SOUND FAMILIAR?

Little problems that eat up big chunks of your day.

You don't need a massive IT project. Sometimes you just need a simple tool that does one job properly.

01

Everything's in spreadsheets

Jobs, customers or stock spread across files that are hard to keep up to date.

Build a simple, shared tracker
02

Too much paperwork

Forms, checklists and inspections that still need printing, chasing or retyping.

Put it all in one easy app
03

Chasing people for answers

Approvals and requests disappearing into emails and "just checking in" messages.

See what's waiting and who's next
04

Software that doesn't fit

Paying for a complicated system when you only use a handful of its features.

Get software made for you

Think job trackers, inspection forms, stock lists, simple booking systems, approval tools and more. Not sure if your idea fits? Just ask me.

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT

Here's what I've actually built.

REAL PROJECT · QUALITY & APPROVALS

They were paying $20,000 a year for software that didn't quite fit.

So I built them their own system for quality checks, non-conformance reports and approvals. One place for the team to get the job done, instead of a mixture of software, paper and emails.

NO MYSTERY QUOTES

Simple software. Simple pricing.

For a straightforward business app, I charge $500 for up to 10 screens or forms. Need more? Add another block of 10 for $500.

Tell me what you're trying to fix. I'll help work out the screens and confirm the scope and price before we begin.

  • Simple forms, lists, search and status tracking
  • One clear business workflow per project
  • A working web app, tested and handed over
  • Your own code and accounts

Ask Johan about my app

This is an estimate for a straightforward app, not a guaranteed quote. Complex features, integrations or data migration need a separate quote. Hosting and ongoing support aren't included in the build price. Prices are in NZD.

NO COMPLICATED PROCESS

Here's how it works.

01

Tell me what's annoying you

Explain the job that's taking too long, the spreadsheet that's getting out of hand, or the tool you wish existed. Plain English is fine.

02

We agree on a simple plan

I'll work out what the app needs to do, which screens make sense, and give you a clear price before building anything.

03

I build it and hand it over

I'll build and test the software with you, make sure the important bits work, and show you how to use it.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Worth knowing up front.

What counts as a screen or form?

A screen is one distinct page or form in your app—for example, a list of jobs, a screen to add a job, or a page showing a job's details. I'll help you count them before we agree on the price.

Can you build something bigger than 10 screens?

Yes. Each additional block of up to 10 straightforward screens is another $500. For more complex systems, we'll agree on a separate quote instead of pretending every feature takes the same amount of work.

What if I don't know exactly what I need?

That's normal. Tell me what your team does today and what's frustrating. I'll help you work out the simplest useful version, without expecting you to write a technical brief.

What about hosting and changes later?

The build price covers the agreed app, not ongoing hosting or unlimited changes. We'll talk through any ongoing costs and support before the project starts. The code and accounts are yours.
