All of the development, coding, testing and support is &#8220;Made in the USA&#8221;, staying true to our American values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who am I?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That woman is me, LaNette, a genuine Minnesota farmer&#8217;s daughter, raised on a farm tending gardens and livestock, barefoot in the summer, bundled up in the winter! Farm life teaches you that hard work is worth the effort and I applied that knowledge throughout my entire career as a software developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For nearly 40 years I have built applications for businesses across many industries: audit, banking, agriculture, retail, manufacturing, health care, construction, trucking and more. From small mom-and-pop shops to global commercial software, I learned there are three things that are consistent among users:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Users want software that makes their job easier, not more complicated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Users want the data they entered yesterday to be there again today.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Users want their data to be safe (no blue screen of death, please).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Big business can afford to fund internal IT departments with teams of developers to build their complex systems or to pay high subscription fees year after year.  But often small businesses don&#8217;t have that privilege.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What&#8217;s my goal?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I launched Phase25 Software to provide applications at an affordable price for freelancers, mom-and-pop shops and small businesses with the same enterprise quality as I delivered during my corporate IT years. I am now a freelancer, probably much like you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you purchase any of my products, you OWN it! No subscriptions, no maintenance fees and you get free updates whenever a new release is available (just click a button). Sounds too good to be true? I have three reasons why I&#8217;m doing this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Working with small businesses and independent entrepreneurs has been the most satisfying projects I have done.  Let&#8217;s not stop!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>My career has been very good to me&#8230; doing something you love means never having to work!  Time to give back.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I&#8217;m addicted to coding (yes, many of us geeks end up this way) and need a reason to keep doing what I do.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:24% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"455\" height=\"519\" src=\"https:\/\/phase25.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Dusty-02-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-699 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>So, me and my trusty sidekick, Dusty, are here!
