About
Software that fits the business, not the other way round
Leyth is run by Tom Crooks, a software developer with nine years’ experience, based in Leigh, Greater Manchester.
Most businesses run on a patchwork: a spreadsheet here, an inbox there, a tool that almost fits. Leyth builds what replaces it — an internal system, an automation, a web app, or a website that brings in enquiries.
It starts with the problem, not the technology. Tell me what’s slowing the business down, and I’ll tell you plainly whether software is the answer.
What I do
From the website to the systems behind it
Some problems need a website. More need a tool: something that takes a job off someone’s desk, or joins up two systems that should already talk to each other. I build both.
02
Automations
The repetitive jobs that eat hours every week, handed to software that does them the same way every time.

03
Integrations
Systems that should talk to each other, joined up so information goes in once and shows up everywhere it's needed.

Web apps
Software your customers use: booking systems, portals and products. Knockt, in Recent work, is one.

Support & care
Hosting, fixes and improvements once it's live, so it stays fast, secure and current.

Everything is built from scratch, so it does what your business needs rather than what a template allows.
The approach
What you can expect
However big or small the project, these come as standard.
- 01 Software built around how your business works, not the other way round
- 02 Plain English throughout — no jargon, however technical the project
- 03 A clear scope, timeline and cost before any work starts
- 04 Regular previews, so you can steer while it takes shape
- 05 Fast, secure and easy to use, on any device
- 06 Support once it’s live, if you want it
How it works

You always know what's happening next, and what it costs.
