From $3,500 + $150/mo
Custom software for the way your team works.
TMN Creative builds browser-based internal tools, client portals, dashboards, and integrations for service businesses and professional firms. We're a 2-person studio based in Fort Worth, Texas, and we work with teams nationwide.
Engaged on its own or alongside a website project. Scope, price, and ongoing support are agreed in writing before work begins.
What a custom web app can take off your team's plate.
A project may start with a spreadsheet, a shared inbox, or tools that don't connect. A web app can give that work a defined place to happen.
- Calculations done the same way every time
- Enter the inputs and the app applies your rates, rules, and formulas, so nobody retypes a formula or overwrites one by accident.
- A saved record for every job
- Each job, client, or request can be its own record that your team reopens, edits, and picks up where it left off.
- The right view for each person
- Staff, managers, and clients can each see the parts that apply to them, as agreed in scope.
- Fewer copy-and-paste steps
- Information entered once can feed a report, a document, or another system you already use.
- Works where your team works
- It runs in a web browser on a computer, tablet, or phone. There's nothing to install from an app store.
These describe what can be scoped. They are not results from a specific client project. This offer covers web apps that run in a browser. App-store distribution is a separate requirement to review before confirming scope.
Check what you have before building.
A better spreadsheet or a product you already use may be enough. We review the workflow, users, calculations, and records before recommending a custom build.
Starting with a spreadsheet? Read our guide to deciding whether it should become a web app.
| Option | When it fits | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Improve the spreadsheet | A small team uses consistent calculations and the work is straightforward. | Protect formulas, validate inputs, and keep a clear current version. |
| Use existing software | A product already covers the workflow with configuration. | Actual features, subscriptions, access, and the ability to export your data. |
| Build a focused web app | Your rules are specific, several people need the same information, or jobs need saved, editable records. | A defined first release, agreed calculations, access, recovery, and ongoing support. |
Decide whether existing jobs keep their original rates when prices change. Check the agreed calculations against examples with known answers before the tool is used.
Start with a first release your team will use.
A focused first version gets into daily use sooner and shows what the next version needs. We agree the first release in writing, including what it does, who uses it, and how we'll know it works.
In the first release
- The core workflow, start to finish
- The fields and records that workflow needs
- The calculations and rules, checked against your own examples
- Access for the people who need it on day 1
- The connections the workflow depends on, when the providers support them
Held for a later phase
- Reports and exports beyond the essentials
- Additional roles and permission levels
- Integrations that are useful but not required
- Nonessential exceptions with an agreed manual process
Essential access, exports, recovery, and exceptions that affect a quote or record belong in the agreed first-use requirements. Scope, price, and timing are confirmed in the proposal for your project.
Who handles verification, access, and data.
Software your team relies on needs clear owners. The proposal records these responsibilities for your project. This is the usual starting point.
| Area | TMN | Your team |
|---|---|---|
| Rules and calculations | Documents the rules you give us and builds them as agreed. | Confirms the rules and supplies example cases with known correct answers. |
| Verification | Tests against the acceptance criteria in the proposal. | Checks results against real work before relying on them. |
| Access | Sets up the roles and sign-in method agreed in scope. | Approves who gets access and tells us when someone should lose it. |
| Data | Builds the storage, imports, and backups included in the agreement. | Owns the business data and decides what goes in and who can see it. |
| Legal and regulatory duties | Builds the agreed features and settings. | Remains responsible for its legal, privacy, and industry obligations. TMN does not certify compliance. |
Support and ownership are agreed up front.
A web app needs hosting, monitoring, and occasional changes after launch. We price that care separately from the build, so you can see both before you commit.
- Hosting and care
- Ongoing hosting, monitoring, backups, and support are described and priced in the proposal.
- Changes after launch
- New features are scoped and quoted before work begins.
- Your data
- Client data and your business data remain yours.
- Code and licensing
- Ownership of the code and any licensing follow the signed agreement for your project.
Published starting scopes for dashboards and platforms.
These 2 packages cover defined dashboard and operations platform builds. They are not a price for every web app. Other software projects are quoted around their agreed requirements.
Full Operations Platform
Multiple workflows such as pipeline, tasks, billing, and reporting, for up to 10 team members with role access.
From $7,500 + $297/mo

TMN Flow is our published offer of branded intake pages for healthcare practices, connected to a practice's existing workflow. It shows how we approach connections between tools. It is not a custom internal tool or a client result.
Questions before you start.
Fit, scope, and working together.
Can you build an iPhone or Android app?
This offer covers web apps that run in a browser on computers, tablets, and phones. If app-store distribution is a requirement, we review it before confirming scope.
Do we need a new website as well?
No. Software projects can be engaged on their own. If you also want a website, both can be scoped together in 1 proposal.
Can it work with the software we already use?
Often, when the provider offers a supported way to connect and your account has the needed permissions. We confirm that before quoting.
Do you only work with Fort Worth businesses?
No. We're based in Fort Worth, Texas, and work with teams across the United States over video calls, email, and shared documents.
How is a custom project priced?
Around the agreed first release, its users, data, and connections. Hosting and care are priced separately. You'll see both in writing before work begins.
What should we send first?
A short description of the work, who does it, and what you use today. Please leave confidential client records, passwords, and financial data out of the inquiry form. A blank template or a scrubbed sample is enough to start. A few calculation examples with known answers also help define the first release.
Tell us how the work gets done today.
Describe the work, who does it, and the tools you use now. We'll tell you whether better use of what you have or a custom web app makes more sense.
Trevor and Taylor review your inquiry. Scope and next steps are confirmed before work begins.
