What I build

Three things. Built around your business.

Most businesses don't need more tools. They need the right ones, wired together and built for how they actually work. That's what I do.

01

Apps

Software that runs your business

Customer portals, booking and intake, internal dashboards, scheduling tools, built around the way you already work. Replace the spreadsheets and clunky software you’ve outgrown.

  • Booking, intake & customer portals
  • Internal dashboards & reporting
  • AI assistants built into your workflow
02

Websites & marketing

Sites that bring in work

Fast, modern websites paired with the ads, creative, and promotion to actually drive traffic. Mobile-first, ranks on Google, and gets in front of the customers you want.

  • Lead capture, forms & booking
  • Google & Meta ads, plus creative
  • Social, email & launch promotion
03

Automation

Hours back in your week

Connect the tools you already use, like CRM, email, scheduling, payments, and spreadsheets, so the busywork runs itself. Add AI where it actually saves time, not just where it sounds cool.

  • Quotes, invoices & follow-ups
  • Lead routing & customer onboarding
  • Reports that send themselves
How I work

Weeks, not quarters.

You talk to me directly. I do the work. No salespeople, no junior handoff, no $20k “discovery phase” before anything gets built.

  1. 01

    A week to figure it out

    We start with a short paid kickoff. By the end of the week you'll see exactly what we're building, what it costs, and what it does for your business, even if we don't keep working together.

  2. 02

    See it every week

    No slide decks, no monthly status emails. You get a working version in your browser each week and tell me what to change. Fast feedback, no surprises.

  3. 03

    Live and ready to use

    When it launches, it actually works, and your team knows how to use it. I'll walk everyone through it and make sure it fits into the day-to-day.

  4. 04

    It's yours to keep

    You own the website, the accounts, the everything, from day one. Need a hand after launch? I'm an email away.

Founder, SofC
Based in the US Booking projects this quarter

SofC is run by Sam Merrill, a builder who's spent years making software that teams and businesses actually use day-to-day.

I started SofC because the best work happens when one person owns the whole thing: understanding your business, building the fix, and being around when something needs to change. No layers, no handoffs, no excuses.
