Custom web app development for small businesses in Quebec

A custom web app is software that runs in a browser and is designed around the way you work. It contains only what your team needs: your fields, your steps, your reports.

It works on a computer, a tablet or a phone, with nothing to install. Everyone works in the same up-to-date version.

A small business needs a custom app when its current tools cost it time every week. The most common signs:

• A shared spreadsheet has become essential, and everyone is afraid of breaking it.
• The same information is typed in two places.
• Client requests get lost in email.
• Off-the-shelf software forces you to work around its limits every day.
• A report takes hours to put together by hand.

I mostly build management tools for teams of 5 to 50 people. The most requested:

• A portal where your clients follow their files and upload documents.
• Tracking for orders, work orders or job sites.
• Quotes that calculate themselves and get signed online.
• Appointment booking with text reminders.
• A dashboard that gathers your key numbers.
• An AI assistant connected to your documents.

The cost of a custom web app is split into two amounts, both known before we start. The first is a fixed price for the build, paid once. The second is a monthly subscription that covers hosting, backups, security and your change requests.

The price depends on what the app needs to do. I give you both amounts in writing after our first meeting, and they do not change along the way.

Most small apps are live within a few weeks. The exact timeline is written in the quote, and you try the app while it takes shape instead of discovering it at the end.

Off-the-shelf software is the right choice when it already does what you need. If that is your case, I will tell you.

Custom becomes worth it when you pay for features nobody uses, when your team works around the tool every day, or when no product fits your trade.
