Freelance developer of business software and websites for Milan companies

When a freelancer makes sense in Milan

Milan has plenty of competition, and for some projects a software house is the right choice. I explain it on the freelancer or software house page. A freelancer makes sense in precise cases:

• A small or medium company wanting custom software without months of meetings.
• A professional office with a spreadsheet that got out of hand, or deadlines to track.
• A start-up that has to try an idea before paying for a team. For funding see Smart&Start.
• A brand selling online that wants to connect the shop to its stock.
• An IT department needing a hand on one piece, for instance old software nobody wants to touch.
• A company with foreign customers that wants a site in several languages.

What to expect

You talk to me from the first message to support. I answer Monday to Saturday, 9 to 19. Before any code is written there is a free analysis, then a clickable prototype to try with the people who will use the software.

The software stays yours. If you ask, I give you the code and the database. Large projects are split into milestones, paid one at a time, so you can stop after each stage.

Two pieces of work to look at

• The CRM I use for my business: invoices, payments, renewals, calendar and to-dos.
• AREAVISION: software that receives shop prices over FTP and sends them to electronic labels, with an app for shop staff.

All published work is under Work, and the method under Process.

Where I work from

From Rovellasca, about thirty kilometres north of Milan, towards Como. I work with clients far away too, and with companies in Switzerland: see the Ticino page. If you are closer to me than to Milan, see Como and Brianza.

When I'm not the right person

If the project calls for several developers in parallel, an ISO certification or a tender with turnover requirements, you need a structured company. I will tell you on the first call.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose a freelancer outside Milan?

For business software, distance matters little: we work with prototypes to try. What matters is who writes the code, and that it stays the same person over the years.

Do you work in English?

Yes. This site is in Italian and English, and software or a website can have several languages too.

Can you work alongside our IT department?

Yes, on a precise piece: a connection, an old program to rewrite, a site to put right. The code stays yours, so your team can carry on.

How much do you cost compared to a Milan software house?

I don't publish prices, because they depend on the project. A freelancer usually has lower overheads. After the free analysis you have a written figure to compare.
