The problem with generic software tools

  • Off-the-shelf SaaS tools charge monthly fees for features you don't use and lack the ones you actually need.
  • Generic platforms force your workflow to fit the software instead of the other way around.
  • Enterprise tools have enterprise pricing — and enterprise complexity — for what should be simple internal tooling.

What's included

  • Purpose-built web app in PHP tailored to your exact workflow.
  • Admin interface, user authentication, roles, and permissions built to your spec.
  • Database design normalized for your data model — not shoehorned into someone else's schema.
  • REST API endpoints for mobile app integration or third-party access.
  • Full source code delivery — no SaaS dependency, no monthly access fee.
  • Documented architecture so any developer can pick it up.

How it works

1

Discovery

Map the workflow, define the data model, and write the spec before a line of code is written.

2

Architecture

Data schema, API design, and auth model documented and reviewed before build starts.

3

Build

Iterative development with weekly reviews — you see real progress, not a big-bang reveal.

4

Launch + handoff

Full source code, database schema, and documentation delivered. You own everything.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of web apps do you build?

Client portals, booking and scheduling tools, internal dashboards, inventory management, custom CRMs, form-driven workflows, multi-step intake systems, and quote/invoice generators. If it involves users, roles, data input, and a database, it's in scope.

Can the app connect to my existing website?

Yes — this is a common pattern. The web app shares a database with the marketing site, or communicates with it via a REST API. The Studios side of ArdinGate also builds companion mobile apps that can extend the same back-end to iOS and Android.

How is this priced?

Web applications are quoted per-project after a discovery call. Complexity (number of user roles, data models, third-party integrations) determines scope more than line count. Simple internal tools typically start at $3,500; multi-role portals with API integrations start at $8,000+.

What if I need changes after launch?

All source code is delivered at launch. Ongoing changes can be handled on a maintenance retainer or quoted individually. Because the codebase belongs to you, you're not locked into any particular developer for future work.

Have an app idea you want to scope?

Let's talk through the requirements before any code gets written — I'll give you a clear timeline and fixed price.
