Custom Software Development

Purpose-built tools for how you actually work — not shelf software jammed into your process.

What you get

  • Scoped to your workflow, not a generic SaaS template
  • Integrates with your existing tools (CRM, accounting, scheduling)
  • You own the code — no vendor lock-in
  • Iterative builds: working software fast, then refined

How to start

  1. Text PJ one sentence about what you want to build.
  2. Katie sends a plain-language scope draft (no commitment).
  3. You review, adjust, and greenlight when it feels right.
  4. Iterative builds — working software fast, then refined.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost?

Most projects start with a scoping call — no surprise invoices. Custom software ranges widely; clearly defined scope = clearly defined cost.

How long does it take?

A focused MVP typically lands in 4–12 weeks. Full custom platforms vary. Timeline depends on scope, integrations, and how quickly feedback comes back.

Do you do maintenance after launch?

Yes. Katie can own ongoing support, or hand off clean documented code to your internal team — whichever serves you better.

What if I just have an idea and no spec?

That's normal. Start with a text. PJ will get Katie on it and you'll get a plain-language scope draft, no commitment needed.
