What this package is

Admin is where your own team works with the data, without opening a database and without calling a developer. Search, filter, edit and delete from an ordinary web page.

It comes with roles controlling who sees and changes what, import and export as Excel or CSV for anything still handed to another department, and a record of who changed what and when.

That audit trail is the part people skip until the day it matters. When a number is not what it should be, the first question is who changed it. With no record, the answer is that nobody knows.

This mirrors the screen of the delivered system. Everything here lives in this page, connected to no bank and no system. The real thing calculates from your own database.

Everything you get

This list is the entire scope of the package. Nothing is hidden in a contract.

Not included in this package
  • Front-end design and build. This service covers only what sits behind it. If you need both sides, look at the business website or the booking system, which ship with a front end.
  • Monthly server and third-party costs, paid from your own accounts so the system genuinely belongs to you. I estimate the figures before we start.
  • Migrating data out of an old system with a complicated structure. Ordinary spreadsheets I move for free; pulling through a legacy API is quoted separately and told to you first.
  • Mobile apps. That is the Android service, which can call the API built here.
  • A registered company on my side. I am one developer working under my own name in Thailand, and the contract is with me personally.

What I need from you before starting

Only the questions I genuinely cannot start without. Everything else we sort out once work begins. If one is not settled yet, put down what you know today.

Attach files optional

How the work runs

1

Send me what already exists

The front end you have built, the spreadsheet you run on, or the old system still in production. Any one of those is enough to start scoping.

2

We agree the data shape before code is written

You get the data structure and the list of what the system will do, to review first. Changing it as a document takes ten minutes. Changing it halfway through the build takes three days.

3

Your team uses the real thing while it is still being built

The system and its documentation open up in stages, so front-end work runs alongside rather than discovering a mismatch at the end.

4

Handover somebody else can pick up

Source code, API documentation, tests, deploy instructions and an admin manual, plus support after delivery.

How to reach you

Questions about this package

How is this different from just opening the database?

Opening the database means only a developer can do it, and one wrong edit has nothing standing in the way. What I build validates input, enforces roles, and records who did what. Ordinary people can use it, and mistakes can be traced.

Could we use Retool or Directus instead?

Yes, and for some projects I will recommend exactly that. If you want it quickly and are happy paying per user monthly, off-the-shelf wins. Building it is right when your own business logic has to live inside the admin, such as one button that must cause three things to happen in order, which those tools handle poorly.

Can we add users later? Is there a per-user cost?

Add them yourself from inside the admin, with no per-user charge, because the system is yours rather than rented. That is the opposite of off-the-shelf tools, where the bill grows as the team grows.

If somebody deletes the wrong record, can it come back?

Yes. Deleting hides by default rather than removing from the database, and it is recorded. Permanent deletion on a data subject's request is supported too, as a separate action.

Can we upgrade from API later?

Yes, paying the difference at that day's price. The admin is built on the same API, so nothing has to be torn up.
