An example of the kind of build we do, not a client story. The persona is illustrative; the pain points are real in how this work actually runs.

Who

A man in his late 40s coordinating care for his 82-year-old mother with two out-of-town siblings: specialist appointments, nine medications, and a personal support worker three mornings a week.

The pain points

The medication list lives in his head plus a dog-eared printout that is always one renewal out of date. Every emergency-room visit starts with "what is she taking?" and every sibling text thread re-argues who is driving to which appointment.

He tried a medication app, but it was built for the patient's own phone, demanded a cloud account, and his mother will not use a smartphone. He refuses to put her health information in anyone's cloud.

What we would build

A Windows program on his own computer holding one master record of medications (dose, prescriber, renewal date), appointments, and care contacts. It prints a wallet-size current med list, a fridge-door weekly schedule, and a one-page handoff sheet for the support worker or a hospital, and pops up reminders ahead of renewals and appointments.

No account, no cloud. The file never leaves his computer.

A build like this would typically land around $700 one-time. Every real quote is fixed in writing after discovery, before anything gets built, and you see the tool working before you pay. How engagements work →
