Why businesses ask for this
You've searched for software that does it and everything is 80% wrong.
You're paying for three subscriptions that together almost do what you need.
The process is clear in your head and nowhere else.
What it does
Built around how you work
Every business eventually needs the thing nobody sells: the tool that fits exactly how you work. We design and build it — web and mobile-friendly, connected to your existing systems, hosted in Australia — starting with a working prototype so you can see it before you commit. This is where the rest of the catalogue comes from.
- Discovery and written scope with a fixed price before any code
- Working prototype of the core feature first
- Modern, secure web app with logins and roles
- Integrations with accounting, email, calendars, SMS, payments and your other tools
- AI features where they add real value, not as decoration
- Australian hosting, backups and monitoring
- You own the code; ongoing support available on a retainer
Example
How it works for a specialist importer
The business needed one system for supplier orders, landed-cost calculation, stock, customer orders, invoicing and statements. No product fit. We built it in stages: calculators and invoicing first (live in three weeks), then orders and stock. Every stage was prototyped and approved before payment. Two years on it runs the business and is extended a little each quarter.
What's included
- Discovery, scope and fixed quote
- Prototype, then staged delivery
- Full source code ownership
- Hosting and support plan (optional)
- Documentation and training
Pricing
What it typically costs
Ranges are in AUD excluding GST and reflect what similar builds have cost. Your figure depends on scope — and you'll have it in writing, fixed, before we build anything.
Build
$5,600–$28,000
Fixed price after scoping. Nothing payable until you've seen the prototype working.
Ongoing (optional)
from $99/mo
Hosting & support retainer. Covers hosting, backups, monitoring and a support contact. Cancel any time; you keep the tool.
Step 1
Scope it, price it
A 30-minute call, then a short written scope listing exactly what the tool will do and a fixed price. No hourly rates, no surprises.
Step 2
See it working — free
We build a working prototype of the core feature and demonstrate it. If it doesn't do what we agreed, you walk away and owe nothing.
Step 3
Pay, we finish, you own it
Once you're happy, you pay and we complete the build, hand it over and train your team. Support, hosting and updates are available monthly if you want them.
Questions
About custom web appss
How do you price something custom?
We scope it properly first — a written document listing exactly what's in and out — and quote a fixed price for that. Anything outside the scope is quoted separately. No hourly surprises.
What if we need changes later?
That's normal. Small changes fit inside a support retainer; bigger ones are scoped and quoted. Because you own the code, you're never locked in.
Do we get the source code?
Yes, on completion. Many clients leave it with us to host and support, but it's yours.
Can it become a product we sell?
Several of ours did. If you have a product idea, we can build it multi-tenant from the start.
