Decorative site background artwork featuring Crawford Software Works branding. All key branding and page content is also provided as readable text on the page.
Website, app, desktop software and database services designed for real business use.
Modern business websites built for performance, trust and enquiries.
From brochure sites to custom feature-driven websites, we build responsive, fast-loading solutions that are easy for users to navigate and designed to support your business goals.
Custom mobile app builds and MVPs for business workflows and customer experiences.
We design and build mobile applications focused on usability, reliability and practical business outcomes — whether you need a client-facing app or an internal operational tool.
Windows desktop tools and internal software for business operations.
Need a custom program for staff workflows, reporting, admin tasks or data processing? We build desktop software tailored to how your team actually works.
Replace or modernise Windows 10/7/XP-era applications and migrate your data to a supported platform.
For security and cost reasons, we strongly recommend a new build for Windows 11 or Linux, then exporting and migrating your data (for example databases, spreadsheets and documents) into the new system.
Building for older operating systems often requires legacy toolchains and live testing on your machine, can be unstable, and usually costs far more than a modern rebuild plus data transfer.
If you want us to examine an older build, we charge £150 to confirm feasibility before quoting.
We recommend the right Windows 11 or Linux setup, help you choose hardware, and configure your system for secure everyday use.
Not sure whether you need Windows or Linux, or how to set up a new machine? We can do this for you.
We are trained in both Windows and Linux. We can recommend the best-fit option for your needs, advise on a suitable physical build/spec, and recommend trusted places to buy the hardware.
We offer a basic setup and configuration service for £100, covering the essentials (accounts, updates, drivers, core settings, and getting you online).
For best results, we also recommend security and cleaning/maintenance software to keep your system protected from malware/viruses and running smoothly. We can advise what to use and where to buy it at the best value.
If you need additional software (for example DVD authoring, office tools, or specialist utilities), we can recommend options we trust and help you source them at a good price. Where available, we can also check for legitimate discounts or coupons.
We recommend a cost-effective PC/laptop spec to run your new software smoothly, with trusted supplier links and no markup.
Need a suitable system to run your new software on? Yes — we can recommend the best and cheapest build/spec for your needs.
We are trained in both hardware and software. Our degree is in Computer Networking and we hold multiple industry certifications across hardware, software and systems.
For £50, we will provide a clear hardware recommendation (PC or laptop spec) based on what you need the system to do.
We will also provide supplier links at face value (no upselling). We commonly recommend mainstream suppliers such as Argos and Currys, and we can also suggest specialist suppliers we use ourselves for our own hardware.
You will need to factor in the cost of the hardware itself. We can either purchase it for you (at face price) or provide direct links for you to buy it yourself.
Structured, scalable databases for websites, apps and internal systems.
We design and build MySQL-backed systems with clear schemas, reliable data handling and a strong foundation for growth, automation and reporting.
Connect your website, app and database into one practical workflow.
We help bridge the gap between front-end user experiences and backend data systems so your business processes run more smoothly with fewer manual steps.
Managed hosting setup and ongoing website hosting support for business sites.
We can host your website and manage the hosting environment, updates and basic monitoring so your site remains fast, secure and reliable.
Ongoing improvements, fixes and feature updates after launch.
Launch is the start, not the end. We provide support and iterative improvements so your software keeps delivering value as your business evolves.
Ongoing support contracts for software updates, fixes and improvements.
Maintenance contracts provide structured support for bug fixes, updates, performance improvements and planned enhancements after launch.
These terms apply to custom website, software, database and support work unless a written quote or contract states otherwise.
A major change means a substantial change to the agreed design, functionality, structure, scope or code.
New features or scope changes are treated as additional work.
Because our services are custom-built and time-based, refunds are generally not available once work has started.

development of the platform's performance in the development of the platform's performance, the development of the platform's performance in the development of the platform's performance, and the improvement of the platform's performance.
Our main objective was to develop a backend that would ge more user friendly, and would develop a more optimal and efficient environment.
What improved (speed, security, inquiries, work flow)
Significant improvement was seen in the speed of the platform in the span of faster load times of the page and faster execution of the trades. The improvement of security made the transactions and the protection of the data more safe.
The process of inquiry was improved in the sense that the ease of the process made it easier for the users to obtain a prompt response.
Also, the internal workflow increased the ease of the process of onboarding and the ease of the process of controlling and the improvement of the control over the activities of the users.
Any results that you noticed
There was a notable increase in on the engagement of the users. Activity on the platform increased inquiries and the retention of the users improved.
Performace and security increased the trust in the users and they viewed Fluxtrade.cloud more as a professional and reliable trading platform”
Every project is scoped around an agreed brief so the work remains clear, practical and fair for both sides. Your first draft includes one free major revision if the agreed brief has been misunderstood.
Further major design, functionality or code changes are quoted separately because they affect scope, testing and delivery time. Cosmetic adjustments such as wording, spacing, colours and small layout refinements are handled within reason during delivery.
Bugs found during delivery or within three months after deployment are fixed free of charge, provided they relate to the delivered work and have not been caused by third-party changes, hosting changes or unauthorised edits.
Because our services are custom-built and time-based, refunds are generally not available once work has started. Deposits reserve project time and cover planning, setup and early work. If Crawford Software Works cannot complete an agreed service due solely to our own fault, any refund is limited to the undelivered part of the work.
