Custom software, inspection systems & websites — Perth, WA since 2002
Most best-fit enquiries start with an inherited system, a spreadsheet-heavy workflow, an internal tool that no longer fits, or a bottleneck that needs a safer path forward without a panic rewrite.
Response target: within 1 business day.
Best starting point: send a short plain-language brief. No polished spec required.
Custom software / inherited systems
Best fit for messy workflows, business-critical systems, and takeover work after the original developer 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.
Choose the closest match and open a pre-filled draft. This is the fastest way to turn an unclear problem into a usable first brief.
Original developer gone
The system still runs the business, but ownership is unclear and changes feel risky.
Spreadsheet-heavy workflow
Staff are re-entering data, patching the process with emails, or relying on manual workarounds.
Existing internal system needs work
You need bug fixes, safer releases, new features, or calmer ownership without a rewrite detour.
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."
The best-fit projects usually already have a real operational problem attached to them. That gives us enough context to identify the safest first scope quickly.

That can still start here, but the better path is usually an IHTMaps workflow review rather than a generic software enquiry.
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.
