Stop running your business on spreadsheets.
We build the thing that replaces them.

Most of the businesses we work with run on a stack of spreadsheets only one or two people understand. We replace that with one system, built around the way the work already moves. You get a fixed quote before we start, and the code and the data are yours.

No sales pitch. If we're the wrong fit, we'll say so.

The same five jobs, twice

Same five jobs, same five columns. On the left it is a file someone has to remember to save; on the right it is a system that knows a job is waiting on parts. Switch it yourself.

Ownership

The code and the data are yours, handed over in full with an export for everything.

Price

The price is agreed in writing before any code is written.

Support

You deal with someone who knows your system, not a ticket queue and not a different person each time.

What does a small business actually get?

Where the work goes Live
An enquiry becomes a quote, a quote becomes a job, and the numbers only get typed once.

A system built around your process

Not a template with your logo on it. We start from how the work moves through your business today, then remove the parts a person shouldn't have to do.

A fixed price, agreed in writing

Scoping separates what you need from what you want. The quote covers the first, and you decide about the second later.

Somewhere to go when we're gone

Plain documentation, standard tooling and an export for everything. If you want to hire someone else to take it on, nothing stops you.

Four steps, and you can stop after the second.

Scoping is where most of the thinking happens. You get the fixed price at the end of it, and you are free to walk away with the document.

How we work →

  1. You tell us what the problem is

    In your own words. No spec document required, and no charge for the conversation.

  2. We scope it and quote a fixed price

    Written down, with a completion date. Nothing changes later without your say-so.

  3. We build it, and you see it as it goes

    Daily backups from the first day, and a working version you can log into early.

  4. Handover, then a 30-day bug-fix warranty

    The code, the data and the documentation, plus a month of fixes at no extra cost.

Already shipped, and running now

Got a good idea for a business but not the technical side?

We are looking to partner with people who have something worth building and no way to build it. You run the business. We take care of the technical side: the software, the website, the hosting, the parts that usually stop an idea getting off the ground.

This is a partnership rather than a job we quote for, so the terms depend on the idea and what each side is bringing. If that sounds like the position you are in, tell us about it and we will have an honest conversation about whether it works for both of us.

Tell us about your idea

You bring

The idea, and the knowledge of the trade or market it belongs to. Customers, suppliers, the reason it will work.

We bring

The software, the website, the hosting and the maintenance. Someone to ask when a technical decision needs making.

What happens first

A conversation, at no cost and with nothing signed. We are as interested in finding out it is the wrong fit as the right one.

Need a website rather than a system?

We design and host websites for small businesses on our own platform. Every one is built to be found, and the parts most sites bolt on afterwards are already there.

webdesign.lightmorphic.com

Built to be found

Search engines and AI assistants are both sources of new customers now. Every site is built to be read cleanly by both, not fixed up for search after the design is finished.

A chat bubble that answers questions

It knows what your business does and what it costs, so visitors get an answer at eleven at night instead of a contact form.

Newsletter and signup built in

Collect addresses on any page and send to the list from the same place. The list is yours to export whenever you want.

Enquiries land in your inbox, and the traffic figures come without cookie banners or tracking anyone.
