Held together
with workarounds.

Your systems weren't designed. They accumulated.
I replace cobbled-together tools with software built around how your business operates.

Build. Host. Evolve.

01 Is This You?

You've got a platform held together with workarounds, a spreadsheet that runs half your operations, and a developer who disappeared.

Frustrated & Fed Up

Sick of patching things together.

"Every time we add something, something else breaks. I just want it to work."

Anxiously Ambitious

Ready to grow, but the tech can't keep up.

"We've got the demand. The systems just aren't built for where we're going."

Referred & Checking

Someone sent you here.

"I was told to talk to Phil. Let me see what this is about."

Post-Disappointment

Been burned before. Cautious now.

"The last developer talked big, delivered half, and stopped returning calls."

Your platform was built for a business half this size. Every new requirement means another workaround, another bolt-on, another thing that might break.

Critical processes still live in spreadsheets. Manual data entry. Copy-paste between systems. Hours lost to work the software should handle.

Sound familiar? Let's talk.

02 What I Do

I replace the patchwork with
proper software.

Not a website. A system. Built around how your business actually operates, hosted and maintained by the person who built it.

The cost of not doing this is real. It's the hours your team spends on workarounds every week. It's the invoices that go out late because the system makes billing harder than it should be. It's the growth you can't pursue because the platform can't handle it.

01

Build

I build your operational systems from the ground up. The cobbled-together tools, spreadsheets, and manual processes get replaced with one application that maps to how your business actually works.

02

Host

Servers, firewalls, monitoring, performance, backups. The entire technical backbone, managed by the person who built it. Not a third-party support desk. Me.

03

Evolve

Monthly development allocation. Your system grows with your business. Features, integrations, refinements. No re-onboarding, no context lost. The same developer, year after year.

AI-amplified, not AI-dependent. I use AI the way a master craftsman uses power tools. It makes me faster, but the judgement is still mine. Twenty years of craft, now accelerated.

03 How It Works

An agency wants to scope a
discovery phase. You just need
someone who gets it.

01

Conversation

No forms. No sales funnel. We have a straight conversation about what you need, what's broken, and whether I'm the right fit. If I'm not, I'll tell you.

02

Shape

I dig into your business, your processes, and your pain points. The more I understand, the better the result. I prototype quickly so you can see what's possible before committing.

03

Build

A fixed-scope engagement to design and build your system. You see progress throughout. No black box. Every decision documented.

$15K -- $75K+
04

Ongoing

Monthly retainer. Hosting, maintenance, and a development allocation to keep evolving the system. The person you talk to is the person who builds it.

$1.5K -- $5K /month

You own everything from day one. Code, servers, credentials, documentation. If you walk away tomorrow, you take a working system with you. Builds are billed at milestones, not upfront.

04 Proof

Not portfolios.
Transformations.

Platform Build Plumbing Inspection Platform

Replace 10 years of accumulated tools and spreadsheets with one system that runs the entire operation.

Before

A 10-year-old platform, spreadsheets tracking jobs, and a process that required manual data entry at every step.

After

One system: job import via API, kanban board, mobile technician interface, admin report writing, PDF generation, Xero invoicing. Everything in one place.

Report writing dropped from 4 hours to 20 minutes. Client since 2022. I proposed the build because I could see the pain.

Application Home Builder Client Portal

Turn a nest of gravity forms into a proper application with real version control and workflow.

Before

Nested Gravity Forms trying to do things forms were never meant to do. Brittle, slow, impossible to maintain.

After

A proper application: package versioning, user management, dynamic material schedule editing, automated PDF generation.

Eliminated 6 hours of weekly manual scheduling. Client since 2023. Referred by an agency partner who knew this needed a proper developer.

Migration Automotive Publishing Platform

Migrate 30,000 posts off a $10K/month headless CMS and cut costs to a fraction.

Before

30,000+ posts on an expensive headless CMS. $10,000 a month in hosting alone. Over-engineered and under-performing.

After

Migrated to a system that actually works. Custom content blocks, ad system preserved, fraction of the cost.

Hosting costs reduced from $10,000/month to $800/month. Client since 2021.

05 About
Photo of Phil

I'm Phil Kurth.

I've been writing code and building systems for twenty years. Wolf Digital is a solo consultancy. Deliberately. No project managers, no account managers, no junior developers learning on your project.

The person you talk to is the person who builds it. That's the point.

I work with a focused number of retainer clients. Enough to go deep, few enough that you always have direct access.

Continuity guarantee

Every project is built on standard, well-documented technology. Your codebase, your servers, your credentials. They're yours. I document every decision, every change, every conversation. If something happens to me, any competent developer can pick up where I left off. I also keep a backup developer in the loop for emergencies, because your business shouldn't depend on any single person, including me.
