Melbourne developer for small business
Websites, custom software and integrations without the agency runaround.
I am Arda Kara, a Melbourne .NET developer. I help Australian businesses build clear websites, improve custom software, connect systems and keep important SQL Server and .NET applications running properly.
Services
One service structure for the work businesses actually need.
Most digital problems land in one of four areas: managed websites, custom software development, system integration or ongoing .NET support. Different labels, one practical technical practice.
Managed websites
Small business websites that stay looked after.
Monthly web design, hosting, maintenance and updates for businesses that need a clear website without managing the technical side.
View managed websites →Custom software development
Business software for workflows that do not fit a template.
Practical .NET and SQL Server applications for quoting, stock, sales, invoicing, reporting and internal business processes.
View custom software →System integration
APIs, data flows and automation between business systems.
Ecommerce, warehouse, ERP, CRM and reporting systems can be connected so staff spend less time retyping and reconciling data.
View integration services →.NET application support
Support and modernisation for systems that still matter.
Bug fixes, SQL Server work, performance improvements, Azure moves and careful changes for legacy ASP.NET, WinForms and .NET applications.
View .NET support →How it works
First we make the problem understandable.
A lot of website and software work feels confusing because the first conversation jumps straight to platforms, plugins and technical options. I start with what the business needs to be easier, faster or safer.
01
You explain what is happening now
The rough version is fine. A broken process, a tired website, a system nobody understands, or too much manual admin.
02
I turn that into clear options
You get a plain-English view of what is wrong, what can be improved, what can wait, and what the sensible next step looks like.
03
We build or fix it without handballing
I do the work myself and stay available after launch, so the thing we build does not become another loose end.
Case studies
Proof from software, integration and support work.
These are generalised case studies from the kind of business-critical work I take on: internal tools, integrations, legacy systems and operational workflows.
Custom software
A quoting workflow moves out of spreadsheets.
Pricing logic, customer details, quote generation and production paperwork sit in one practical application.
.NET support
A daily operations app has someone looking after it.
Bugs are fixed, useful features are added, and the system keeps running instead of slowly becoming a risk.
System integration
Orders move into operations without retyping.
Ecommerce, customer and product data can be normalised and passed to internal systems with fewer manual steps.
About
A solo developer, on purpose.
I keep the practice small because the work benefits from direct ownership. You are not passed from sales to project management to a developer you never meet. If I take the project on, I am the person doing the work.
