Custom Web Apps
Custom tools that take work off your plate or put something useful in front of your audience. Built around how your business actually runs.
01 ·Who it's for
If you're nodding before you finish the sentence, we should talk.
Send me the list. The longer it is, the better.
02 ·What I build
Smart forms, booking systems, AI chatbots, member portals, calculators. The kind of tools that quietly handle work so you don't have to. Custom-built around your business.
Forms that adapt based on what someone says, so the right answers land in your inbox already sorted.
Examples
From $400
Booking that matches your site and routes the right service to the right place automatically.

How I price
Most projects land between $400 and $2,500. A few go bigger. Scoped after we talk so you know exactly what you're paying for and what you're getting.
03 ·How it works
01
Tell me what's slowing you down. We'll talk through how you actually do it now, and what a better version might look like. If I can build it, I'll send you a real plan within a couple days.
02
Before I write a line of code, you get a real plan. The whole thing, in plain English. No mystery quotes, no surprise invoices. Once you say go, I take 50% upfront and start building.
03
I build it. You go run your business. When it's ready, you'll sign off and it goes live. I stick around for 30 days in case anything pops up, and if you keep me on a care plan I'm just there for the long haul.
04 ·Past work
Before You Design is a pre-build strategy app. Diane Whiddon of Sway Rise Creative brought me the concept and the strategic framework. I built her vision into a working app. It turns any website URL into a real design brief you can hand to any AI.

Other things I've built
05 ·Client love
Barb blends aesthetic instinct with serious technical skill! She created a polished, incredibly functional AI tools directory website for my community, and the structure makes complex information simple and works flawlessly. I can't recommend her keen eye for design and her brilliance at vibe coding enough!

Barb recently developed an app for me to utilize in the backend of my web design business. It works beautifully! She really listened to what I was wanting to create, super quick to respond, and truly just a wonderful experience. Highly recommend her for your website and any app development needs!

06 ·Real questions
The questions I get most often. If yours isn't here, send it over on the contact page and you'll get a real answer from a real person.
Most small businesses don't, and shouldn't get one just because. The question is whether something specific is costing you time or losing you business. If you're answering the same questions in your inbox every day, your booking system is held together with email forwarding, or your visitors are bouncing because they can't get a real answer from your site, then yeah, you probably need one. If everything's running smooth, hang onto your money. We'll talk when something starts to break.
Totally fine. I take on partial work all the time. Hooking up a back end someone else built. Fixing what another developer started and ditched. Adding to an app that's almost working but not quite. Send me what you've got and I'll tell you what I can do.
We talk first. You tell me what you're tired of doing manually and what you're trying to fix. Within a couple days I send you a plan in plain English with what I'm building, what it costs, and how long it takes. The price isn't a mystery and it doesn't move once we both sign off. If something genuinely needs to change mid-build, we talk about it before any work happens. No surprise invoices, no scope creep (the fancy term for "they kept finding new stuff to charge me for"), no awkward conversations about money halfway through.
Depends on the app. Some are built so you can add stuff yourself, like dropping in a new listing or a new form question. Others have logic running behind the scenes that's better left to me, and those work best with a care plan in place. We sort that out when we're building it, so you know exactly what you're signing up for.
Every app comes with a 30-day window after launch for fixes, no charge. After that, if you're on a care plan, I just handle it. If you're not, you can reach out anytime and I'll either fix it on the spot or quote you. Apps have moving parts, which means they sometimes do weird things. That's normal. It's also what I'm here for.
A couple weeks for most things. Longer if you're asking for the moon. The plan I send before any work starts has the timeline locked in, so you're never wondering when it's done. And if you're asking because you need it done yesterday, ask me about a rush rate.
