Taking on new projects now

Custom software for businesses that outgrew the spreadsheet.

I'm Lachlan. I design and build websites, internal systems and SaaS products for businesses in Albuquerque and across New Mexico. Fixed quote, weekly progress, and one person who picks up the phone.

Example: a job tracker for a plumbing company. The data is made up.

What I build

Four kinds of work, one developer.

Tap any of them to try a working example. Each is built for a different made-up business and styled its own way, so you can see the range.

Back-office systems

from $6k

The spreadsheet nobody wants to touch, rebuilt properly. Jobs, stock, schedules and invoices, with a login for each of your staff.

Websites

from $2.5k

Fast sites you can edit yourself, with bookings and quote forms built in.

Integrations

from $1.2k

Your tools talking to each other, so nobody retypes the same order three times.

SaaS products

quoted

If other businesses in your trade would pay for your idea, I'll build the first version: accounts, subscriptions, billing and an admin panel.

Sample project

What six weeks looks like.

A made-up client, to show how a typical job runs. Real projects will replace this as they ship.

Plumbing company, 9 staff · AlbuquerqueIllustration, not a real client
  1. Before

    Jobs lived in a shared spreadsheet

    Two people kept overwriting each other. Invoices went out late because nobody could tell which jobs were finished.

  2. Week 1

    Scope and fixed quote

    One morning in their office, watching how a job moves from phone call to payment. Written quote three days later.

  3. Weeks 2 to 5

    Job tracker, built in the open

    The system at the top of this page. Technicians update jobs from their phones, and finishing a job drafts the invoice in QuickBooks.

  4. Week 6

    Launch and training

    Old spreadsheet imported, one hour of training, and a month of close support while the team settled in.

    I set it up, train your team and stay on call afterwards.
