Full-stack and business

I develop applications that answer real needs: business logic, data, APIs and user interfaces.

  • Symfony, PHP and API Platform
  • Interfaces shaped for usage
  • Maintainable and scalable base

What does a custom application cost, and how long does it take?

The price of a custom web application or business software is simple to work out: a number of working days multiplied by a day rate. My day rate is €350–450 depending on the mission.

As a guide, here are orders of magnitude by project type, calculated from that day rate and a number of days, then rounded. The actual figure comes from a quotation prepared after a first conversation: an estimate without project knowledge is an unfounded promise. Amounts are net: VAT does not apply at present.

Audit or scoping before a project

Working days
3 to 8 days
Indicative budget
€1,000 to €3,500
Duration
1 to 2 weeks

First tool: one process, one spreadsheet replaced

Working days
10 to 25 days
Indicative budget
€4,000 to €10,000
Duration
3 to 6 weeks

Business application with roles, validations and dashboards

Working days
30 to 60 days
Indicative budget
€10,000 to €25,000
Duration
2 to 4 months

Application connected to other software (API, multi-party portal)

Working days
60 to 100 days
Indicative budget
€25,000 to €45,000
Duration
4 to 6 months
  • The number of days varies with roles and access rights, validation steps, existing data to migrate and tools to connect through an API. Scoping clarifies them before any figure is given.
  • A first version solves the main problem without covering everything. Dashboards, exports and advanced automations can come later.
  • The estimate request is not an order. After an initial discussion, the quotation describes the scope, deliverables, schedule and financial terms. A deposit may be requested at the start; the balance is paid according to the terms in the contract.
  • The durations above are guides. Your project schedule is stated in the quotation and is indicative: it may change if the scope changes, information is missing or external dependencies delay the project.

A FEW POINTERS

Frequently asked questions.

Do you work remotely with UK and Irish teams?

Yes. I work fully remotely with teams in the UK and Ireland. Distance does not change the method: structured kickoff, regular check-ins, documented deliverables and all communication in English.

Are you available for contract work in the UK?

Yes. I am available for freelance and contract engagements with UK and Irish companies, either on a project basis or for ongoing development work. I am based in Normandy, France, and operate on a remote-first basis.

Can you build a complex business application?

Yes. I can frame, design and build a business application with business rules, data, user roles, workflows, APIs and interfaces adapted to team usage.

Do you work with industry and local authorities?

Yes. My background combines full-stack development, industrial projects and territorial coordination. I am comfortable in environments where technology has to deal with human, business and organisational constraints.

Can you take over an existing tool?

Yes. I start by understanding the current behaviour, business constraints, user pain points and priorities before proposing an evolution or technical rebuild.
