01 — Services
What I can build for you.
Custom web apps & dashboards
Tools shaped around how your business actually works: quoting, bookings, records, internal dashboards. Less copying between spreadsheets, fewer manual steps.
- Built for your workflow
- Works in the browser
- Logins and data where needed
Website redesigns & improvements
Already have a site that feels dated or confusing? I can rework the design, tidy the content and make the enquiry path easier to follow.
- Modern, cleaner design
- Clearer structure
- Easier ways to enquire
02 — My work
Products I’ve designed and built.
These are my own projects, not client work. I built them end to end, and they’re live today.
My own product · Web app
Tradies2Quote
An app for New Zealand tradies that turns a spoken or typed job walkthrough into a draft quote with line items and 15% GST, which the tradie checks before sending.
- Quotes the client can read and sign on their phone
- Accepted quotes become invoices in one tap
- QR code for vans and site fences so clients can request a quote
- Supplier quote scanning, timesheets and a job calendar
My own product · Web app
Stowe
A shared kitchen app for couples, families and flatmates: what’s in the pantry, dinner ideas from it, a step-by-step Cook Mode, and one live shopping list for the whole household.
- Pantry stocked from fridge photos, receipts or online orders
- Cook Mode with timers, scaled servings and read-aloud steps
- Shared shopping list that updates live for everyone
- Works on iPhone, Android and the web
03 — About me
I build things people actually use.
I design and build websites and web apps, and I build my own products too. Tradies2Quote and Stowe are both mine, from the first sketch to the live app.
I start with your customers and your day-to-day work, not with a template. What do people need to understand? What should be easy? What is wasting your time right now? Then I build the simplest thing that solves it, and keep it maintainable.
Everything happens online, in writing, so decisions are clear and you can work with me from anywhere.
- Plain communication
- No jargon. You’ll know what’s being built and why.
- Practical over flashy
- Design that helps people find what they need and get in touch.
- Built to last
- Clean, modern code that’s easy to update later.
04 — How it works
From brief to launch, all online.
Good to know. A heads-up: I build alongside full-time work. That means no instant responses, no rushed delivery, no unlimited revisions and no 24/7 support. Timelines, review rounds and any support are agreed per project, in writing, before work begins.
01 / 05
Send your brief
Use the form to tell me about your business and what you need. A rough idea is fine.
02 / 05
Clarify requirements online
I’ll reply by email with questions so we both understand the goals, content and must-haves.
03 / 05
Agree scope and timing
You get a written quote with scope, price and timing for your project. Nothing starts until you agree.
04 / 05
Build and review
I build in stages and share progress online for your feedback, within the review rounds we agreed.
05 / 05
Launch and handover
We go live, and you get what you need to run it. Any ongoing support is agreed separately.
05 — Enquire
Tell me about your project.
Share what you need and I’ll reply by email. Submitting this form creates no commitment. It just starts the conversation.
- No phone calls, everything in writing
- A written quote before any work starts
- Your details are only used to reply to you

06 — FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do you work with clients outside my area?
Yes. I work remotely, so it doesn’t matter where you are. Everything is handled online.
Can we talk on the phone?
I keep everything online, by email and shared documents. It keeps decisions in writing and works across time zones. I don’t offer phone calls or call bookings.
How much does a website or web app cost?
Every project is different, so pricing is project-specific. Send me your brief and I’ll come back with a written quote based on what you actually need.
How many revisions do I get?
Review rounds are set out in your quote, so you know what’s included before we start.
Do you offer ongoing support?
Ongoing support, updates or maintenance can be agreed as part of the quote, or separately after launch. It isn’t included by default.
Does sending an enquiry commit me to anything?
No. Sending the form just starts a conversation. There’s no commitment until you’ve accepted a written quote.
