01 Work

Sites we’ve built.

  1. 01 Handy Hands 209 Booking marketplace · 2026

    A two-sided marketplace connecting customers with vetted cleaning and handyman pros: instant quotes, scheduling, automatic pro matching, card payments and contractor payouts, SMS notifications, background checks and a full admin. Built, launched, and handed over to the owner.

    • Next.js
    • Supabase
    • Stripe Connect
    • Twilio
  2. 02 Heirloom Windows Marketing site · 2026

    A historic window restoration company whose craft deserved better than a stock template. Custom coded so it loads instantly, reads properly on a phone, and needs no monthly platform fee to stay online.

    • Hand-built
    • Webflow embed
    • Core Web Vitals
  3. 03 The J Spot Band site · custom admin · 2026

    Gigs, music and booking, with a small custom admin so the band updates its own setlists and dates. No content management system to learn and nothing to renew.

    • Hand-built
    • Custom admin
    • Netlify
  4. 04 ZABS Place Nonprofit · concept · in build

    A thrift boutique and job-training nonprofit. The approved homepage concept for a two-site rebuild, designed to meet WCAG AA rather than merely claim it, and measured against the standard rather than eyeballed. Build in progress.

    Marketing sites

    The site most small businesses actually need. Custom coded, quick to load, and legible on the phone most of your customers will use.

  • 02

    Web apps & portals

    Booking, accounts, dashboards, payments. When a business needs software rather than pages, it gets built the same careful way.

  • 03

    You own it

    Your domain, your accounts, your code. No monthly platform fee to keep the lights on, and nothing that holds your site hostage.

02 The studio

A skeg is the fin that keeps a boat tracking straight — the quiet part that holds your course. That’s the kind of work we like to build.

A skeg holding course through moving water A fin holds one straight line without end while the chart it has crossed — the track behind it, its distance marks and depth soundings — streams away beneath it, and three drifting currents wander off line underneath. 12 18 24 31 37 33 28 22 17 13

Skeg Software is an independent studio. Most of the work is custom coded websites for small businesses — built by hand, without page builders or templates, so they load fast and stay yours. Alongside that we build our own software tools, the kind that handle the work in the background and keep things moving.

  • 01

    Runs quietly

    The best tools fade into the work. Skeg software does its job in the background and speaks up only when it matters.

  • 02

    Keeps things on course

    Set it up once and trust it to hold steady — predictable and dependable, day after day.

  • 03

    Small and focused

    Each tool does one thing well and leaves the rest alone. No bloat, no clutter, no learning curve.
