Custom websites and automation — designed, built, hosted, and looked after by Dr. Bob, and shaped around exactly how you work. And when your Mac or PC needs a hand, I'm still here for that, too.
Not vanity sites — and never cookie-cutter templates. Custom websites and automation, built around exactly how your business works, that bring everything together and make you more efficient and more capable — and looked after for the long run.
Designed around what you like — then prototyped and reworked together until you say, 'Build it!'
Let routine, repetitive work run itself — fewer errors, and hours handed back to you.
Online booking, client portals, dashboards, field & tablet apps — things you didn't realize were in reach.

The "Dr." is real — a doctorate in Reproductive Biology from the University of Washington School of Medicine, and years teaching anatomy to medical students who started calling me Dr. Bob. My research was analyzed on mainframes long before the personal computer, and a scientist documents everything — that habit became the heart of how I serve clients.
Today I'm back to my programming roots, building web solutions that change how my clients run their businesses. But the thing I'm proudest of hasn't changed: I'm not here for one-time fixes. My goal is customers for life — I treat every client like a friend, charge fairly, and won't let you spend more than something is worth. It's why many of my clients have been with me for 20+ years.
— Dr. Bob Bourdage, Bourdage Consulting
