Spectres Development
On par with today's tech standards — priced for businesses that carry the drive, not the cash.
It doesn't take a big-business budget to run like one. We design, build and operate the systems small and growing businesses run on — booking, payroll, e-commerce, dashboards and the infrastructure underneath. No per-seat pricing, no IT retainer that never ships, and you don't need AI to look like you've got it all together. They've got the cash. You've got the drive. We've got the tech.
● Groove Beauty Co — payroll live in production, booking & WhatsApp in development.
The work
Evidence, not a mocked-up portfolio — built for real businesses, running in production.
Case study · Groove Beauty Co
Two systems for one salon — and the client came back for the second.
Payroll live in production. Booking, website and WhatsApp in development. Built pay-as-you-go against locked milestones.
Read the case study →What we build
We build the systems small businesses need to stay current, priced for the size you are. No category fits what you need? Send us your vision and a written scope and we'll architect it.
E-commerce & payments
A storefront that sells, with payments wired in. Stock, orders and money that reconcile without a spreadsheet.
Booking, appointments & WhatsApp
A website, three-tap booking and a WhatsApp engine that brings clients back.
Payroll & contractor pay
Contractors submit once, payslips land as PDFs, nobody chases a spreadsheet by hand.
Operations dashboards
Internal consoles for the quieter parts of the business. Inventory, staff, reports that answer questions in seconds.
Infrastructure you own
Every modern system needs infrastructure underneath. Big businesses rent it from cloud providers and pay IT retainers to make it work. You get a private network and a real deploy pipeline, set up and operated for you.
A private network
Every machine your business runs on joins one encrypted private network. Staff work from anywhere; nothing hangs off the public internet.
Dev → prod deploys
Changes move through a test environment to live, with rollback when something misbehaves. No more "changed it live and it broke."
Identity & email
One sign-in across your whole stack. Mail leaves from your own address, not a forwarding shim.
Monitoring & backup
Know when a disk fills or a service drops before it costs you a day. Backups you can actually restore.
How we work
No jargon, no retainer games. Four steps from "I have an idea" to something running.
Tell us what you need
WhatsApp or the form. Plain language is fine; no spec required.
We scope it in writing
A fixed, itemised quote and a timeline before anything starts.
Pay as it ships
Billed against locked milestones. You see progress, not just invoices.
We run and support it
Live on infrastructure you own, with support built in.
Questions, answered
The things people ask before they start.
Small overheads, one client at a time, and we don't resell cloud or charge per seat. You pay for the work, not the layers around it.
You do. It runs on infrastructure you own, with no shared database and no vendor lock-in.
Support is part of the deal. We fix what we built; bigger changes go on a written roadmap so scope stays honest.
It depends on scope — a website or booking system is weeks, not months. You get a timeline with the quote.
No. Bring the problem in plain language. We handle the tech and tell you what matters, not what sounds impressive.
