Custom web applications and integrations
Alex Hedström
When page builders aren't enough, you need software built for how you work.
I've built for the web for 30 years. Today I help companies get custom applications and integrations without limitations.

What companies get stuck on
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
You’ve outgrown the page builder
Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress themes stop where your real requirements begin. I build the application underneath.
Your tools don’t talk to each other
CRM, payments, bookings, inventory, email. I connect the stack so work stops living in spreadsheets and copy-paste.
Off-the-shelf forces you to adapt
Your process is the product. I shape the software around it, not the other way around.
The site looks fine. It still underdelivers.
Slow, fragile, or impossible to extend. I rebuild for performance, clarity, and the next three years — not the last three.
You want AI that earns its place
Not a chatbot sticker. Thoughtful AI in the product or the build process, guided by someone who’s shipped software long before the hype cycle.

Plugins
WordPress plugins I’ve shipped
Small, focused plugins that fix one problem well — built for real WordPress sites.
BlueFeedSocialmedia
A social space on your web site. Share dives, spots, and stories on your BlueSky account and add the feed easily on you WordPress site with a simple plugin.
Authentic SenderSecure email sending
Connect your SMTP credentials once. Send every site email through trusted providers with your real identity.
Download SentinelSecure file download
Share downloads without exposing your files. Protect every file you share. Unique token links, locked storage, and clear day-by-day download analytics - built for WordPress.
Essential HeadersSecure headers
Put the HTTP security headers WordPress leaves out, on every response. One plugin. Clear settings. Browsers get CSP, HSTS, frame protection, and the rest—so your site stops shipping soft defaults.

Client note
“We at Flowin are incredibly pleased with the work Alex has done on our website. Previously, we had a great product, but our website didn't make it easy for our customers to understand why. Alex helped us clarify our messaging and create a site that truly reflects our passion for helping athletes train effectively and avoid injuries. The results speak for themselves — our sales have increased significantly, and we are receiving a wealth of positive feedback from our customers. We highly recommend Alex to any company looking to take their website to the next level.”
