App development · South Wales

Apps built around your business.

I design and build web apps, customer portals, internal tools and SaaS products for businesses in South Wales and across the UK. You work with one engineer, from the first conversation to launch.

What I build.

  • Customer portals.

    Let your customers place orders, apply, or check progress themselves, following your rules.

  • Internal tools.

    Replace the spreadsheet everyone is afraid to touch with an app built for how your team works.

  • SaaS products.

    From the idea to paying customers: the product, the design and the servers it runs on.

  • Integrations.

    Connections to lenders, Shopify, accounting software and whatever else your business relies on.

How I work.

  1. We talk.

    I learn how your business works, what you need, and what’s getting in the way.

  2. We agree the scope.

    What gets built first, what it has to do, and roughly how long it will take.

  3. I build it.

    You deal with me the whole way through, and you see it working early.

  4. I stay around.

    Changes, hosting and support by the hour, for as long as you need.

Common questions.

Something else on your mind? Email me and I’ll answer it directly.

How long does it take to build an app?

It depends on the size. Clarity Pay, a retail finance platform signed off by lenders including Zopa and V12 Finance, was delivered in under a month. I’ll give you a realistic timescale after the first conversation.

How much does an app cost?

I work by the hour, so you pay for the time the work takes. We agree what the app needs to do first, and I’ll give you a realistic estimate before I start.

Do you build mobile apps?

Most business apps I build run in the browser and work well on a phone, which avoids app store fees and review delays. If you need a native iOS or Android app, tell me what it has to do and I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right person for it.

What happens after launch?

I stay on by the hour for changes, hosting and support. Some clients have worked with me this way for more than five years.

Do you only work with businesses in South Wales?

No. I’m based in South Wales and happy to meet in person around Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and Bridgend. I also work remotely with clients across Wales and the rest of the UK.

Tell me about
your business.

I only take on a few projects at a time, so I’m selective about what I say yes to. I read every application myself and reply by email.
