How We Got Here

JMS Dev Lab started where most good software starts: with a problem that needed solving.

We saw businesses in specific industries struggling with generic tools that didn't quite fit — spreadsheets, paper notes, and a patchwork of software that was never designed for how they actually work. So we started building tools that were.

Our first app, JewelryStudioManager, gave an entire industry a purpose-built CRM for the first time. Our second, StaffHub, brought structured training, team management, and communication to Shopify store owners who needed more than just a scheduling tool.

That same approach now extends beyond our own products. Businesses come to us with problems that off-the-shelf software can't solve, and we build custom solutions — bespoke web applications, Shopify integrations, and business tools — designed around their specific workflows.

Our mission: Build software that feels like it was made by someone who understands your business — because it was. Whether it's one of our own apps or a custom solution built for you.

We're a small, focused team based in the EU. We don't try to build everything for everyone. Instead, we go deep — learning specific industries inside and out, and building software that fits, whether that's a product on the Shopify App Store or a custom tool built directly for a client.

Why Work With a Solo Developer?

Talk to the Person Who Builds It

No account managers, no project managers, no game of telephone. When you describe your problem, the person who listens is the same person who writes the code. That means fewer misunderstandings and better software.

Fixed Price, Not Hourly

You know exactly what you'll pay before work starts. If it takes longer than expected, that's our problem, not yours. No timesheets, no scope creep invoices, no surprises.

Deep Industry Knowledge

We don't build generic software. We've built tools for jewelry studios, retail stores, repair workshops, and grassroots sports. We understand the workflows because we've learned the industries.

You Own Everything

The code is yours. The data is yours. No vendor lock-in, no per-seat licensing, no monthly platform fees. We build it, you own it, and you can take it anywhere.

What Drives Us

Solve Real Problems

We don't build features for the sake of it. Every app starts with a genuine problem experienced by real people in a real business. If we wouldn't use it ourselves, we don't ship it.

Stay Focused

We'd rather build two excellent apps than twenty mediocre ones. Deep industry knowledge beats broad surface-level coverage every time.

Security First

Your business data deserves the same protection as a bank's. Encryption, secure authentication, GDPR compliance — these aren't add-ons, they're foundations.

Honest Support

When you email us, a real person responds. We don't hide behind chatbots or ticket queues. If something's broken, we fix it. If a feature doesn't exist yet, we tell you honestly.

Want to Work Together?

Whether you need one of our apps, want a custom solution built for your business, or just want to chat — we'd love to hear from you.
