Developer-led PHP/MySQL systems for businesses that need custom admin panels, dashboards, databases, enquiry tracking, portals and workflow automation.
Technical specialism: PHP/MySQL
This page is for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets, disconnected forms or manual admin.
It is a good fit for businesses that need a clean custom tool rather than a template website.
The technical focus is practical PHP/MySQL development, clean maintainable code and business systems that can be understood and extended later.
Developer-led, not an agency package
Crawford Software Works is a developer-led business based in Central Scotland. Andrew Crawford works directly on websites, WordPress builds, PHP/MySQL systems, admin panels, dashboards, databases and workflow tools.
The aim is to give small businesses a proper online presence from around £500 when the brief is compact, while still supporting larger custom builds when the project needs more technical depth.

What can be included
Each project is scoped around the business need. A compact small-business website can stay affordable, while more advanced tools can be added when there is a clear reason.

Pricing position
Small-business websites can start from around £500 when the scope is compact and clear. WordPress is often a sensible lower-cost option for service pages, blogs, galleries and simple editing.
Clean custom websites and PHP/MySQL systems usually start higher because they include more planning, coding, testing and future flexibility. Larger builds can be staged so the business is not forced into everything at once.
Not a generic agency package
Crawford Software Works is not trying to be a full-service marketing agency. The strength is practical web design, WordPress, PHP/MySQL development, databases, dashboards, admin panels, booking/enquiry flows and automation.
That makes it suitable for small business websites and for more technical custom jobs where the website needs to become a working business tool.
