Apps, websites and digital products — built in Northern Ireland
Tacocat Technologies builds custom software for small businesses across Northern Ireland: mobile apps, websites built to rank, and digital products that earn. Agency quality without agency overhead.
Services
What Tacocat Technologies builds
Apps
For: a business with a process that a spreadsheet, a WhatsApp group or a paper diary is currently holding together.
Native Android apps, built and shipped end to end — design, build, store listing, release. Fork It is live on Google Play and was built this way, start to finish.
You get: a working app in the store, the code, and someone who understands it.
Websites built to rank
For: a business whose website exists but never brings anyone in.
Hand-written, fast, technically correct: semantic structure, schema markup, geo-anchored for local search, with Google Business Profile and Bing Places set up properly. No page builder, no plugin sprawl, nothing to patch or renew.
Every site Tacocat Technologies has shipped is built this way — including this one.
You get: a site built on the things that actually earn rankings — speed, structure and local signals. Not a promise about position; nobody can honestly sell that. What Tacocat Technologies sells is the build quality that makes ranking possible.
Digital products
For: a business with knowledge, a tool or a process worth selling on its own.
Subscription tools, calculators, booking systems, members' areas — anything sellable that isn't an app or a site. Built on the same foundations, sold on your terms.
How it works
One person, working differently
I build with AI throughout — planning, code and testing — which is how one person delivers at a pace that normally takes a team. That's the whole reason a small business in Northern Ireland can get agency quality without agency overhead: there's no account manager, no handover between departments, and no one to bill for either.
What a build looks like from your side
- A conversation. What the business does, what's not working, what you'd want it to do instead. Email or a call — no forms, no sales process.
- A written scope. Exactly what gets built, what doesn't, what "finished" means, and what changes cost. Agreed before anything starts.
- The build. You see it as it goes, not at the end.
- Live, and yours. Handed over working, with everything you need to keep it.
Common questions
Questions worth asking
What happens if you're not available?
A fair question to ask any one-person business — so here's the honest answer. Day to day, your site doesn't depend on me being at a desk: it runs on a mainstream hosting platform with automated monitoring, so if anything goes wrong I know about it quickly. And in the rare case I'm genuinely unavailable, you're never trapped. Everything I build for you is yours — your site lives in a private code repository that can be handed to you or any other developer, your hosting transfers to your own account, and there's no proprietary system locking you in. Any competent developer could pick it up. Most agencies can't say that.
I'm a small business in Northern Ireland — is this affordable?
Ask for a price — it might surprise you. Tacocat Technologies has no office, no sales team and no account managers, and uses AI to do in days what traditionally takes weeks. Those savings are structural, so the work costs less without being worth less — agency quality without agency overhead. Flexible payment options are available.
How long does it take?
A website is usually days to a couple of weeks. An app depends entirely on what it does — that's answered in the scope, before you commit to anything.
What do I need to provide?
Your content and your time for the first conversation. If you don't have content, that's a normal starting point, not a problem.
Can I change things later?
Yes. Small changes are part of an ongoing plan; larger ones are quoted before they start. You'll never get an invoice you didn't see coming.
Do you only work with Northern Ireland businesses?
Northern Ireland is home and where most clients are, but the work is remote — anywhere in the UK or Ireland is fine.
Payment
Every project is priced individually, after the scope is agreed — never before. Flexible payment options are available. Ask, and I'll tell you what fits.
