Questions people ask before we start.

Most projects have two parts: a one-time build fee to create it, and a low monthly care plan for my time keeping it maintained, secure, and improving. Separately, you pay for your own domain, hosting, and a database if your tool needs one. Those are small, standard monthly costs, billed to you directly by the providers and kept in your name, with no markup from me. Prefer to skip the monthly plan and own everything outright? A one-time buyout is available. I'll scope whichever path fits your budget before we start.

My time: keeping your tool updated and secure, managing your backups, keeping an eye on it, and a set amount of time each month for the small tweaks and changes that come up as your business runs. It keeps your software alive and improving instead of frozen the day it launched, and it means there's always a real person who already knows your setup. Your domain, hosting, and any database stay in your own accounts, so the plan is purely my service on top.

Just your own domain, hosting, and a database if your tool needs one. These are standard, usually small monthly costs, billed directly to you and set up in your name, so you own them and there's no markup from me. I'll recommend the right options for your needs and keep them running for you as part of the care plan.

The care plan is month to month. You can adjust it or cancel anytime. I'd rather earn it every month than lock you into a contract, and if you ever leave, your data comes with you and I'll help you hand things off cleanly.

Yes. The buyout is a one-time purchase where you own the software fully. You'd still have your own hosting and domain (you always do), you'd just handle the upkeep yourself or bring in someone else. It's a bigger number up front, which is why most small businesses keep the care plan, but the option is always there.

A deposit up front to get started, then the rest tied to milestones and launch, so payment tracks real progress. The monthly care plan begins once your tool is live.

Me, start to finish. You work directly with the person making your software, not a salesperson who hands you to a team you never meet. And the person who builds it is the same person who keeps it running month to month.

A quick call to understand the problem, then a clear scope and price. I build it with regular check-ins and working versions so you're never in the dark, we launch, and then I keep it running. You always know what's happening and what's next.

A straightforward website is usually a few weeks. A larger custom tool can run a couple of months, depending on scope. You'll get a realistic timeline before we begin, and see working versions along the way.

Not much, and only where it counts. Mostly it's a few conversations up front so I understand how your business actually runs, then check-ins along the way. You don't need to manage anything technical, that part's on me.

That's normal, and figuring it out is part of my job. Most people come to me with a frustration, not a spec. We talk it through and I turn it into something concrete and doable within your budget.

Websites, web apps, shift scheduling, inventory tracking, work orders and maintenance tracking, reporting, and custom tools that fit how you already work. If what you need doesn't fit a neat category, ask, there's a good chance it's exactly the kind of thing I like to take on.

That's a lot of what I do. If you're duct-taping together spreadsheets, sticky notes, and half-connected apps, I can build one tool that fits your workflow and actually holds up. That's how most of my projects have started.

Yes. Your whole team can have their own logins, with access set per person, so a manager sees everything while someone on the floor sees just what they need. You stay in control of who can see and do what.

Yes. Everything I build works on phones, tablets, and computers, so you and your team can use it wherever the work actually happens, not just at a desk.

Yes, fully. Your domain, hosting, database, and data are all set up in your name and paid by you, so you own them outright, and you can export your data anytime. On the care plan I maintain the software for you so you never have to think about the technical side, or you can own that outright too through a one-time buyout. Either way, you're never locked out of your own business.

Yes. On the care plan I manage security and regular backups for you, so a bad day never means lost data. And if something breaks or goes down, that's on me and I'm on it, you're not left googling error messages or waiting days for support.

A fair question when you're working with one person. Because your software, data, domain, hosting, and accounts are all set up in your name, you're never stranded, you'd simply have another developer pick it up. I keep everything documented and accessible so your business keeps running no matter what.

I'm based in Yuma, Arizona, but I work with businesses anywhere, it's all done remotely. To get started, send a short message through the site with what you're trying to solve, and I'll follow up to talk it through and scope it to your budget.
