Arklight.
About

I am not a freelancer between jobs. I run a company that depends on this software.

Since 2013 I have sold high-value used goods online, sourced in one country and sold in another, with the taxes, the paperwork and the pricing that comes with it. The website was never a brochure; it was the shop, the pricing desk and the back office. When the off-the-shelf options ran out I built the platform myself, and I have run it, fixed it at 2am and grown it to 130,000 items ever since. It is at ukcarimports.ie, and every claim on this site is checkable there.

Arklight Labs exists because the things I had to build for my own business, live stock, pricing, listings that rank, enquiries that arrive, payments, alerts, monitoring, are the things every business that sells anything needs, and almost none of them have. The asset class is incidental. Inventory is inventory.

I work from Ireland with clients anywhere English is spoken. There is no team page because there is no team; there is a person, a stack any developer can pick up, and accounts in your name from day one. If you want to know what happens if I disappear, the answer is on the ownership page, and it is the same answer whether you ask before or after you hire me.

Where the work is done

Here. By me. Nothing is passed to a white-label shop overseas, because nothing is passed anywhere.

How it is done

AI writes a lot of the code. I design, decide, check and am accountable for every line. That is why it is fast and why it costs what it costs.

What I will not build

Systems that hold regulated personal data: medical records, money under management. Things, not people. Things pay just as well and cannot sue you.

Fifteen minutes is all a first call needs

Tell me what you sell and what is annoying you about the site. You will have a fixed quote and a date in writing within two working days.
