Custom web platforms

Off the shelf software is the right answer more often than agencies admit. You need something custom when:

• Your process is the thing that makes you money, and no product on the market matches it
• You are paying per seat for a platform where your team uses four of its forty features
• The data you need to run the business lives in three systems and gets joined together in a spreadsheet
• You have hit a hard limit on a platform and the answer from support is "that is not how it works"
• You are quoted more per year in licences than a build would cost once

• A web application your team logs into

  Built to your process.

• An admin back end your staff can use

  Without training documents.

• Roles and permissions

  So people see what they should.

• Reporting

  On the numbers you actually watch.

• Integrations

  Into what you already run, where an API exists.

• Hosted on a server in Australia

  In your name.

• The full source code

  In a repository you own.

We work in stages on a staging site, separate from anything live. You get a login and use it as we go. Nothing reaches your real customers until you have used it yourself and said go.

Every build starts with a written scope: what is included, what is not, and what it costs. If something turns out bigger than we scoped, you hear it from us before we do the work, not on the invoice.

Laravel and PHP on the back end. Livewire and Alpine on the front. MySQL for data. Hosted on our own servers in Melbourne through Laravel Forge. All mainstream, all documented, all maintainable by any competent developer if we ever part ways. We do not build on anything proprietary that only we can service.

Every build is different, so there is no list price. We work out what you need, then quote the whole job as a fixed number with a written scope. You will know the cost before anything starts, and it will not move unless you ask for something new. What it comes to depends on what you want it to do, so the first step is a conversation.
