Custom software & websites

Your business isn’t a template. Your software shouldn’t be either.

I build custom software around the way your company already works, from internal tools and client portals to the website your customers see.

Owner-led and veteran-owned. Charleston, South Carolina.

What I build

Custom systems for companies that have outgrown spreadsheets, email chains and off-the-shelf tools, and the website, materials and care around them.

Work slips between your tools.

Follow one request through a typical week, and what it costs.

  1. Intake Monday, 9:12 AM

    It arrives by email.

    Talvane Freight needs a quote for a network refresh across three sites, due Thursday, November 12. So far, a normal Monday.

  2. Intake Monday, 9:40 AM

    Then someone retypes it.

    The details get copied into the tracker by hand. The due date goes in as 11/21. Nobody catches it.

  3. Assign Tuesday

    The real deadline lives in one person’s head.

    Dana says she has it and will remember the 12th. The only record is a chat message.

  4. Price The next Monday

    Dana is out. The work waits.

    Her notes are on her laptop, and the tracker says there’s plenty of time. The 12th comes and goes.

  5. Approve Six months later

    An auditor asks who approved the price.

    The answer is somewhere in three inboxes, a chat thread and four versions of the quote.

Then the scattered tools become one system.

Every step of the quote gets a place on one record, including the approval that never had one. The cost starts over at zero.

Then the same week runs again.

  1. Intake Monday, 9:12 AM. Captured once, with the real due date.
  2. Assign Monday, 9:40 AM. Dana owns it. Sam is her backup.
  3. Price The next Monday. Dana is out. Sam has it.
  4. Approve Wednesday, 3:30 PM. The approval is on the record.
  5. Send Wednesday, 4:10 PM. Sent a day early.

Time on this request: 8 h before, 5 min with the quote desk. Example data

The studio runs on systems it built.

Some systems stop costly mistakes. Others just make a process faster and easier to run. These are the ones I use myself.

Emberwright Pipeline

A custom CRM built around how I find and follow up on work. Every lead carries a next action and a date, so nothing waits on memory.

PipelineBoardTodayExample data
The real Emberwright Pipeline on example data. Each lead shows its company, its contact, its stage and its next action with a date, for example Gresvale Services, Nadia V.: reply to the intake form, today.

You talk to the person who builds it.

I map the work, design the system, build it and support it after launch. No account managers, and no handoffs between sales and engineering.

Emberwright Studio LLC is veteran-owned.
