Custom software & web app development in Denver

I build custom web apps for Denver businesses: customer portals, booking and payment systems, dashboards, internal tools and SaaS products, from the first version to production. You work directly with the engineer who designs, builds and runs it, in English or Spanish.

Is it for you

When custom software is worth it

Your team runs on spreadsheets and copy-paste

Orders, schedules or reports live in spreadsheets, paper and email threads. One app with all the data in one place saves hours every week and stops mistakes.

Off-the-shelf software almost fits

You pay per user, use a fraction of it and still work around what it can't do. Custom software follows your process. For a dance studio I replaced a paid email tool with a campaign app the studio owns.

Customers need to book, pay or log in

Online booking, payments, memberships and customer accounts that work the way your business does. The platform I built for a dance studio has processed $51K across 864 transactions.

You have an idea for a SaaS product

Start with a focused first version that real users can try, then grow it. ScoreFlow, a real-time judging platform I built, ran a live competition with 21 competitors and 9 judges.

Platforms

Fully custom, low-code or connect what you have?

Not every problem needs a fully custom app. I recommend the simplest option that solves it and can grow with you.

Fully custom

Next.js, Node.js or Python on AWS or Google Cloud. Best for products, portals and anything with real-time features, payments or many users.

Low-code (Base44, AppSheet)

A working app in days when budget or time is tight, like the AppSheet inspection app I built that replaced paper across 100+ properties.

Connect your current tools

Sometimes the answer is connecting what you already pay for, with automations between your forms, CRM, payments and email.

Process

How a custom software project works

  1. 1

    Free first call

    You explain the process or the idea; I ask about the users, the data and what has to happen first. No cost and no commitment.

  2. 2

    Written scope and estimate

    Screens, data, roles and phases on paper, with an estimate for the first phase.

  3. 3

    First working version

    You get a working version early in a test environment, not a slide deck, and try it with your team.

  4. 4

    Build in short cycles

    New features arrive in small steps you review, so the app stays close to what your team actually needs.

  5. 5

    Launch and support

    Go-live with monitoring, then fixes and new features as your business grows.

Larger products ship in phases, so you use working software early.

FAQ

Custom software questions

How much does custom software cost?

It depends on the number of screens, user roles and integrations, and on how much has to work on day one. A focused internal tool is a smaller project; a SaaS product with payments and real-time features is larger and built in phases. After a free call you get a written scope and estimate before any work starts.

How long does it take to build a web app?

The first version is kept small on purpose so you can use it early. Bigger products ship in phases, so your team works with real software while the rest is built.

Do you build SaaS MVPs for startups?

Yes. I build the smallest version that proves the idea with real users: sign-up, the core feature and payments if needed, on infrastructure that can grow. ScoreFlow, a judging platform I built, ran a live event with 135 scores cast in real time.

Can you take over or fix an existing app?

Yes. I start with a review of the code, the hosting and the data, and fix what is urgent before adding features. In one live system I fixed a payment bug that gave customers two packages for a single charge, and cleaned up the affected records.

What technology do you use?

Usually Next.js, React and TypeScript for the app, Node.js or Python (FastAPI) for the backend, AWS or Google Cloud for hosting, and Stripe or Square for payments. The choice follows your needs, your team and your budget.

Do you support the app after launch?

Yes. Monitoring, fixes, security updates and new features, from the same engineer who built it, so you never have to explain your system to a stranger.
