Mike Will Fix IT, London
If you've ever thought "there should be a tool that just does this for me" - good news, there can be. I build custom apps and utilities tailored exactly to your needs, so you can get on with the work that actually earns you money.
You spend part of every single working day on something tedious. Maybe it's copying information from one place to another, renaming a hundred files by hand, keeping a spreadsheet that somehow needs updating in three different places, or sending the same type of email over and over with tiny changes each time.
You've had a look at the software out there, but nothing quite fits. One app does almost what you need but not quite. Another costs a fortune and has 200 features you'll never use. So you carry on doing it by hand, because that's just how it is.
It doesn't have to be that way. The thing you're doing manually, the repetitive bit that quietly eats into your day, that's exactly the kind of problem I love solving. I can build something that does it for you, built to your exact way of working, with no unnecessary clutter.
I create custom Windows applications: tools that do one thing, or a handful of things, really well. Not generic software you have to bend to fit your workflow. Something made specifically for the way you work, the files you use, and the results you need.
Things I build regularly:
Every single one is built from scratch around your requirements. No off-the-shelf template. No unnecessary features to confuse you. Just a clean, simple tool that does exactly what you asked for.
A custom tool isn't just a convenience. It has a real impact on your working day and your bottom line. When the tedious stuff gets handled automatically, you get that time back to focus on the work that actually grows your business or income.
Tasks that used to take an hour done in seconds. That time adds up across a week, a month, a year.
Less time on admin means more time on billable work, more clients, or simply a better quality of life.
Manual processes mean human errors. Automating them means the job gets done correctly, every time.
You don't adapt to the software. The software adapts to you. No learning curve, no confusion.
I keep this as simple and relaxed as possible. There's no lengthy brief to fill in, no complicated process to follow. Just a conversation.
Drop me a message or give me a call. Describe the thing that's eating your time in plain English. No need to know anything technical. I'll ask a few questions to understand exactly what you need.
I'll come back to you with a clear, honest quote. No surprises, no hidden fees. You might be surprised how affordable a custom solution can be, and I'll tell you straight if something isn't worth building.
Once we've agreed on what you need, I'll build it, test it, and walk you through how to use it. Simple as that. If you want anything tweaked, just say so.
Mostly people who are self-employed or run a small business and are spending too much time on things a computer should be doing for them. Tradespeople keeping manual records. Freelancers managing their own invoices and client files. Small teams running on spreadsheets that have grown into something out of control.
You don't need to be technical. You don't need to know what kind of software you need. All you need to know is what you want it to do. I'll handle everything else.
I've been doing this for over 17 years. I've built tools for all kinds of people in all kinds of jobs. If you've got a repetitive computer task that's getting in your way, the chances are I can fix it.
No obligation. If it's not worth building, I'll tell you that too.
Describe what you're trying to automate or the task that's slowing you down. I'll come back to you with honest advice and a clear quote.
