Three worlds I know from the inside.

I do not reshape standard templates. Every project starts with a conversation and one day of on-site observation. What gets built then fits your workflow, not the other way around.

Questions

What you want to know

The most common questions from trades businesses and property managers before our first call.

Why a solo developer instead of an agency?

You talk directly to the developer writing the code. No project managers, no sales layer. That saves weeks of lead time and 30-50% agency mark-up.

How fast do projects start after enquiry?

Typically within a few days. A short discovery call is enough to check fit. Then you get a quote, and on approval we start.

What kind of projects do you not take on?

No pure WordPress sites, no mass e-commerce stores on standard shop systems, no crypto/NFT projects. The focus is custom software for operational SME processes.

Guides and insights
