I'm Manolo González, a freelance web and software developer. I help founders, growing businesses and product teams launch websites, tailored software and system integrations that save time and scale with them. You work directly with me, the person doing the work, from first call to launch and after.
Hire me for an MVP, a scoped project, hourly consulting or a monthly retainer.
Need a site or app people actually use? I build websites, web apps and dashboards that load fast, work on every screen and stay easy to change, from design to deployment, with one person accountable.
Stuck forcing your process into an off-the-shelf tool? I build internal tools, client portals and products around how your team really works, so the software fits you and not the other way round.
Tired of copying data between tools by hand? I connect the systems you already pay for so information moves on its own: APIs, syncs and automations between tools never designed to talk.
We talk through what you need and whether I'm the right fit. You leave knowing your options, with no pitch and no obligation.
You get a written scope: what is in, what is out, how long it should take and how it is billed. No surprises later.
I build in small steps and show you working software regularly, so you can steer early instead of discovering problems at the end.
We review together, adjust, and test everything before it goes live, so launch day is calm.
I launch, hand over the code, access and documentation you need, and stay reachable afterwards.
| MVP development | Hourly consulting | Scoped project | Monthly retainer | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best when | You have an idea and need a first working version in front of users. | You need a second opinion, a code review or an expert to unblock your team. | You know what you need built and want a clear start, end and deliverable. | You want ongoing development, maintenance and a developer on call. |
| How it works | I scope the smallest version worth launching, then build and ship it with you. | Book time as you need it. No project, no commitment beyond the hours. | We agree the scope up front, and I deliver against it. | A reserved block of my time each month, used on whatever matters most. |
| Billing | Fixed scope, agreed in writing before I start | By the hour, only for time used | Fixed price per agreed scope | Monthly, for a reserved block of time |

I'm Manolo González, a freelance web and software developer. I build websites, tailored software and system integrations for founders, growing businesses and product teams, and you work directly with me from the first call to launch and after.
I build three things: websites, web apps and dashboards (web development); internal tools, client portals and products built around how your team works (tailored software); and APIs, webhooks, data sync and automations that connect the tools you already use (system integration).
I'm a good fit for founders who need a first version built, businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets and disconnected tools, and product teams that want senior help without hiring. I'm not the right fit for projects that need a large team working in parallel, and I'll tell you so instead of taking them on.
You can hire me in four ways: MVP development (fixed scope, agreed in writing before I start), a scoped project (fixed price per agreed scope), hourly consulting (billed by the hour, only for time used) and a monthly retainer (a reserved block of my time each month). If you are not sure which fits, choose "Not sure yet" on the quote form and we will work it out together.
Request a quote if you'd rather write, and schedule a call if you'd rather talk. With a quote request you describe the project in a short form and I reply personally by email with questions and next steps, usually before any numbers. With a call you pick days and hours between Monday and Saturday, 9:00 to 17:00, and I confirm a time by email for a Google Meet video call or a phone call. Either way there is no pitch and no obligation.
Every project follows five steps: conversation, scope, build, review and launch. We talk through what you need, you get a written scope covering what is in, what is out, timing and billing, I build in small steps and show you working software regularly, we review and test together, and then I launch and hand everything over.
I don't publish fixed rates, because the price depends on the project and how we work together. For an MVP or a scoped project, we agree the scope and how it is billed before I start. Hourly consulting is billed only for the time used, and a retainer reserves a block of my time each month. I give numbers once I understand your project.
An MVP's timeline depends on how much the first version needs to do. I start by scoping the smallest version worth launching, and I give you a realistic timeline once I understand the project.
You get the finished work plus what you need to run it. For web development, that is the live site or app, the code repository and a handover call. For tailored software, working software, clean code and written documentation. For system integration, documented, monitored connections you can hand to anyone. At launch I also hand over the access you need.
I hand over everything you need and stay reachable afterwards. If you want ongoing development and maintenance, the monthly retainer reserves a block of my time each month for that.
Whether I can take on an existing codebase depends on the code itself, so send me the details through the quote form and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person to take it on. Hourly consulting also covers code reviews and second opinions on existing code.
You work directly with me, one developer, from the first call to launch.
Yes. The whole site, including the quote and call request forms, is available in English and Spanish, and I read and reply to every request myself.
Send a few details for a quote and I'll reply personally with questions and next steps, or schedule a call and we'll talk it through. No pitch, no obligation.
