Off-the-shelf software is the right choice when your process is ordinary. Custom software is the right choice when the ordinary version would force the business to work around the tool. We design and build that second kind: scoped, documented, and owned by you.
What we build
- Business web applications Staff and customer tools in the browser: enquiries, jobs, approvals, schedules, and the records those actions create.
- Portals A private front for customers, branches, or suppliers, with only the actions each person should have.
- Inventory and stock Counts, movements, and availability that match how goods actually move through the business.
- Integrations Connections to point of sale, ecommerce, and existing content systems so the same fact is not typed twice.
- Content-managed sites with a system behind them A public website when the pages and the operation need to share one build. See also web design.
How a build is decided
The first conversation is about the work, not a platform. We look at who uses the system, what must be true on day one, and what can wait. You receive a written scope before build starts: inclusions, exclusions, and the order of delivery. Price follows that scope. There is no package on this page because the useful number depends on the operation.
Builds are shown while they are in progress. You review working software, not a slide of a future screen. When it is ready, we put it on hosting we administer, or on infrastructure you already run if that is the better home.
Who this is for
This is for owners and managers who can describe the process in plain language, and who want Capital Design accountable for the result. After launch, changes are quoted. Hosting, when we provide it, is a separate service.
