Custom software, inspection systems & websites — Perth since 2002
If the original developer or agency is gone, send the roughest possible brief. The first goal is to regain control, reduce risk, and move one useful improvement forward without a panic rewrite.
Response target: within 1 business day.
Best starting point: send a short plain-language brief. No polished spec required.
If the original developer is gone, the workflow is patched together with spreadsheets, or the system still matters but nobody feels safe changing it, do not overthink the brief. A commercially strong first enquiry usually only needs:
Low-friction start
Start on-page, send a pre-filled draft, or check the takeover support page first.
Email the brief
Best if you want to send the outline now and come back later with detail.
Use the quick form
Best if you want to stay on this page and send three details in one go.
Call about the system
Best if the workflow is urgent, fragile, or blocking current operations.
Custom software / inherited systems Takeover path
Best fit for inherited business systems, spreadsheet-heavy workflows, internal tools, and safer modernisation after the original developer or agency has gone.
IHTMaps inspection workflow review
Best fit for councils and field teams that need faster inspections, photos, maps, and reporting.
Website development quote
Best fit when the site needs clearer messaging, stronger enquiry flow, or calmer technical ownership.
You do not need a polished spec. A short plain-language note is enough to begin.
Fastest useful message: "Here is what is slowing us down, what must keep working, and what better should look like in the next 1-3 months."
Most high-quality enquiries here already involve a real operational risk or bottleneck. That is enough context to shape the safest first scope quickly.
Good first brief: "Here is the workflow or system that is slowing us down, here is what cannot break, and here is the first improvement we need in the next 1-3 months."

If the main problem is inspections, field reporting, or council workflow, the better route is usually an IHTMaps workflow review. If the main problem is website messaging or enquiry flow, use the website quote path.
If you only send one thing, send this:
"Here is the workflow or system that is slowing us down, here is what must keep working, and here is what we need to improve over the next 1-3 months."
That is enough to start a software takeover, internal-tools, IHTMaps, or website quote conversation.
Custom software
Internal systems, workflow tools, business process improvement, and calmer technical ownership.
Inherited-system takeover
Stabilise legacy software, reduce change risk, and add improvements without panic rewrites.
Website or IHTMaps
Use the same contact path for website development quotes or council inspection workflow reviews.
Lowest-friction option if you do not want to switch into your mail app first.
Three details are enough to start:
"The original developer has moved on. The system still works, but changes feel risky and we need help stabilising it while adding a few important improvements."
What you get back first:
Copy/paste brief template
You do not need to fill out every line. One or two concrete details is enough to start.
No hard sell. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you quickly.
