Blueprint & Byte

Custom business solutions & software

Custom software for businesses running on spreadsheets.

If your operation lives in shared drives and five apps that don't talk to each other, we'll replace the juggling with one system you own.

The discovery call and proposal are free. You see the spec and the quote before you pay for anything.

What we build

Tools for the work your software doesn't cover.

Some of what we build, next to what it usually replaces. Yours might be one of these, or a mix.

  • Certification and compliance tracking

    What it replacesA spreadsheet and someone's memory

    What you getWho's certified, what's expiring and who needs a reminder, all in one place.

  • Job-site rosters and logs

    What it replacesClipboards and group texts

    What you getWho was on site, what got done and a record you can find later.

  • Scheduling and dispatch

    What it replacesThe whiteboard and a lot of phone calls

    What you getWho goes where and when, and the whole team can see it.

  • Client and employee portals

    What it replacesEmail chains and shared folders

    What you getOne login where people can find their documents and check status without calling.

  • Internal dashboards and reporting

    What it replacesThe report someone builds by hand every week

    What you getThe numbers you care about, up to date whenever you look.

  • Quote and invoice workflows

    What it replacesTyping the same job in three times

    What you getA quote that becomes a job, then an invoice, without retyping any of it.

  • Integrations and sync

    What it replacesCopying data from one app to another

    What you getData that stays in sync with Microsoft 365, OneDrive, Google Workspace, QuickBooks, Procore and Stripe.

Who it's for

Businesses with a way of working that's worth keeping.

We're based in St. George and happy to meet in person if you're nearby. If you're farther away, we work remotely.

  • Trades and construction

    Crews, job sites, certifications and paperwork that has to be right.

  • Training and certification schools

    Students, classes, renewals and records you have to be able to produce.

  • Healthcare and service businesses

    Schedules, staff and client details spread across too many places.

  • Any team that's outgrown its spreadsheets

    If one file runs the business and one person understands it, this is for you.

How an engagement works

Planned first. Built second.

You see the spec and the quote before you pay for anything.

  1. Step 01

    Free discovery call

    Tell us what's slowing you down. We'll give you a straight answer on whether custom software makes sense.

    You get: A straight answer

  2. Step 02

    The Blueprint

    It comes with the call, at no charge. We put what we discussed into a written proposal: a spec of what we'd build, with the quote at the bottom.

    You get: A written spec and a quote

  3. Step 03

    The build

    Once you sign, we build in milestones and demo as we go, so you see real progress instead of waiting for a big reveal.

    You get: Working software, milestone by milestone

  4. Step 04

    Launch and training

    We put it live and walk your team through it.

    You get: A live system your team knows how to use

  5. Step 05

    Hosting, maintenance and support

    A monthly plan keeps it running. When you want something new, we add it by contract addendum.

    You get: Monthly plan, new features by addendum

Why custom

Software that's yours.

Built by a developer with a BS in Computer Science and over 5 years in the industry.

  • You own it

    It's your software, not a subscription you can lose access to.

  • It fits how you work

    The software follows your process, so your team doesn't have to change it to suit a template.

  • No per-seat fees stacking up

    Hiring someone new doesn't add another monthly charge for every tool they log into.

  • Someone who knows the whole system

    The person you call built it and knows how it all fits together.

When it's not the right call

Sometimes an off-the-shelf tool is the better choice. If one will do the job, we'll tell you on the first call.

For the technical buyer

A modern web stack, cloud hosted, with secure authentication and backups.

Software we run

We run our own software, too.

Questions

What people ask first.

How long does a build take?

It depends on what we're building, so we won't guess on the first call. Your proposal spells out what we'd build, and the build runs in milestones with demos, so you can see where things stand.

Who owns the code?

You do. We build it for your business, and it's yours.

What if I need changes later?

That's normal. New features get scoped and added by contract addendum, so you know what you're getting before the work starts.

Can it work with the tools we already use?

Usually, yes. We connect with tools like Microsoft 365, OneDrive, Google Workspace, QuickBooks, Procore and Stripe. We'll check yours before you pay for the build.

What does maintenance cover?

The monthly plan covers hosting, maintenance and support, so the system stays up and you have someone to call. New features are separate and added by contract addendum.
