LJL Services
Ruby on Rails Design & Development
At LJL Services we build custom CRM systems, websites, and business tools using Ruby on Rails, hosted on Google Cloud for speed and reliability. We also provide Google Workspace management, Microsoft 365 support, Stripe integration, and general IT assistance for growing businesses.
About
Purpose-Built Software for Growing Businesses
LJL Services was built to give small and medium-sized businesses an affordable, high-performance path to digital growth. With modern AI tooling and the speed of Ruby on Rails development, we can now deliver custom systems faster and more cost-effectively than traditional agencies or off-the-shelf subscription products.
Instead of forcing your business into bloated SaaS platforms, either lacking the features you need or locking key functionality behind expensive tiers, we design and build systems that match your exact operational requirements. You only pay for the features you use, and you fully own the finished product.
- Custom Software for Real Businesses. Tailored CRM systems, internal tools, and operational platforms that reflect how your organisation actually works, not how a subscription tool assumes it should.
- A Streamlined, Modern Tech Stack. Ruby on Rails for rapid development, Tailwind CSS for fast interface creation, Stimulus for lightweight interactivity, and Google Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, and Cloud Storage for fast, secure deployments.
- Integrations, Payments & Automation. Stripe billing, Google Workspace configuration, Microsoft 365 support, cloud automations, and background operations, engineered for reliability and scale.
By standardising on a concise set of technologies, we can build almost any feature or product you require, from simple marketing websites to full CRM platforms and multi-store e-commerce architectures, without unnecessary overhead.
Ownership, Transparency & Long-Term Flexibility
Every project is built so your business owns everything: the codebase, the hosting environment, the cloud configuration, and the long-term direction of the system. There are no hidden subscription fees, no lock-ins, and no dependency on proprietary platforms. Designers, contractors, or additional developers can be onboarded at any time, LJL Services simply acts as a contributor to your infrastructure.
Pricing is simple: an agreed initial development cost and a day rate of £150 for ongoing work. All booked development days are managed through the LJL Services booking platform. Each booking includes an invoice and a dedicated Google Meet “virtual office,” allowing you to drop in, check progress, and maintain complete visibility throughout the build.
Built for Businesses That Want to Scale
With a delivery model focused on speed, clarity, and operational efficiency, LJL Services builds systems that accelerate growth without driving up technical debt. From architecture and development to deployment, observability, and long-term optimisation, everything is engineered for durability and future expansion.
The result is a technical foundation your organisation can trust, flexible enough to evolve, efficient enough to run lean, and robust enough to support long-term strategic goals.
