“You own the code” is something I say about every project. But what does that actually mean?
What Ownership Means
- The source code is yours. You can download it, share it, modify it, or hand it to another developer.
- There’s no licence fee, no subscription, no lock-in.
- Your data is in a database you control.
Why It Matters
No dependency: If I’m unavailable, any Python developer can maintain your application.
No price increases: SaaS companies raise prices. Your custom software cost is fixed.
No feature removal: SaaS companies change interfaces and sunset products. Your software stays as you built it.
Practical Delivery
I deliver the source code via a Git repository. You get the application code, the database structure, deployment instructions, and a Loom walkthrough.

Send it over — I'll tell you what an app version would look like and what it'd cost. No obligation.
