The codebases my own sites run on, for sale
The store for the three kits my own sites run on: local directories, job boards and launch platforms. Pay once, build as many as you like.
Local Lab
From $149The engine under every directory I have built and sold. The first one took months. Every one since has taken a weekend.
Job Lab
From $149A white-label job board engine. Ingestion, search, SEO and billing out of the box. A new niche is settings, not code.
Launch Lab
From $199A weekly launch platform for any niche. Makers book a launch week, visitors vote, and the paid places pay for the site.

About
I’m a consultant, entrepreneur and software builder originally from the UK and now living in Thailand. I’ve spent 20 years building businesses, working with clients, and figuring out how to build products and take them to market. Most of my time is spent building and operating my own portfolio of AI-native software platforms, including MentionMachine. For the right projects, I’m also available for full-stack development and technical consulting when I think I can genuinely add value.
