Services

What I do.

Four services. You give me the details of the business, I build it, put it online and keep it running.

Work

Sites and systems already running for businesses.

Shops, trades, realtors, lounges and importers — websites that bring in enquiries, and software that runs the day-to-day behind them.

TRADES

Handyman & contractor sites

Multi-step quote forms with photo uploads, so job requests arrive complete instead of as a missed call.

REAL ESTATE

Realtor websites

Buyer and seller pages, credentials and direct contact — one link for the billboard, the cards and social posts.

RETAIL

Shop & grocery sites

What the store carries, with photos, map, hours and tap-to-call, so customers arrive knowing what's in stock.

HOSPITALITY

Café & lounge sites

Menu, hours and photography that match the room, built for the phone people are holding when they decide.

WHOLESALE

Product catalogues

Dozens of products with sizes, categories and prices, ordered through WhatsApp, with prices the owner edits.

SOFTWARE

Inventory systems

Live stock levels, sales and returns, staff logins and full history — overselling blocked automatically.

SOFTWARE

Booking & enquiry tools

Forms that become records: bookings, quote requests and customer lists you can actually search later.

ONGOING

Rebuilds & rescues

Slow or broken sites rebuilt to load fast, keep their search ranking, and stop costing a monthly platform fee.

Live examples and client references available on request — ask below and I'll send links.

What I build

Three layers, all of them mine.

A website is only the top layer. Most businesses eventually need the two underneath: somewhere to keep the data, and rules for what happens to it.

I build all three, so your site can grow into a system instead of being rebuilt from scratch. A catalogue becomes a stock list. A contact form becomes a booking record.

About

Software that earns its place in your business.

Inventory dashboard built for a wholesale client — live sales, stock levels, low-stock alerts and daily orders, on the desk and in a pocket.

I'm a software developer based in Toronto who builds fast, custom websites and business software for small companies. I help businesses get more customers online and automate the everyday work — stock, sales, bookings — with simple, reliable software.

What that means for you:

  • Loads fast — visitors don't leave while they wait
  • Works on every phone — where most of your customers will see it
  • Almost nothing to host — no monthly platform fee
  • Nothing to break — no plugin updates, no surprise downtime
  • Easy to change — real code, not a locked template
  • Yours to keep — the code and the domain stay in your name

You don't need to know what you want technically — describe how the business works, in English or Amharic, and I'll turn it into something that runs. A photo of the shop, a price list on paper or a voice note is enough to start.

Every project is built for your business alone. No templates, no outsourcing — you work directly with the developer from start to finish.


How it works

Three steps, about two weeks.

You send the details

Photos, services or products, prices, hours, phone number. WhatsApp is fine.

I build a first version

You get a link in a few days. Tell me what to change — colours, wording, photos, anything.

It goes live

Domain connected, site online. Later updates are one message away.


Questions

Asked before every project.

I don't have photos or text. Can you still build it?

Yes. Most owners start with nothing written down. Send phone photos of the shop and the products, tell me the prices and hours in a voice note if that's easier, and I'll write the wording and edit the photos. You approve everything before it goes live.

What do you need from me to start?

Your business name, what you sell or do, prices if you want them shown, opening hours, address, phone number, and any photos you have. That's enough for a first version.

How much does hosting cost after launch?

A domain is roughly $15–20 a year. Hosting for a site like yours is usually free or a few dollars a month, and I'll set it up in your own account so the bills and the control stay with you.

Can I update prices myself?

For a catalogue, yes — I can build a simple editor so you change prices and stock without touching code. For a small site, sending me the changes is faster and cheaper than learning an admin panel.

Why not Wix, Shopify or Squarespace?

They're fine for a basic page. They get slow, they charge monthly forever, and you can't move the site elsewhere. A hand-coded site loads faster, costs almost nothing to run, and belongs to you. If a builder genuinely fits your case better, I'll tell you.

What if I don't like it?

You see the first version within a few days, before the second payment. Revisions are included until you approve it. If we can't get there, you keep the deposit's worth of work and we stop.
