When your current system no longer fits
I can improve the software you already use, or build a simple tool for a task that is still being handled with spreadsheets, email, or paper.
When a system is slow, repetitive, or getting in the way, you shouldn't need to know the technical answer. Tell me what is frustrating you. I’ll help work out what needs fixing or improving, explain it in plain language, and agree the cost before I start.
Tell me what is going wrong or what you wish your system could do. You don’t need to know the technical terms.
I’ve spent more than 15 years helping businesses make their software work better. Maybe a task takes too long, information has to be copied between systems, or an old tool is holding you back. We’ll start with the problem you see, then decide together what will help.
I can improve the software you already use, or build a simple tool for a task that is still being handled with spreadsheets, email, or paper.
I can help reduce repeated copying, chasing, and data entry, so there is less busywork and fewer things falling through the cracks.
You’ll speak directly with me. I’ll explain your options, keep you updated, and make sure you know what the work will cost before I begin. Read client reviews.
I want the fix or improvement to keep helping after the job is done. I make changes carefully, explain what has changed, and leave clear notes so the next update is easier to manage.
I’ll listen to what is making your work harder, explain the choices in everyday language, and recommend a sensible next step. If a simpler solution will do the job, I’ll say so.
These are my standard rates. Before any work starts, we’ll talk through what you need and agree the time and cost, so you can decide if it makes sense for your business.
When software supports your day-to-day work, a change needs to solve the problem without causing a new one. I check my work, explain what has changed, and make it easier to pick up again later.
Some practical answers before you get in touch.
No problem. We can discuss a custom arrangement that suits your needs.
If things do not go as expected, I offer a full refund of the upfront payment. I only charge for work that satisfies the client.
No. We can usually agree what’s needed with a few clear messages and a call if it would help. I’ll keep you updated without adding meetings you don’t need.
The minimum charge is for a full day.
Janez is capable, reliable, dependable and very supportive. I run a small business in London and was looking for someone remote who could do the IT bits for me, setting up the back end for websites. I quickly felt I could trust him with my project. He delivered excellent results while helping me understand how it all works behind the scenes.
Janez is willing to go the extra mile, is patient, and makes the effort to understand the brief properly so the project is done correctly and as expected.
As ever with Janez. On this occasion integrating a content API feed with a PHP-based CMS that he had not encountered previously. Dealt with quickly and efficiently, great communication and understanding. Very highly recommended.
That’s what one client said after we worked together. I’ll take time to understand what you need, explain things clearly, and help you feel comfortable with the work.
Describe what is broken, taking too long, or missing from your system. A few sentences is enough, and you don’t need to know the technical terms. I’ll get back to you to talk through whether I can help.
