Apps for businesses and startups

Custom apps and CRMs.

Private apps for your team, like a CRM or a full operations system, and public apps for your customers, from a booking app to a marketplace.

Built by me, priced as a range, and yours once it’s paid for.

Apps from
£2,500
A range, not a fixed price. You get one fixed price after the free call.

Private and public

Four kinds
of app.

Private apps are for you and your staff. Public apps are for your customers, or for a startup idea.

  1. Private

    Business tool or CRM

    One job done well, for your team only: a customer list and pipeline, job tracker, booking board or quote builder.

    £2,500–£6,000one-off range

  2. Private

    Advanced CRM and operations system

    The whole business in one place: leads, quotes, jobs, calendar, staff, documents and compliance, with logins per person.

    £9,000–£20,000one-off range

  3. Public

    Public app (B2C or B2B)

    A web app your customers sign in to: a client portal, booking or ordering app, or a first version of a startup idea.

    £7,000–£15,000one-off range

  4. Public

    Marketplace (B2B, C2B or C2C)

    Two sides meeting in one app: buyers and sellers, customers and providers, with listings, accounts and messaging.

    £20,000–£45,000one-off range

Care after launch from £60 a month: hosting, updates, backups and small fixes.

Already built

Two systems,
already live.

Not mock-ups. Both are live, and I can show you round them on a call.

Advanced CRM and operations system

KLR Ops

Built for KLR Design, a gates and fabrication company in Perth & Kinross.

I built a full operations system for a local design company: CRM, quotes, jobs and compliance. Enquiries come in, quotes are built from real supplier prices, jobs go on the calendar and map, and staff files, documents and two-factor sign-in keep it tidy and secure.

My own CRM

Studio HQ

The private app I run Rapid Scale Studio from.

A lead finder that scores local businesses, a sales pipeline, a marketing planner, a Monday briefing, daily checks on my clients’ websites, and a client portal with private proposal pages.

How it works

Planned first.
Built in stages.

You see it working early and often, and the price is fixed before I start.

  1. S115 min

    Free call

    You tell me what the app needs to do and who will use it. I’ll tell you honestly if it’s something I can build.

  2. S21 wk

    Plan and price

    A short plan in plain English: screens, who sees what, and a fixed price from inside the range. Nothing starts until you agree it.

  3. S3Weeks

    Build in stages

    You get a working link early and see it grow. Each stage is something you can click and try, not a slide.

  4. S4After

    Launch and care

    It goes live on your own address. Care from £60 a month covers hosting, updates, backups and small fixes.

Why a price range and not a fixed price?

No two apps are the same. The range shows roughly where yours will land. After the free call I write a short plan and give you one fixed price from inside it, before any work starts.

What do B2C, B2B, C2B and C2C mean?

Who uses the app. B2C: a business serving the public (a booking app). B2B: a business serving other businesses (a trade portal). C2B: people offering something to businesses (freelancers or creators applying to jobs). C2C: people dealing with each other (a local swap or hire marketplace).

Do I own the app?

Yes. Once it’s paid for in full, the code and the data are yours, the same as my websites. It runs on accounts in your name where that makes sense.

Can it work on phones?

Yes. I build web apps that work in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, and can be added to the home screen like an app. App Store and Google Play apps are a different, bigger job, so ask me first.

What does it cost to run?

Small apps often run on free or very cheap hosting. My care plan from £60 a month covers hosting, updates, backups and small fixes. New features are quoted separately.

Got an app
in mind?

Tell me what it needs to do and who will use it, and I’ll come back with a range and a plan. Or see websites if you just need a site.
