Start a project→When a siteisn't enough.
Customer portals, booking systems, subscription products. Accounts, dashboards, billing, and the admin screens your team lives in — often built on the WordPress data you already have, so there is one source of truth instead of two.
What the work covers
Six things, done properlyAccounts and permissions
Sign-up, login, roles, and the invite flows that let your client add their own team without emailing you.
Dashboards people read
The three numbers that matter above the fold, the rest a click away. Built from real queries, not mock data.
Billing that reconciles
Stripe subscriptions, one-off charges, proration, dunning, and invoices your finance team can actually match.
Admin screens for your team
The unglamorous half: search, bulk actions, exports, audit trails. Usually where the hours are saved.
WordPress and Woo integration
Read and write the store and content you already run, so the app is a new surface on old data — not a migration.
Handover you can hire against
Typed code, README, environment setup, and a walkthrough recording. Your next developer starts on day one.

How it runs
Four stages · no black boxScope
The one job the app has to do, written in a sentence. Everything else goes on a list for later, in writing.
Clickable shell
The real screens, real navigation, fake data. You use it before we write the back end.
Build in slices
One working feature end to end each fortnight, on a staging URL you can log into. No integration week at the end.
Go live and watch
Monitoring, error reporting, and a support window while real users find the things testing never does.
“We stopped running the business out of a spreadsheet in week six. The portal paid for itself the same quarter.”

Answered plainlySometimes you should, and we will tell you so. WordPress is excellent at content and commerce; it is a poor fit for per-user state, complex permissions, and real-time data. When those are the job, an app is cheaper to run than a pile of plugins.
Yes, and it usually should. We read orders, products, and customers over the API so the store stays the source of truth and nobody reconciles two systems by hand.
You do, from the first commit. It sits in your repository, on your accounts, under a licence with no strings.
A support window is included, then most clients move to a monthly care plan for updates, monitoring, and a set number of development hours.
No, and we build against it deliberately: standard framework, typed code, README, and a walkthrough recording. If you hire in-house later, they can pick it up.
