Mike Castro
Baguio-based software development

Stop losing leads in Messenger and Instagram.

I help Baguio wedding suppliers and service businesses turn scattered inquiries into premium websites, organized bookings, clear quotes, and simple custom software.

Built by a CTO-level full-stack engineer behind production SaaS platforms, business websites, and custom Next.js applications.

Your next client may already be in your inbox — buried under old messages.

For many local businesses, the sales process starts in Messenger, Instagram, Facebook comments, referrals, and screenshots. That works at first, but it becomes messy fast.

The result: missed leads, delayed replies, repeated questions, and too much mental load.

A website is only the start. The real win is a system that helps you handle inquiries better.

You lose track of

  • who inquired
  • what date they need
  • what package they asked for
  • whether you already replied
  • who needs a follow-up
  • who is ready for a quote
  • who already paid
  • what needs to be prepared before the event

Built first for Baguio wedding and event suppliers.

If your business depends on trust, visuals, referrals, and fast replies, your online presence should do more than look pretty. Your website should show your best work, answer common questions, collect clean inquiries, and help you move clients from inquiry to booking.

Automate my workflow

Not in the wedding industry? I also build systems for service businesses.

The same problems show up in many local businesses: scattered inquiries, repeated manual work, paper records, Excel trackers, and no clear dashboard. I can help turn those into simple software for appointment-based businesses, rentals and property managers, schools and training centers, professional services, local shops with inventory, and teams that need internal dashboards.

Turn paper, Excel, and manual workflows into custom software your business can actually use.

Local PH pricing guide

Start small if you only need website help. Build bigger when your process needs a real system.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a custom system right away?

No. Many businesses should start with a better website or inquiry form first. Custom software makes sense when manual work, missed leads, or repeated admin tasks are costing you time or money.

Can you work with my existing website?

Usually, yes. I can review what you already have and recommend whether to fix it, improve it, or rebuild it.

Do you only work with wedding suppliers?

No. Wedding and event suppliers are the first focus because the needs are clear: portfolio, inquiries, packages, bookings, and coordination. I also work with other service businesses that need websites or internal systems.

Can you build booking, forms, dashboards, or CRM-like tools?

Yes. I can build simple custom tools for inquiries, booking requests, quotes, checklists, payment milestones, and internal tracking.

Can you help if my process is currently just Messenger, Excel, or paper?

Yes. That is exactly the kind of workflow that can often be improved with a simple custom system.

Are you based in Baguio?

Yes. I am based in Baguio and can work with local businesses as well as remote clients.

Have a messy process or website that needs help?

Send your website, Facebook page, Instagram profile, or a short description of what is not working. I will help you figure out the simplest next step.
