About me

Off-the-shelf software never fit how I needed to work — so I built my own, to run The Maine Cleaning Company.

Now I build websites, apps, and workflows for people tired of cookie-cutter tools. Whatever you dream up, we build it, connect it, and make it work exactly how you do.

The part I love most is dreaming things up and connecting the pieces — right here on the Maine coast.

Services

What we can build.

If you can picture it, we can build it — shaped around how you actually work.

Websites & web apps

More than a marketing site — booking, client portals, member areas, dashboards. Real web apps, not templates (and not bloated native apps). Fast, custom, and yours.

Custom tools & dashboards

The software behind the scenes — booking apps, CRMs, dashboards, quoting tools — built around how you run.

Automation & AI agents

Automations and AI agents that handle the busywork — intake, follow-ups, drafting, and triage — with you in control.

Integrations

Make the tools you already use talk to each other, so the data moves itself and nothing gets double-entered.

The promise

How we work with you.

You own it.

Every file, database, hosting key, and login is yours. No lock-in by design.

One-day replies.

A real answer within 24 hours — never a drip campaign, never a sales sequence.

Fixed price, no creep.

Scope is quoted upfront. Change orders get their own honest quote — no surprise bills.

Built to leave.

Even the Care Plan is month-to-month. Walk away with the whole build any time.

Workflow

Your tools, wired into one workflow.

Automation in one picture: what flows in, where it lands, who gets pinged. Pick what you use — see what becomes possible.

Approach

No black boxes. You steer the whole build.

You see the work as it takes shape, change course whenever, and walk away owning it. No dependency by design.

01

Discovery

It starts with how you actually run—where time goes, where data lives, what keeps breaking.

02

Design

The system gets mapped around that: data, flow, screens. Nothing is built until you sign off.

03

Build

It comes together in small, working pieces you can poke at as they land. You steer throughout.

04

Iterate

Then it's tuned against real use, handed over, and supported as it grows. No lock-in.

FAQ

Common questions.

How long does a Starter site take?
Two to three weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger builds get their own timeline once we scope them.
Do you work with clients outside Maine?
Yes. We're based in Portland but build for clients everywhere — video calls, shared docs, and async carry the rest.
Do I own the code?
Always. Files, database, hosting keys, domain — everything is yours from day one. No lock-in by design.
What if I need changes later?
Small edits are covered by the Care Plan. Bigger scope gets its own fixed-price quote — no surprise creep, no monthly-hour math.
How is this different from Squarespace or Wix?
A Starter site is a real custom build, designed around how you actually work. Templated builders can't add features they weren't shipped with. Ours can — and does.
What happens if I outgrow the Care Plan?
We scope the next build fresh. Your existing site keeps running until the new one launches — no interruption, no forced migration.
