Fit How You Actually Work
You've tried the apps, the plugins, and the SaaS tools. They all do 70% of what you need and charge you monthly for the privilege of being frustrated by the other 30%.
You're Spending Hours on Tasks That Should Be Automatic
Manually copying data between systems, sending the same emails, updating the same records in three different places. That's time you should be spending on your actual business.
How I Fix It
A clear, proven process with no jargon and no surprises.
Discovery
I sit down with you and properly understand the problem - how your business works today, what's frustrating, and what the ideal solution looks like.
Scope & Quote
I write up exactly what I'll build, how it'll work, and what it'll cost. Fixed price, no surprises, no hourly billing.
Build & Review
I build in stages with regular check-ins so you can see progress and give feedback throughout - not just at the end.
Deliver & Support
I hand over your finished tool with full documentation, walk you through it, and provide a support period to iron out any teething issues.
Want to Meet Me?
Describe your problem in 10 minutes and I'll tell you exactly what I can build, how long it'll take, and what it'll cost. No commitment.
"We needed a bespoke client portal that integrated with our booking system and none of the off-the-shelf tools came close. Lewis built exactly what we needed, on time and on budget. He genuinely understood the brief."
