Custom web apps & PWAs for local businesses
Replace spreadsheets, paper job sheets and juggled apps with one system built around how your business actually works. It installs on any phone, tablet or computer and keeps working offline.
- Works on iPhone, Android and desktop
- See a clickable prototype first
- Fixed price per stage
An app your team will actually use
Off-the-shelf software makes you work its way, and you pay for features you never use. A custom web app does exactly what your business needs, and nothing it doesn’t.
Built as a progressive web app (PWA), it installs straight from the browser. No app store, no separate iPhone and Android versions, and updates reach everyone instantly.
Installs like an app
Home-screen icon, full-screen, fast to open.
Works offline
Keeps working with no signal and syncs when back online.
Secure logins & roles
Each person sees only what their role needs.
Notifications & emails
Booking confirmations, reminders and alerts sent automatically.
What I can build for you
Typical systems for trades and small businesses.
Booking & scheduling
Online bookings, team calendars, automatic confirmations and reminders.
Job sheets for engineers
Job cards on the phone with customer signatures, photos, notes and parts used.
Quotes & invoicing
Create and send branded PDF quotes and invoices, and track what’s unpaid.

Built in-house
I build and run my own platform too
Alongside client work, I’m building a multi-tenant platform for field-service businesses. It covers engineer scheduling, mobile job cards with signatures and photos, invoicing, sales follow-ups, staff management and finance dashboards, as an installable PWA with offline support.
The same standards, security and lessons go into every app I build for you.
Included as standard
- Clickable prototype to try before the build
- Secure sign-in with role-based access
- UK/EU data hosting and backups
- GDPR-conscious design, with your data exportable
- Branded to your business, on your own domain
- Hosting, monitoring and updates on a monthly plan
How a project works

You try the screens on your own phone and we refine them before any build starts.
Build in stages
A fixed price per stage, each one tested and handed over as it’s finished.
Launch & support
Your team is set up and trained, then hosting, updates and fixes are covered monthly.
Web app questions
What is a PWA?
A progressive web app is a website that behaves like an app. It installs from the browser onto a phone, tablet or computer, opens full-screen from the home screen, keeps working when the signal drops and can send notifications. One app works on iPhone, Android and desktop.
Do I need to go through the App Store?
No. Your team installs it straight from the browser, so there are no app store approvals, fees or waiting for updates. Changes go live for everyone instantly.
How much does a custom app cost?
Every project is quoted after a discovery chat, with a fixed price for each stage so there are no surprises. Hosting, updates and support are covered by a monthly plan.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size of the job. Bigger systems are built in stages, so you can start using the most important parts sooner rather than waiting for everything.
Who owns the app and the data?
Your business data is always yours, and can be exported. Whether the app itself is provided as a managed service or bought outright is agreed in your quote before any work starts.
What happens if something goes wrong?
You deal directly with me. Every app comes with monitoring, backups and a support plan, so issues are picked up and fixed by the person who built it.
Got a process that needs an app?
Tell me how you work now. I’ll suggest what an app could do and give you a fixed price for the first stage.
