When this is the right answer
An existing product nearly fits, and the gap is costing you every week.
The real system is a spreadsheet, a group chat and three inboxes.
You want to offer your clients something nobody else sells.
You're building a product of your own and need someone to build it.
Something off the shelf would do the job once it's set up properly.
One of my fixed-price packs already covers it.
I'll tell you which on the first call.
What I build
Somewhere clients log in, see where things are and send you what you need.
The spreadsheet and the group chat, replaced with one place the team can trust.
Forms, checks and documents collected in one pass, with no re-keying.
Files gathered, checked and filed where they belong, with nothing lost in an inbox.
Two groups of people who need to find each other, agree terms and pay.
Something you can give, or sell, to the people you act for, under your name.
Proof
A women-only book club and reading retreat with around 3,000 members, which was running bookings on Google Sheets and its community on WhatsApp. I built a member portal where members join, book retreats, track what they've paid and meet each other. Welcome emails, payment reminders and tracking run on their own, AI keeps an eye on it all, and anything that needs a person goes straight to the team's phones.

A secure space where clients upload documents and see where their matter is.
A client area with their plan, their documents and a way to book reviews.
The first version of your product.
How a build runs
Thirty minutes to check the idea is worth building at all.
A scoped plan and a clickable prototype you can show people.
Built to a fixed price, and paid in three stages as it lands.
Further phases when you need them, and support to keep it running.
Why it costs less than an agency
what UK agencies typically quote for a simple tool or first version, and £30,000 to £100,000 for a customer portal.
Red Eagle, 2026My prices are lower because I keep the scope tight and because it's one person building with AI rather than a team to pay for. The trade-off is that there isn't a large team on call, which is why agreeing the scope carefully matters so much.
What you own
The code, the hosting, the database, the domain and every account. There's no lock-in. If we stop working together, or you hire your own developer, they pick up a documented codebase.
Data is stored in your own accounts, in a region we agree. Access is limited by role, backups run automatically, and a data processing agreement is signed before any personal data goes in. Anything the software sends to your clients can be set to need a person's approval first.
Price
Hosting, database and other running costs sit on your own accounts, at cost.
Lead times
I take on a small number of builds at a time.
