Request Custom Software: Describe It, We’ll Build It
Any kind of software, built for you: a desktop app for Windows or Mac, a web app, an iPhone or Android app, a portal, an automation, an AI assistant, kiosk software, a plugin or a game. Describe what you need in plain words. We reply within one business day with questions, a plan and a fixed quote.

Describe the software you need
Write it the way you’d explain it to a friend. These help us understand it faster, but answer only what you know:
- What problem it should solve, and what happens today instead (paper, a spreadsheet, an old program)
- Who will use it (you, your staff, your customers or the public) and roughly how many people
- What it should do, step by step, the way you’d explain it to a new employee
- Where it should run: Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, a web browser or a touchscreen
- What it needs to connect to, like QuickBooks, Shopify, Google Sheets, your website or a machine
- Anything you already have: notes, sketches, screenshots of apps you like, a spreadsheet
- Your budget and timeline, if you know them. “Not sure” is a fine answer.

Custom software or off the shelf?
| What matters | Off-the-shelf software | Custom software |
|---|---|---|
| Fits how you work | You change your process to fit it | Built around your process |
| What you pay | Per person, per month, for as long as you use it | A fixed price to build, then optional care |
| Who owns it | The vendor | You: the code, the data and the accounts |
| Connects to your other tools | Only what the vendor supports | Whatever you need it to |
| Ready to use | Today | A first version in days or weeks |
| Best when | It’s a common job many businesses share | Your process is your edge, or nothing fits |
If an existing product already does most of what you need, we’ll say so and help you set it up instead.

Questions
Do I need to know the technical terms?
No. Describe it the way you’d explain it to a friend: what bugs you today and what you wish happened instead. Working out the right technology is our job.
What kinds of software can you build?
Desktop apps for Windows and Mac, web apps, iPhone and Android apps, portals, dashboards, automations, integrations, AI assistants, kiosk software, plugins and games. If it can be built, we’ll tell you how and what it would take.
How much does custom software cost?
It depends on what it does. Small automations start at a few hundred dollars, internal tools and portals at a few thousand, and full apps and platforms more. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no hourly surprises.
How long does it take?
Small tools and automations often take days. Most apps and portals take one to four weeks. Bigger platforms take longer, and we build them in stages so you can use the first useful version early.
Who owns the software?
You do. The code, the data and the accounts are yours, and you can take them to another developer at any time.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. We can sign a mutual NDA before you share the details, and we treat every request as confidential either way.
Can you fix or finish software someone else built?
Yes. We take over half-finished projects, AI-built prototypes that stopped working and old programs nobody can update. We start with an honest review of what to keep and what to rebuild.
Can I sell the software you build for me?
Yes. You own it, so you can sell it, license it or build a business on it. We can also set up payments, licensing and app store listings.
What happens after launch?
You can run it yourself with the documentation we hand over, or keep us on a care plan for updates, hosting, backups and new features.
Do you only work with businesses?
Most projects are for businesses, but schools, nonprofits, towns and individuals ask too. Wisconsin is home, and we build for clients nationwide.
