Handoff & ownership

Source code, the live system, your data and documentation: all yours. Add optional ongoing support, or take the keys and run it yourself.

Yours to keep

Smaller projects take 1 to 2 weeks. Bigger ones take longer.

The 20–40 minute first call is free, and you leave with a dollar number whether you buy or not.

Pricing

Fixed price. One number. Agreed up front.

1What you get

starting at

$3,000

Your final price is set after the discovery call, based on the complexity of the workflow we're encoding: the number of stages, integrations, user roles and edge cases. Once we agree it, the number doesn't move. Scope creep is on us, not you.

  • Written specification before any build starts
  • Mid-process previews
  • Hosting, domain and deployment set up for you
  • Bug-fix window included after launch
  • Source code, data and infrastructure handed over. You own everything outright
  • No subscriptions, no per-seat fees, no licence to expire

2Where most builds start

Small

from $3,000

One job, done properly. For example a quote builder, a claim tracker or a reorder alert.

  • One main workflow
  • Works on phone and computer
  • Usually about a week

Recommended

Medium

from $5,000

A few connected tools that share data, linked to one system you already use.

  • Two or three workflows
  • Connects to one existing tool (CRM, accounting or shop software)
  • Usually 1 to 2 weeks

Large

from $10,000

Replaces several tools or spreadsheets with one system built around your business.

  • Several workflows and user roles
  • Multiple connections
  • Usually 2 weeks or more

3Good to know

When you pay

The mockup is free. You pay once you've seen it and agreed the fixed price, before the build starts.

Running costs

Paid straight to the providers and shown with every quote: hosting about $50 a month, plus AI about $20 to $100 a month if your build uses it.

Guarantee

If I don't deliver what we agree in writing, you get every dollar back.

Why it costs less

AI-assisted engineering handles the repetitive setup work in a fraction of the time. You pay for the part that's specific to your business: your workflow, your rules and the unusual cases. The saving comes from time, not from cutting corners.

A note from Daniel

Most businesses I talk to don't need another big software subscription. They need one or two things that stop the same jobs being done by hand every week.

I'm one person, so you deal with me from the first call to the handoff. I take on a few projects at a time so each one gets proper attention. If a custom build isn't right for you, I'll say so on the first call.

DanielFounder, Backend for Businesses

Who do you usually work with?

Any business with a process that's costing it time or money, starting with equipment dealers and repair shops. Usually the owner or operations manager, in a business where a lot of work still runs on spreadsheets, paper, or people chasing things by hand.

What kind of projects are you a good fit for?

Work that's too specific to your business for an off-the-shelf app: approval steps, your own pricing rules, warranty or compliance paperwork, customer portals, or getting two systems that don't talk to each other to share data. If you've tried a few software subscriptions and ended up back in a spreadsheet, that's usually a good sign we can help.

Can you build something that isn't on this page?

Yes. Everything on this page is an example. If a problem in your business can be solved with software, we can build it. Tell me the problem on the call and I'll tell you honestly if it's worth fixing.

How long does it take?

Smaller, focused tools usually take 1 to 2 weeks from the first call to handoff. The more complex the system, the longer it takes, so larger, higher-priced builds take more time. You get a realistic timeline in writing before you pay anything.

Do I really own it?

Yes. The code goes into your own account, runs on your own hosting and domain, and the data is yours. There's no lock-in, no per-user fees and no licence that runs out. If you ever want someone else to look after it, you can hand the code and documentation to any developer and they can pick it up straight away.

What if what we need changes during the build?

You see working previews throughout, so most "we also need…" moments get spotted early and handled as part of the build. If something is genuinely new, I'll quote it separately and you decide whether to add it. Nothing is ever added to your bill without you agreeing first.

What about support after it's finished?

It's up to you. You can have me look after it on a simple monthly plan, hand it to your own team, or I can walk another developer through it. You don't need to pay anything ongoing to keep it running, apart from hosting.

Does it work with our current system?

Often, yes. It can connect to what you already use or replace a spreadsheet. We check on the first call.

Is the first call really free?

Yes. The 20–40 minute call is free, and so is the mockup on the second call. You only pay if you decide to go ahead with the build.
