Platforms
No more copying work by hand between the website and the office.
What runs through a platform
The website and the back office in one system: what comes in on one side shows up on the other.
What connects to what
- Website to Back office: Whatever is sent through the website.
- Back office to Website: Openings, products and opening hours.
- Back office to Email: An alert for each request and each change of status.
- Back office to Spreadsheet: Lists for the accountant or anyone who needs them.
- Back office to Other systems: Invoicing, payments or the tools already in use.
Requests
Bookings, appointments or enquiries reach the back office with the right details and a status.
Orders
Each order moves from new to delivered, and whoever placed it knows where it stands.
Job applications
Each application arrives with the CV, ready to assess.
Client area
Each client signs in with their own account and finds what is theirs: requests, documents and statuses.
Access
One account per person, and each role sees only what it should.
Record
Every change is kept, with who made it and when.
How it works
Listen
How the work runs today, where requests come from and where time is lost.
Propose
What goes into the first version, the timeline and the price, in writing.
Design and code
Part by part: each one works with real data before the next one starts.
Stay
I show the system to the people who will use it and, after launch, fine-tune whatever daily use calls for.

Questions
How much does a platform cost?
There are no set prices. A platform’s price depends mostly on how many roles use it, how many steps each process has and how many outside systems connect to it. The first version can do only the essentials, with the rest added later.
Does the platform work with the systems already in place?
The platform connects to the systems already in place, if they allow it, without replacing them. I check each one before the proposal, and anything that cannot be connected is stated in it.
What happens to the data that already exists?
Existing data moves into the platform when needed, so it starts with its history rather than from zero. The move is part of the proposal, stating what moves and from where.
Is a platform charged per user?
No: the platform belongs to whoever commissions it, with no per-person licences. What can grow with use is the cost of hosting and third-party services, and the proposal names them.
Who is responsible for the personal data the platform holds?
Whoever commissions the platform is the controller of the personal data, and I act as processor under Article 28 of the GDPR. Both parties sign a data processing agreement, and backups are set out in the proposal.
There is an unfinished project. Can it be picked up?
Picking up an unfinished project depends on the code: I read it before the proposal, free of charge, and set out in writing what stays and what gets redone.
And when the platform needs more?
The platform grows in parts: small things by the hour or by the job, bigger ones with their own proposal.
A project starts with an email.
The type of project, a name and an email are enough. I reply personally on the next working day.
