Get a recommendation before you spend anything.

Most developers start by selling you a build. I start by telling you what I’d actually do — and whether it’s worth doing at all. That first recommendation is free.

What you get

A short teardown of your website, checkout, or workflow — written or on video, your pick.

The single best next step, with an honest effort and cost estimate.

A straight verdict — including “you don’t need this built” when that’s the truth.

How it works

1. Describe the problem in plain language — three sentences is plenty.

2. I review it myself within 48 hours. No juniors, no discovery call required.

3. You get the recommendation in your inbox — yours to keep, even if we never work together.

Example teardown — replace with a real onePlaceholder: 3–4 lines from a real recommendation you’ve given. Show the diagnosis, the suggested fix, and the outcome. This is the proof that makes people trust the offer.

Why 5? I cap this at five per week so each recommendation is done properly — by me, not a template.

    Common questions

    Before we start.

    Useful answers for businesses considering a project with ByteCraft.

    I work mainly with startups and small to growing businesses that need a website, automation, integration, or focused custom system.

    Yes. I can review what you already have, identify the main constraint, and recommend whether to improve, integrate, or rebuild it.

    Yes. CandidByte is based in Cagayan de Oro and works remotely with clients in the Philippines and worldwide.

    Cost depends on the scope, integrations, and delivery requirements. After an initial conversation, you receive a written proposal before work begins.

    A focused website or automation can take a few weeks. Larger systems take longer. Your proposal will include a realistic project schedule.

    Yes. Projects include a handover and support period. Ongoing support can also be arranged when the system needs continued maintenance.
