About

You work with the person building it.

Cape Fear Web Co is an independent design and development practice run by Chris Horn. You talk directly with the person scoping, designing, and building the work.

Approach

I map how the work is handled today, then build the part that’s missing.

I’m Chris Horn. I build websites and software for businesses whose important work still runs through spreadsheets, inboxes, and tools that don’t talk to each other: proposals, client and operations portals, sales workflows, and scheduling.

My background is in operations and business development. It taught me to ask who does the work, what they need to see, and where things get stuck before deciding what to build.

Recent work includes a client portal and proposal builder for Elite Touch Cleaning, product engineering on Physician Connection’s existing scheduling platform, and a territory map and website for Regen Profits.

How I work

How a project runs with me.

Four stages. Scope and a spending limit are agreed before anything is scheduled.

Get the problem clear

Start with the current website or workflow and find a useful first step. When the problem is larger or unclear, a paid assessment can come first, if we agree it should.

Agree the scope

The work, the estimate, the priorities, and a spending limit are written down before anything is scheduled.

Build and review

I build in useful pieces and test them, and you review the working result rather than a description of it.

Launch and look after it

After the agreed launch, the work moves to a defined care plan or a clean handoff, whichever suits the project.

Start with what you need.

Ask for a free homepage preview if you need a business website. If it is software, a client portal, or a connection between tools, tell me about the project. Neither request commits you to anything.
