Internal tools, integrations & automation
Bespoke Software Developer, Chester & Liverpool
If a Chester or Liverpool business has a job its off-the-shelf tools can't do, I write the bespoke software that does it.
Bespoke software you own outright
The code is yours, and so are the repositories, the documentation and the deployment process, so you're never tied to me to keep it running.
Bespoke software I build
-
Custom applications
Software for a process no product on the market handles the way your business runs it, used by your staff, your customers or both.
-
System integrations
Your CRM, ERP, payments, fulfilment and analytics connected through their APIs and webhooks, with the data passed between them agreed and monitored.
-
Automation
Steps your staff repeat by hand, run by software on a schedule or when something happens in another system.
-
Tools for your clients
Interactive tools on your website, like the fee calculator I built for a financial adviser, that work out an answer for each client.
A bespoke design system for one institution's digital teams
- One library in place of many. The institution's digital teams were each building their own components. An audit found the duplicates, and the best version of each became one shared library, now used across those teams.
- Design changes that reach the code. Colours, type and spacing are design tokens synced from Figma, so a change made in Figma updates the code without anyone copying it across by hand.
- A move each team made when it was ready. Codemods and a component mapping guide let each team move to the new library at its own pace.
- Tests on every component. Storybook documents each component's states and variants, and automated accessibility and visual regression tests catch problems before a release.
How a bespoke build starts in Chester or Liverpool
We start by going through the job step by step. In Chester or Liverpool, that can happen at your office.
The scope comes next, and you agree it before I write any code, so you know what the software will do before it exists.

Frequently asked questions
Updated
How do I know if we need bespoke software?
Look for the workaround your team keeps going: a spreadsheet beside the CRM, a report someone rebuilds every week, or a step skipped because the tool can't do it. That workaround is the job to describe.
Do you support the software after launch?
Yes, if you'd like me to. Updates, fixes, performance tuning and small improvements, as you need them or on a retainer.
Do you only build software for Chester and Liverpool businesses?
No. Most of a build happens remotely, so I also work with businesses elsewhere in Cheshire, on the Wirral and in other parts of the North West.
