Custom software, built for you
Software that fits how your business works, instead of the other way around. ZIMONH builds custom web applications, business software and databases for small and medium-sized businesses.
Send a messageWhy custom?
An off-the-shelf package is built for everyone. That works, until your way of working doesn't quite fit. Then you start working around it: exporting, retyping into a spreadsheet, keeping the same data in three places.
Custom software does what you need, and no more. Your data is in one place, and the software follows your steps instead of the other way around.
What I can make for you
- A web application that runs in the browser, on your computer and on your phone. Nothing to install, no app store.
- Business software that brings your admin together.
- A custom website, when a standard website doesn't do what you want.
- Databases and reports, with SQL, BigQuery or ClickHouse, for dashboards and figures you would otherwise gather by hand.
- Fast search through lots of data, with Elasticsearch.
- Google Sheets integrations, when your team likes to keep working there.
- AI chat on your own information. See AI chatbot for business.
Who it's for
For small and medium-sized businesses. Maybe this sounds familiar:
- You keep the same data in more than one place.
- A spreadsheet has grown so much that nobody dares to touch it.
- Your package does almost everything, except that one step that costs time every week.
How it works
- You tell me through the contact form how you work now and what you want to change.
- Together we pick what comes first. Often that's the part that saves the most time.
- I build in steps. You try out what's there along the way and say what needs to change.
- The software goes live, and then grows with what you need.
Examples
Besides client work, I build my own products that are online. With Senewo you search the Netflix catalogue of every country by title, genre, audio and subtitles. apicost.app shows what a prompt costs with every AI model.
What Buurt Garage said about working together (translated from Dutch):
"...A relaxed guy, open to suggestions, and after only a few rounds back and forth we got where we needed to be, both in design and in tech. Great!"
Frequently asked questions
What is custom software?
Software made for one business, around the way that business works. The opposite is an off-the-shelf package: one program for everyone, and you fit your work around it.
What is the difference between a website and a web application?
A website mainly shows information. In a web application you do something: enter data, search, plan, calculate. Both run in the browser. A web application usually has a login and a database behind it.
What does custom software cost?
That depends on what the software has to do. There are no fixed prices on this site. Tell me what you need in the contact form and you'll get an estimate. It is often smart to start small, with the part that saves the most time.
What do you build with?
Usually Laravel and PHP, with Vue for screens that have to do a lot, and SQL for the database. BigQuery or ClickHouse for large amounts of data. If a regular website is enough, it can be WordPress too.
Something you want built?
Describe in a few sentences how you work now and what you want to change. A messy spreadsheet as a starting point is fine. I'll reply as soon as I can.
