Two kinds of work

Custom software.

Replacing the Access, VB6 or spreadsheet system your business still runs on with a web application you own. Fixed price, agreed before I start. Mostly manufacturers, mostly job tracking, quoting and inventory.

How a software project works

Websites.

A fast, plain website for a local business. Hours, phone, what you do, and a way to get in touch, built by hand with nothing tracking your customers. From $300, and often built before you pay anything.

Example Business

The starter every client site begins from. Home, services, gallery, about and contact pages, hours that show whether you are open right now, a map, a contact form that emails the owner, and structured data so the hours and phone show in search. Loads in under a second on a phone.

What you own

You own the source code outright. It lives in a repository you control, under your account, not mine. I'm a collaborator you can remove.

I build on a deliberately boring stack: Microsoft .NET, SQL Server, nothing exotic. Any competent .NET developer could pick it up. Deployment is documented well enough for a stranger to follow. When a project ends you get a handoff document, not a promise that I'll always be reachable.

The same goes for a website. The domain is in your name, and you get the files and the hosting account. More on what you own.
