Custom builds

Stores, databasesand custom web apps.

When your business needs more than a brochure website, I build it: online stores, searchable databases, member sign-ups, booking systems and custom tools. From $5,000, quoted up front.

"If you can describe how it should work, I can build it."

Most small businesses do great with a $2,500 custom website. But some need more. Maybe you want to sell online, let customers search a list of listings, have people sign up to join a directory, or replace the spreadsheet that runs your business.

That's a custom build. I plan it with you, design it to match your brand, and build the database, logins and admin tools behind it, so you can manage everything yourself without calling a developer for every change.

Every custom build gets the same SEO and AI-search setup as my websites, so it's built to be found. You'll get a fixed price before any work starts, and you'll work directly with me the whole way. Have a question first? Read when a custom system beats off-the-shelf software.

What I build

More than a website, built around you.

Online stores

Sell products online with a cart, secure checkout, inventory, shipping and order emails. Great for retail shops, makers and apparel brands.

Searchable databases

Directories and listings visitors can search and filter by location, category, price or anything else. Great for associations, real estate, resource lists and job boards.

Member sign-ups and portals

Let people join, get added to your database and log in to members-only content. Great for clubs, nonprofits, coaches and courses.

Booking and registration

Appointments, classes, events, waitlists and deposits that run themselves. Great for salons, studios, venues and daycares.

Client portals

A private login where clients see their files, invoices and project status. Great for contractors, accountants and agencies.

Custom tools and CRMs

Quote calculators, intake forms, lead tracking and dashboards built around how you work. Great for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets.

Automation and AI

AI chat assistants, automatic follow-ups and systems that connect the tools you already use, so repetitive work happens on its own.

Questions

Custom build questions.

Can you add a database to my website?

Yes. I build websites with databases visitors can search and filter, such as directories, listings, product catalogs and resource libraries, plus an easy admin area where you add and edit entries yourself.

Can people sign up on my website to be added to a list or directory?

Yes. Sign-up forms can add people straight to your database, a members area, a waitlist or an email list. You can approve, edit or export entries whenever you need to.

Can I sell products online?

Yes. I build online stores with product pages, a cart, secure checkout, inventory, shipping and tax settings, and order emails. I'll recommend the right platform for your size, from Shopify to a fully custom store.

How much does a custom build cost?

Custom builds start at $5,000. Most small business stores, directories and portals fall between $5,000 and $15,000, depending on features. You get a fixed quote before any work starts.

How long does a custom build take?

Most projects take 4 to 10 weeks from the approved plan to launch, depending on how many features and integrations are involved.

Who owns the website and the data?

You do. Your website, code, customer data and accounts belong to your business. If you ever move on, I'll hand everything over.

Do you offer support after launch?

Yes. Hosting, updates, security and small changes can be covered by a monthly care plan, quoted alongside your project.
