Business Platforms for Growing Businesses
E-commerce stores, online booking systems, and membership sites — built on open-source software, which means you own the code outright and never get locked into a single provider.

What Makes This Different
You're in Control
You own your platform outright. No lock-in, no contracts. Run it yourself, or I'll handle the hosting for you.
One-Off Pricing
Prices start from a one-off £1,650 fee. No monthly subscriptions, no hidden costs. Self-hosted just means you own the platform outright — I'll set it up for you, and can look after the hosting at £75/month if you'd rather I run it.
Looks Like Your Brand
Fully customisable to fit your brand. No boring templates — your platform will look like it belongs to your business.
Full Documentation
Detailed how-to guides and video tutorials so you know exactly how to manage your platform day-to-day.
Face-to-Face Service
I'll come to you for requirements gathering and final setup. Or video call if you're further afield. Either way, a real person who knows your project.
Delivered on Time
10+ years of delivering software solutions means I know how to scope a project properly. Requirements are agreed upfront, costs are fixed, and you'll know where we are every step of the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on complexity. My base price is £1,650 for a simple store. More involved projects range from £3,000 to £6,000. I agree requirements upfront — costs won't change once we start.
Absolutely. You'll have full control to add, edit, and remove products, set prices, create sales, and manage orders. I'll provide documentation and video guides to walk you through everything.
Stripe (credit and debit cards) and PayPal. Both are integrated securely. Standard transaction fees from each provider apply.
I can work with existing platforms too. If you need a fix for an immediate problem, or want to migrate to something better, I'm happy to help.
Kind Words
"Luke designed our website, complete with online shop — we couldn't be happier. He is an utter perfectionist, and grasped our vision straightaway."

"Working with Luke was great. Every time I thought there was an insurmountable challenge Luke went away, did a bit of research and came back to me very quickly with a solution. I'm so impressed."
