Websites and software for businesses that make, maintain and fly things.
I'm Rob Valentine. I build websites, customer tools and software for machine shops, manufacturers and aviation businesses. Clear capabilities. Better customer requests. Quotes, jobs and records that keep moving. And AI where it actually saves time.
Most projects start with one problem. The website undersells the shop, quotes live in email threads, or customers can't work out which product fits. Fixing it often means more than one of these:
Business websites
Clear pages for your capabilities, services and products. They work on a phone as well as a desktop, send inquiries to the right person, and give you measurement you can actually read.
Customer tools
Calculators, product selectors, comparison tools and guided request forms. Buyers can do real planning on your site and come to you with better information.
Workflow software
Quoting, approvals, job records, dashboards and reporting, shaped around how your business runs and connected to the systems you already use where that makes sense.
AI integration
Assistants that know your products and business information, document-assisted intake, and task-specific automation that gets work ready for a person to review.
Clear capabilities, useful customer tools and a direct path from research to inquiry.

Straightforward, and sized to the job
1. Understand the need
We talk through what's slowing you down or what customers can't find. Before I suggest anything, I look at your current website, tools and paperwork.
2. Define the scope
I write down what will be built, what it connects to and what finished looks like, and we agree on it before work starts. The price is based on that scope.
3. Build and review
I build in working stages you can click through. I test everything before you see it.
4. Hand over and support
You get the working system and a clear explanation of how it runs and how to update it. If you want ongoing support or further work, we agree on that to fit what you need.
An operator’s background, applied to software
I came to software from the hangar and the front office. I managed a private-aviation operation with 12 jets and more than 50 people, worked aircraft maintenance at West Star Aviation, and ran an internet and IT company in Costa Rica for eight years. I founded Icarus IFE Systems, where I lead the hardware and software for an inflight-entertainment platform and hold a U.S. patent.
I've been the person who needs the report, approves the quote and answers the phone when something slips. That’s why I ask about your shop floor, your paperwork and your customers before I talk about software.
