Most professional firm websites don't fail in one big way. They fail in seven small ways at once. That's why no one fixes them - there's no obvious broken thing to point at. Just enquiries that never come.

[OLXR @OLXRdev]

Most firms misdiagnose this. They blame their website for not generating leads. The actual problem is that it's giving every referral a reason to pause.

[OLXR @OLXRdev]

A website does not generate clients for a professional services firm. That's not what it's for.

[OLXR @OLXRdev]

Stack enough of them and the prospect quietly moves to the next name on the list. You never hear about the calls you didn't get.

[OLXR @OLXRdev]

Most professional firms have decent reputations and outdated websites. The website is the thing prospects check first - and a weak one quietly contradicts everything else you've built.

Today we're launching OLXR Presence to fix that.

Most software project failures aren't technical. They're communication failures.

A developer who communicates well usually beats a more technical one who doesn't.

Wrote a guide on how to evaluate software companies - by one.

[OLXR @OLXRdev]

Started OLXR in 2019 because too many software projects were failing for the wrong reasons.

Bad briefs. No accountability. Wrong people doing the work.

Still fixing that.
https://t.co/OGCUq5j0Wf

[OLXR @OLXRdev]

Full project ownership. Lead developer. Extra hands on an existing team.

OLXR fits around what you actually need.

.NET / C# / React / AWS.

[OLXR @OLXRdev]

Most software projects fail at requirements, not code.

Vague brief. Vague build. Expensive lesson.

Discovery isn't optional.

[OLXR @OLXRdev]

SaaS builds. Custom web apps. API integrations. AWS deployments.

Different projects. Same standard.

.NET / C# / React / SQL Server / AWS.

https://t.co/OGCUq5j0Wf

[OLXR @OLXRdev]

If you're scoping a software or website project and want a straight conversation - no pitch, no hard sell.

[OLXR @OLXRdev]

At what point does a business need bespoke software vs just a better SaaS tool?

Genuinely curious what people's experience has been.

[OLXR @OLXRdev]

We build for clients. We also build for ourselves.

The goal isn't to write code.

It's to ship something that works.
https://t.co/OGCUq5j0Wf

[OLXR @OLXRdev]

Shipped production systems across SaaS, fintech and enterprise.

.NET / C# / React / SQL Server / AWS.

If that's your stack, we should talk.

[OLXR @OLXRdev]

Technical director. Lead developer. Extra hands on an existing team.

Whatever the engagement looks like - .NET / C# / React / SQL Server / AWS.

[OLXR @OLXRdev]

Most software projects fail at requirements, not code.

If your brief is vague, your build will be too.

Discovery isn't a nice-to-have.
