Why Web Apps?

A web app is just software that runs in a browser. No downloads, no installation, no app store approval. Your team opens a URL and starts working.

For small businesses, web apps are practical because:

  • They work on any device (computer, tablet, phone)
  • Updates happen automatically for everyone
  • No software to install or maintain on individual machines
  • You can access them from anywhere with internet

What Georgia Businesses Are Building

The businesses we work with across Georgia are building tools specific to their operations:

Service businesses (plumbers, electricians, landscapers): Job scheduling, dispatch, customer management, and invoicing. Replacing phone calls and paper tickets with a system everyone can see.

Restaurants and retail: Online ordering without third-party commission fees, inventory tracking, and customer loyalty programs.

Nonprofits: Member portals, event registration, donor management, and board communication tools.

Professional services (accountants, consultants, lawyers): Client portals, document management, appointment booking, and automated follow-ups.

These aren't theoretical examples. These are real projects we've built or are building right now.

The Process

Here's what working with us actually looks like:

Week 1: Discovery. We meet (in person if you're local to middle Georgia, video call otherwise) and talk about your business. What's working, what's not, what you wish you had. No sales pitch. Just questions.

Week 1: Proposal. You get a written scope with exactly what we'll build, how long it takes, and what it costs. Fixed price. No surprises.

Weeks 2-4: Build. We build it in short sprints with regular check-ins. You see working software within the first week, not a month later. Feedback is easy to incorporate at this stage.

Week 4: Launch. We deploy, walk your team through everything, and make sure it's working in the real world. You get 30 days of post-launch support included.

Ongoing: Support. Optional monthly support starting at $300/month covers hosting, updates, fixes, and changes. Most clients choose this because it's easier than managing it themselves.

What It Costs

  • Automations and integrations: Starting at $500
  • Custom web applications: Starting at $1,500
  • Ongoing support: Starting at $300/month

Payment is 50% to start, 50% on delivery. You own the code.

Local vs. Remote Development

We're based in Georgia and work with businesses across the state. For local clients in the Milledgeville, Macon, and Lake Country area, we can meet in person. For everyone else, video calls work great.

The advantage of working with a local developer: we understand the market. We know that a plumbing company in Warner Robins has different needs than a tech startup in Atlanta. We build for real businesses in real communities, not theoretical use cases.

Why Not Just Use Wix or Squarespace?

Those platforms are fine for a basic brochure website. If all you need is a homepage, an about page, and a contact form, use Squarespace. Seriously.

But if you need:

  • User logins and accounts
  • Data that connects to other systems
  • Custom workflows specific to your business
  • Anything beyond showing information

Then you need a web application, not a website builder. Different tools for different problems.

Get Started

If your business has a process that's clunky, manual, or frustrating, it's worth a 20-minute conversation about whether a web app could fix it.

Book a free consultation or send us a message. We'll be honest about whether custom software makes sense for your situation.
