Hewnly

Hewnly · UK

I build simple apps for small businesses.

Booking systems, job trackers, staff checklists. The stuff you're currently doing on paper, in a spreadsheet or in your head. One fixed price, and it's yours to keep.

Why Hewnly exists

Most small businesses don't need a big agency, and they don't need another monthly subscription that almost fits how they work.

They need one tool that takes care of the job they're sick of doing by hand. Taking bookings while you're busy. Keeping track of jobs and who's paid. Getting new staff up to speed.

That's what I make. Built around how you already work, set up in your name, and handed over for good.

What I build

Booking systems

Customers pick a time and book themselves, day or night. You see it all in one place.

Job and quote trackers

Every job, quote, photo and payment in one list, instead of scattered across texts and notebooks.

Staff checklists and rotas

Opening and closing checks, onboarding, timesheets. Your team uses them on their phones.

Simple dashboards

Your numbers on one screen, so you're not digging through spreadsheets at 11pm.

Customer forms and portals

Order forms, enquiry forms, loyalty cards. The small things that make you easier to deal with.

Something else?

If it's a job you do the same way every week, it can probably be an app. Ask me.

Team app · cleaning company

Brightway Cleaning

How it works

  1. You tell me what's doing your head in. An email or a quick call. No tech talk needed.
  2. I send you a fixed price. That's the price. It doesn't creep up halfway through.
  3. I build it and you try it. Usually within days. We tweak it until it's right.
  4. I hand it over. It runs on accounts in your name, you get every login, and there's no monthly fee to me.

Prices

Agreed before I start. No hourly rates, no monthly fees.

A single tool

Questions people ask

I'm not techy. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Most people I work with aren't. You explain how your business runs in plain English, I handle the rest and show you how to use it.

How long does it take?

A single tool is usually ready to try within a few days. A full app takes a bit longer. You'll get a clear timeline with your price.

Who owns it once it's done?

You do. It's set up on accounts in your name and I hand over every login. No lock-in, no ongoing fee to me.

Do my customers need to download anything?

No. It works in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. You just share a link.

What if I want changes later?

Small tweaks straight after launch are included. If you want something new down the line, I'll quote a fixed price for it, same as the first time.

Got a job you're sick of doing by hand?

Send me a couple of lines about your business and what's slowing you down. I'll come back within a day with an idea and a price. No obligation.
