Desktop Apps
Software that lives on the computer at the counter.
The program the front desk runs all day, the screen in the workshop, the tool the office opens every morning. Built for Windows and Mac around how the work already runs, and wired to the same records as the website.
What It Covers
What you get.
Everything below is part of the work. Nothing here is an upgrade.
Windows and Mac
Built once and shipped for both, so the office machine and the laptop at home open the same program.
Drawn for the Job
Screens laid out for the steps the work takes, in the order it takes them, with nothing on them the job does not need.
Works Offline
Keeps working when the internet drops, and catches up on its own when it comes back.
Wired to the Site
The app and the website read the same bookings, orders, and customers, so nothing is entered twice.
Talks to the Hardware
Receipt printers, barcode scanners, label printers, and card readers, driven from the program rather than from a browser tab.
Updates Itself
A new version arrives on its own, and nobody walks round the building installing it.
What It Is For
What a local business runs on a desktop.
Four jobs a program on the machine does better than a page in a browser.
Point of Sale
The ticket, the receipt, the drawer, and the day’s takings, on a screen that never asks anyone to sign in again.
The Workshop Screen
Today’s jobs, what is waiting on parts, and what is ready to go out, on the monitor in the bay.
The Back Office
Invoicing, stock, staff hours, and the reports somebody rebuilds in a spreadsheet every week.
A Kiosk
Check-in, ordering, or sign-up on a screen customers use themselves, locked to that one job.
Browser or Desktop
When you need one, and when the site is enough.
Most of what a business does runs in a browser. We settle which you need on the first call, before we quote anything.
The Site Is Enough When
The work is done from different machines in different places, and nothing on it needs a printer or a scanner.
A Desktop App Earns Its Place When
One machine runs the same job all day, the internet cannot be trusted, or the program has to drive hardware on the desk.
Time and Cost
How long it takes, and what it runs.
How Long It Takes
Longer than a website, because there is a program to build and a back end for it to talk to. You get the finish date in writing with the price.
What It Costs to Run
One fee to build it, paid once before the work begins, then a monthly to host the back end, publish updates, and keep it running on every machine. What moves the price is how much the program has to do.
The Rest of It
Everything else on offer.
Custom Website Design
Designed around your business, not a template.
Website Redesign
A site that stopped bringing work in, rebuilt from the frame up.
Booking and Online Ordering
Appointments, orders, and payment taken on the site. Part of the build.
Company Email
Mail at your own domain, set up with the site. The provider bills the mailboxes.
Ad Tracking Setup
The Meta Pixel, Google Ads tag, and analytics, installed with the site.
SEO and Google Rankings
Search work every month, inside the monthly rather than billed on top.
Hosting and Care
Hosting, security, backups, and changes any time, all inside the monthly.
Mobile Apps
An app on both stores, quoted as a project of its own.
Business Automation
The work you still do by hand, done by software instead.
AI Integration
AI put to work inside the site, the inbox, and the tools you already run.
