Your custom app in Vigo, for the work you do every day.
What you now do with paperwork, spreadsheets and scattered messages, in a tool built around the way you work. I develop custom apps and software for companies, shops, schools and communities in Vigo and the surrounding area, which open on your phone like an app, with nothing to install.
The custom apps I develop for businesses in Vigo.
Clocking in and out
Clocking in and out on the phone, as the law requires, with the record ready to show whenever you need it.
Bookings, orders and jobs
Dashboards for bars, workshops and small businesses that currently jot down bookings and orders in a notebook or on WhatsApp.
SMS alerts
Automatic texts to your customers, members or students: an appointment, an order ready to collect, a reminder. Short, and sent at just the right moment.
Registers and records
Members, students, livestock, plots or stock: tidy records with photos and dates, instead of scattered spreadsheets.
Maps and GIS layers
Plots and woodland on the map. I import QGIS layers (Shapefile, KML or GeoJSON) and you check them on your phone out in the field.
Automations with AI
Sorting messages, preparing reports or translating without doing it by hand. Useful AI, built into your tool.
Who a custom app makes sense for.
A custom app pays off when a task comes round every week, several people do it and time or information currently gets lost along the way. If an existing program does the job as it is, I’ll tell you.
- Shops, bars and restaurants in Vigo that want bookings, orders or notifications without paying commission to a platform.
- Schools and academies that manage students, groups and waiting lists in one place.
- Small businesses with people out on the road: clocking in, job sheets and photos from the phone.
- Community-owned woodland, forestry and livestock businesses that work with plot maps and registers right there in the woods.
- Associations and organisations that text their members without doing it by hand.
How much a custom app costs in Vigo.
Every app is different, so there’s no fixed rate up front. There are reference prices, though, and each stage has its fixed price before we start.
| What you need | From | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Simple automation | €400 | A repetitive task you no longer have to do by hand. |
| SMS notice app | €720 | For members, students or customers. |
| Custom app in stages | Depends on the project | I suggest the smallest thing that solves the problem and we grow it in stages. |
| Hosting and care | €35/month | My own server, backups, updates and monitoring. No minimum term. |
How we build your app, in stages.
Listen
You tell me what you do and what’s eating up your time. If you’re in or near Vigo, we can meet in person.
The essentials
I propose the first stage: the smallest thing that solves the problem, with a fixed timescale and price.
Use and adjust
Your team uses it for real and, based on what we see, we decide the next stage together.
Look after
The app lives on my own server, with backups, updates and monitoring.
What people usually ask me about custom apps in Vigo.

How much does a custom app cost in Vigo?
It depends on what it needs to do. As a guide, a simple automation starts at €400, and an SMS notice app for members or students at €720, excl. VAT. It’s built in stages, each with a fixed price agreed before we start. Once it’s up and running, hosting and care come in a package from €35 a month excl. VAT.

What is a web app, and why not an app from the app store?
A web app is used in the browser on your phone or computer, with nothing to install from an app store. You can add it to your home screen and it looks like any other app. It’s cheaper to build and to maintain, and every improvement reaches everyone at once.
-
Where is the data stored?
On servers I run myself, not on third-party platforms. Everyone logs in with their own account and only sees what they need to, backups are automatic and the app complies with the GDPR. If it collects personal data, I sign the data processing agreement with you.
-
How do we start?
First I listen: what you do and what’s eating up your time. I suggest the smallest thing that solves the problem and we build it in stages, so you see results early on and decide at each step whether to carry on.
-
Can I use my QGIS maps in the app?
Yes. The app imports layers in Shapefile, KML or GeoJSON, the formats QGIS and most mapping software export, and shows them on the map alongside your own data.
-
Do you only work with companies in Vigo?
No. I work from Vigo with companies, communities and organisations in the city and the surrounding area, and remotely with clients all over Spain and abroad. If you’re nearby, we can also meet in person so I can see how you work.
Everything I do with apps, outside Vigo too, is on Custom apps. If what you need is a website, see web design in Vigo.
Which task takes up most of your time?
Tell me about it. Often a small tool is all it takes to get it off your plate, and I’ll tell you honestly whether it’s worth it. Monday to Friday, 9 am to 6 pm.
