Software That Fits Your Business: Not the Other Way Around

The Off-The-Shelf Software Problem Costing You Productivity

You bought the popular solution. It almost works for your business. But not quite:

Meanwhile, businesses with custom internal tools move faster. Their software fits their workflow perfectly. Teams don't waste time on workarounds. Everything integrates seamlessly.

The cost of staying stuck with off-the-shelf:

• 10+ hours per week per employee wasted on manual workarounds
• $30k-$100k+ annually on software subscriptions for tools that don't fit
• Errors and delays from manual data re-entry between systems
• Limited business growth because your software can't handle your processes
• Competitive disadvantage from slower operations
• Employee frustration with clunky, unintuitive systems

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does custom software take to build?

Simple tools: 8-12 weeks. Mid-size systems: 12-20 weeks. Complex enterprise applications: 20-30+ weeks. Timeline depends on feature scope, integrations, and how quickly we can finalize requirements. I provide exact timelines after the discovery phase.

Is custom software really cheaper than off-the-shelf?

It depends on your situation. If you're paying $3,000/month ($36k/year) for SaaS tools that don't quite fit, custom software that costs $50k pays for itself in 18 months and then saves you $36k/year forever. Plus you get exactly what you need instead of compromising. For businesses with unique processes or high user counts, custom is usually much more cost-effective long-term.

What if my requirements change during development?

They often do - that's normal. We can adjust scope during development. Major changes may affect timeline and cost, but minor refinements and adjustments are expected and included. The discovery phase minimizes surprises by thoroughly mapping requirements upfront.

Who owns the code and data?

You do. You own all source code, databases, and business data. No vendor lock-in. You're free to maintain it internally, hire another developer, or work with me ongoing - your choice.

Can you integrate with our existing systems?

Almost always yes. If the system has an API, integration is straightforward. If it has database access, we can connect directly. Even legacy systems without APIs can usually be integrated through file exports, web scraping, or database connections. I've integrated with SAP, QuickBooks, Xero, Shopify, custom databases, and many others.

What about security and compliance?

Security is built-in from day one: encrypted data transmission (SSL/HTTPS), secure password storage (bcrypt hashing), role-based access controls, SQL injection prevention, XSS protection, and regular security updates. For industries with specific compliance needs (HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2), I ensure proper controls are in place.

Can the software grow as our business grows?

Yes. I build with scalability in mind - proper database design, efficient queries, caching strategies, and cloud infrastructure that scales. Most systems handle significant user growth without architectural changes. When you need major expansion, we can enhance the platform.

What if we need changes or new features later?

You have options: maintain it yourself (you own the code), hire any developer, or work with me for enhancements. I provide ongoing support packages for businesses that want continued feature development and maintenance. Even years later, I can add features or fix issues.

How do you handle training and documentation?

Every project includes comprehensive training for all user roles and complete documentation (user guides, admin manuals, technical docs). Training can be in-person or remote, with recorded sessions for future reference. Documentation covers both how to use the system and how to maintain it technically.

What happens if something breaks?

All projects include 30 days of post-launch support for bugs and issues. After that, you can purchase ongoing support packages or address issues on a time-and-materials basis. I also provide monitoring and alerting so you know about issues immediately, and hosting packages include automatic backups for disaster recovery.
