Services

Software built around your business.

Every business has different goals, workflows, and constraints. We design each solution around those realities instead of forcing the work into a predefined package.

Our approach

Start with the business. Then decide what to build.

Good project decisions come from a clear understanding of the work, not from selecting technology first.

01
Understand before prescribing
We learn how your business works, where the friction is, and what a useful outcome looks like before recommending technology.
02
Choose the simplest effective path
The right answer may be a focused website, an integration, an internal tool, or a larger custom system. Scope follows the problem.
03
Build for real-world use
Accessibility, performance, maintainability, and clear communication are part of delivery from the beginning, not added at the end.

Service details

The right form depends on the problem.

These services often overlap. We define the engagement around the business outcome rather than separating useful work into rigid packages.

Websites

A website is the public foundation of your business online. We plan, design, and build clear, fast websites that explain your value and make the next step easy for the right visitor.

Useful when

Your current site no longer reflects the quality of the business.
Customers struggle to understand your services or contact you.
Performance, accessibility, or content updates have become difficult.

Expected outcomes

A credible and focused public presence.
Clearer service and conversion paths.
A maintainable foundation for future content and features.

Custom software

Custom software supports a process that off-the-shelf products cannot serve well. We design applications around the people, rules, and information that make your operation distinct.

Useful when

Existing software forces your team into the wrong workflow.
Several disconnected tools are needed to complete one process.
A business-specific capability has become important to growth.

Expected outcomes

A system shaped around the work your team already understands.
Fewer compromises and disconnected handoffs.
A maintainable platform that can evolve with the business.

Internal tools

Internal tools give teams a focused place to manage recurring operational work. They can replace fragile spreadsheets, repeated data entry, and processes that depend on one person's memory.

Useful when

Important work is coordinated across spreadsheets and inboxes.
Staff repeat the same administrative steps every day.
Status, ownership, or process history is difficult to see.

Expected outcomes

Clearer day-to-day workflows and responsibilities.
Less duplicate entry and fewer avoidable errors.
Operational knowledge captured in a dependable system.

Dashboards

Dashboards turn dependable source data into a useful view of the business. We focus on the questions people need to answer, not on filling screens with charts.

Useful when

Reports are rebuilt manually from several sources.
Teams disagree about which numbers are current or correct.
Important decisions depend on information that arrives too late.

Expected outcomes

A shared view of the metrics that matter.
Less time spent assembling recurring reports.
Clearer decisions supported by traceable data.

Automations

Automation connects repeatable steps so routine work happens consistently. We automate carefully, keeping review and human judgment wherever they still add value.

Useful when

Information is copied between systems by hand.
Routine follow-ups or handoffs are easy to miss.
A high-volume process consumes time without requiring judgment.

Expected outcomes

Fewer repetitive tasks and manual handoffs.
More consistent processes with visible failure handling.
More time for work that benefits from human attention.

Cloud & data

Cloud and data work provides the foundation behind reliable applications, integrations, and reporting. We design infrastructure and data flows to match the current system and its realistic next stage.

Useful when

Systems need a more dependable deployment foundation.
Business data is scattered, duplicated, or difficult to use.
Applications, integrations, and reporting need to work together.

Expected outcomes

Infrastructure that is easier to operate and understand.
Cleaner data movement between business systems.
A practical foundation for applications and reporting.

Why custom software

Useful when the business should shape the tool.

Custom software is not automatically the best answer. It becomes valuable when existing products create recurring compromises or when a distinct workflow matters to how the business operates.

Fits the workflow instead of requiring workarounds.
Removes repeated steps where automation is genuinely useful.
Keeps ownership and maintenance decisions visible.
Can grow in deliberate stages as requirements become clearer.
Prioritizes the business outcome over a vendor's feature list.

Technologies

Proven tools, selected for the project.

Technology choices follow the requirements, existing systems, team, budget, and maintenance needs. We use modern tools where they provide a clear practical advantage, not because they are fashionable.

Interfaces

Next.js, React, TypeScript

Accessible, responsive websites and application interfaces.

Applications

Node.js, Python

Business logic, integrations, automation, and background work.

Data

PostgreSQL

Structured application data and dependable reporting foundations.

Infrastructure

Cloudflare, AWS

Hosting and cloud services selected for the needs of the system.

Common questions

What to expect before a project begins.

Do you only build websites?: No. Websites are one part of the work. Alderwood also builds custom applications, internal tools, dashboards, automations, cloud systems, and data workflows.
Can you improve existing software?: Yes. We can assess an existing system, identify the most useful improvements, and work within the current codebase when that is the responsible approach.
Do you provide ongoing support?: Yes, when it fits the project. Support may include maintenance, updates, monitoring, or continued development, and is scoped clearly rather than assumed.
How do projects typically begin?: We start with a conversation about the business, the current problem, constraints, and goals. If there is a good fit, the next step is a clear proposal covering scope, timeline, and pricing.
