How Software4All Works

From idea to production-ready software in eight clear steps — all guided by specialist AI agents you can chat with at every stage.

Eight Steps to Your Software

Each step produces a document you can review, refine, and download. Nothing moves forward until you approve it.

1

Brief & Requirements

Produces: DesignBrief.md

Chat with our Brief Agent to define your project goals, features, target users, and constraints. The agent asks targeted questions to build a complete picture of what you want to build.

  • What problem does your software solve?
  • Who are your users and what do they need?
  • What are the must-have features vs. nice-to-haves?
  • Any existing systems to integrate with?
2

Project Initiation Document

Produces: PID.md

The PID Agent reads your brief and creates a comprehensive project plan — scope, timeline, deliverables, risks, and success criteria. Chat with it to correct anything that isn't right before moving on.

  • Project scope and out-of-scope items clearly defined
  • Estimated timeline broken into phases
  • Key risks identified with mitigation strategies
  • Success criteria you can measure against
3

Architecture Design

Produces: Architecture.md

The Architect Agent designs the technical foundation — choosing the right technologies, frameworks, and system architecture. It also breaks the build into user stories and sprints so you can see exactly what will be built and in what order.

  • Technology stack selection with rationale
  • Database schema and data model
  • All user stories written and estimated in man-days
  • Sprint plan showing what gets built when
4

Quality Assurance Plan

Produces: QA.md

The QA Agent develops a comprehensive testing strategy — defining what "done" looks like, acceptance criteria for each feature, and the quality metrics the finished software must meet.

  • Acceptance criteria for every feature
  • Performance and security requirements
  • Browser and device compatibility targets
  • Definition of done for each sprint
5

Test Specifications

Produces: Tests.md

The Test Agent writes detailed test plans covering unit tests, integration tests, and user acceptance tests. It is crucial you review every test with the agent to ensure they cover everything that matters to you.

  • Unit test cases for every function
  • Integration tests for all system connections
  • UAT scripts you can run yourself
  • Edge cases and error scenarios covered
6

Costing & Payment

Every user story from the Architecture document is converted into man-days and priced at £30 per man-day. You see a fully itemised quote before paying a single penny. A 20% contingency is included for bug fixes. Only proceed when you are happy with the price.

  • Fully itemised breakdown — no hidden costs
  • 20% contingency included for fixes and edge cases
  • Fixed price agreed before work begins
  • Secure payment via Stripe
7

Development Sprints

Your software is built sprint by sprint. At the end of each sprint you can upload the files to your own server and test it yourself before the next sprint begins. You have full visibility of what has been built, what tests passed, and what is coming next.

  • Sprint-by-sprint delivery you can test at every stage
  • Automated test results shown after each sprint
  • Upload to your server to test before approving
  • Clear status tracking for every user story
8

Deployment

Your completed software is ready to go live. Deploy directly to your server via FTP, export the full project to GitHub, or download all files as a zip. You own 100% of the source code.

  • FTP deployment to your server
  • GitHub repository export
  • Full source code zip download
  • You own all code — no lock-in

Common Questions

Do I need any technical knowledge?

No. The AI agents are designed to guide non-technical users through every step. You describe what you want in plain English and the agents handle all the technical decisions.

What does the £45 specification fee cover?

The £45 covers all five specification phases — Brief, PID, Architecture, QA, and Test documents. You can download all five documents in PDF, Markdown, or plain text. If you decide not to proceed to build, you keep the documents.

How is the build price calculated?

The Architect Agent estimates each user story in man-days. The total is multiplied by £30 per man-day, plus a 20% contingency for bug fixes and edge cases. You see the full itemised breakdown before paying.

What technology will my software be built with?

The Architect Agent selects the most appropriate technology stack for your project. Common choices include PHP/MySQL, Node.js, Python/Django, and React. You can discuss preferences during the Architecture phase.

Can I make changes during the build?

The specification documents are agreed before the build begins, which is what keeps the price fixed. Minor clarifications are fine; significant scope changes would require a new costing.

Who reviews the work before it is approved?

After the five specification phases are complete, a human admin reviews all five documents before the build is approved. This ensures the plan is coherent and deliverable before you pay for the build.
