Custom Web Applications & Client Portals

Beyond Websites

Software Built Around Your Business

McNair Media designs and builds custom web applications — client portals, CRMs, quoting and invoicing systems, scheduling tools, and full internal operations platforms. The same team that can launch a beautiful one-page website for a brand-new business also builds the complex, multi-user software that established companies run their entire operation on.

Client & Customer Portals

Give your customers a secure place to log in, view quotes and invoices, pay online, download reports, and track the work you're doing for them — all under your own brand.

CRM & Operations Platforms

Track customers, projects, locations, equipment, and documents in one system built around the way your company actually works — not the way an off-the-shelf tool assumes you work.

Quoting, Invoicing & Payments

Send professional quotes, convert them to invoices in one click, and take deposits or full payment online with Stripe — with automatic follow-up emails so nothing slips through the cracks.

Scheduling & Booking

Event calendars, appointment requests, service scheduling, and automated reminders that sync with the calendars your team already uses.

Documents, Reports & Media

Upload-and-publish workflows for reports, resource libraries with member-only access, photo galleries that build themselves, and video delivered from a global CDN.

Automation & AI

Contact-form spam filtering, automatic email routing and triage, AI-assisted content and reporting — practical automation that saves real hours every week.

Why Custom

When Off-the-Shelf Stops Fitting

You own it

Your data, your workflows, your customer relationships — on your own system, not rented from a SaaS vendor who can raise prices or sunset features.

No per-seat fees

Most businesses we work with replace two or three monthly subscriptions with one application built to do exactly what they need.

It fits day one

We start from how your team already works — the paper forms, the spreadsheets, the phone calls — and build software that replaces them without forcing new habits.

One Team, Start to Finish

Design, development, hosting, security, backups, and ongoing support — handled by the same people who built your application. No hand-offs, no finger-pointing, no "that's the other vendor's problem."

  • Discovery & workflow mapping before any code
  • Modern, secure stack (Laravel / PHP) — no page-builder shortcuts
  • Works on phones, tablets, and desktops
  • Managed hosting, SSL, and daily backups included
  • Built to grow — start small, add features as you do
Proven in the Field

Real Applications, Real Businesses

From our studio in Arlington, Ohio, we build for clients in Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, New Jersey, and beyond — small-town trades, coastal tourism organizations, industrial firms, and national membership organizations.

Operations Platform

An industrial services company in Findlay, Ohio runs project tracking, document workflows, and reporting across multiple customer facilities on a platform we built and continue to evolve.

Website + Built-In CRM

An industrial parts supplier in Dalton, Georgia replaced a template site with a custom website that includes its own customer-management system — no third-party CRM subscription required.

Custom Quoting App

A painting contractor takes job requests through a bespoke quoting application that turns estimates into approved, paid work — built for how they price, not a generic form.

In Your Pocket

Mobile Apps Too

When the browser isn't enough, we build for the phone: native Android apps and installable progressive web apps (PWAs) that work on any device — with push notifications, offline-friendly behavior, and large file handling built in. Our own operations run on mobile apps we built ourselves, so we ship what we'd use.

Not Sure What You Need Yet?

That's normal — most of our application projects started as a conversation about a spreadsheet that got out of hand. Tell us how your business runs today and we'll tell you honestly whether a simple website, an off-the-shelf tool, or a custom application is the right answer.
