Custom Development delivered by First Person Marketing

Solve the parts off the shelf tools cannot. Custom Development sits inside the Web line of your subscription, delivered by the same team that runs your other channels and reported against a fast, credible site that converts a higher share of the traffic you already pay for.

Why businesses come to us for this

  • You suspect custom Development matters for your business but nobody internally owns it, so it moves only when someone finds spare time
  • You have paid for custom Development before and received activity reports rather than an explanation of what it earned
  • Your competitors are visibly ahead on custom Development and the gap widens every quarter you leave it
  • You can see the enquiries you get, but not the enquiries you are missing because custom Development is not being handled

The work itself

01

Integrations and portals

We start here because integrations and portals is usually where the gap between what your site could earn and what it does earn is widest. Your account manager agrees the scope with you before any work begins, so you always know what is being changed and why.

02

Workflow automation

Workflow automation is handled by the specialist who does this work every day, not by a generalist working from a checklist. You see the plan, the change and the result of the change in your workspace rather than in a slide at the end of the quarter.

03

Documented handover

Nothing here is delivered in isolation. Documented handover is sequenced against the rest of your plan so custom Development supports paid, lifecycle and conversion work instead of competing with it for the same budget.

Custom Development is included in every plan from $199 per month upward. Larger plans allocate more monthly capacity to custom Development; your account manager will tell you honestly which plan the work you want actually fits.

The first ninety days

  1. 1

    Week one: audit and baseline

    We audit the current state of custom Development, record a baseline for every measure we intend to move and agree what a good ninety days looks like in writing. Without a baseline, nobody can honestly claim an improvement later.

  2. 2

    Weeks two and three: first changes shipped

    The highest impact items go live first, starting with integrations and portals. You approve anything that touches your brand or your customers before it ships.

  3. 3

    Weeks four to eight: build and test

    Workflow automation is delivered and tested, with results reviewed against the baseline every fortnight instead of at month end when it is too late to react.

  4. 4

    Weeks nine to twelve: compound and review

    We consolidate what worked, retire what did not and present the ninety day review. If the agreed measures have not moved, our guarantee applies and you can ask for your money back.

Answers

Questions about custom development

Can I buy custom Development on its own

Custom Development is delivered inside a monthly subscription rather than as a standalone project, because it performs better when it is planned alongside your other channels. Your plan sets how much of the monthly capacity goes to custom Development, and that split can change as priorities change.

How quickly does custom Development show results

You will see delivery inside the first fortnight and measurable movement inside ninety days. That is the window our guarantee covers. Some parts of web compound for longer, which we will say plainly rather than promising everything at once.

Who actually does the custom Development work

A specialist in web employed by us, directed by your named account manager. Nothing is passed to an offshore subcontractor and nothing is generated and published without a human reviewing it.

What do you need from us

Access to the relevant systems, one decision maker who can approve work, and about an hour a month for the review. Slow approvals are the single most common reason custom Development underperforms, so we agree turnaround expectations up front.

What happens if custom Development does not work

We commit to growth within ninety days or your money back, and the measures are agreed with you in week one rather than chosen afterwards. If we miss, you can claim under the guarantee or move your capacity to a channel with a better chance.
