Websites and working software for small businesses

I run a translation bureau and wrote the CRM it works in. I build the same for others: a website that brings enquiries in and software that carries them through to payment.

Global Lingo Office

The in-house CRM of the Global Lingo Group translation bureau. It carries each order from first enquiry to handover, and the whole team sees the same picture.

Orders

Every order with its deadline, assignee and status. Search by client, document, language or receipt number.

The client gets a link and checks the status of their own order.

  • Orders under control

    Status, deadline and assignee on every order. Anything overdue shows at once.

  • Documents in place

    Scans from the built-in scanner and finished files are kept in the order card.

  • Apostilles

    A separate register by authority, with dispatch to the notary and return tracking.

  • Money

    Payments, invoices and acts, cash desk, expenses and reports.

  • Windows, Mac and browser

    Data syncs between staff, so everyone works from one database.

  • Backup every night

    An encrypted copy is made automatically.

Moya Domivka

A CRM for car rental. It brings the fleet, rentals and payments, the service schedule, repair history and the finances of each car into one place.

Service schedule

Service schedule by date and mileage: what is due now, what is coming up, what is on plan.

  • Fleet and rentals

    A card for every car: renter, dates, payments and deposit.

  • Service by date and mileage

    The system reminds you by whichever comes first.

  • Money per car

    You see what each car has earned and what has been spent on it.

  • One database for the team

    Runs in the browser, with separate access rights for staff.

  • Three interface languages

    Ukrainian, Russian and English.

Websites

Each site is built around one particular business: its own words, its languages and the way its clients book.

What I can build

A website

From a single page to a site with dozens of service pages. In several languages, with a booking form or a calculator.

A CRM or internal tool

Orders, clients, payments and documents, shaped to your process and not to a template.

Launch and upkeep

Domain, hosting, changes after launch. The site is not left unattended.

How I work

  1. Conversation

    I find out what you do, who your clients are and how they reach you.

  2. Prototype

    You get a working draft at a link. You see a site, not a description of one.

  3. Build

    Copy, photos, languages, forms. We revise until it is right.

  4. Launch

    I connect the domain and stay in touch for changes.
