Websites and software for Brisbane businesses.
Hand-coded websites at a fixed price, and custom software that replaces the spreadsheets and old systems slowing you down. You deal with Ryan, who writes the code.
What you get for $799
$799 for a complete, hand-built website. Then $30 a month for hosting and care, with no lock-in contract.
Sound familiar?
If any of these sound like your week, we should talk.
Your website is old and slow
It's slow on phones, hard to update and hard to find on Google. You know it's losing you enquiries, but it's never been the priority.
Your apps don't talk to each other
Xero, your booking tool and a spreadsheet, with someone copying data between them every day to keep it all in sync.
A spreadsheet runs part of your business
It started as a quick fix. Now it holds your client list, job schedule or quote calculator, and only one person really understands it.
Your last developer disappeared
Half-built project, no documentation and no replies. You need someone you can reach when something breaks.
An old system nobody can change
An MS Access database, an old WordPress site or a tool someone wrote years ago. It runs the business, but nobody dares touch it. Access 2021 support ends on 13 October 2026.
You just need a good website
Not every problem is complex. Sometimes you need a fast site that works on phones and shows up on Google. One page for $799, or up to five from $2,500.
What we build
From a $799 website to a full replacement for the system your business runs on. You deal with Ryan the whole way through.

Software engineering, small business prices
Small businesses often feel stuck between cheap offshore agencies that disappear mid-project and big firms with big-firm prices. Hireadev is a third option.
Hireadev is run by Ryan Brooker, a Brisbane software engineer. Whether it's a website, an MS Access replacement or a custom system, you deal with Ryan directly.
Websites have fixed prices. Bigger software projects start with a paid discovery, where we work out what you need and write a fixed quote. You keep the spec whether you go ahead with us or not. No surprise invoices, no offshoring, no lock-in. Want to talk it through? Call 0413 360 463 for a free 30-minute chat.
How we work
