Roanoke Rapids, NC · Since 1998
We figure out what your business actually needs, then help you get it.
Walker Software Consulting is owned by Tom Walker and serves small businesses in Northeast North Carolina and Southeast Virginia. Sometimes the answer is a new tool, custom software, or a simple change. Sometimes it's nothing at all, and we'll tell you so.

Services
Consulting
Every job starts here. We learn how your business runs and work out what you actually need, which isn't always what you came in asking for. Then we recommend whether to buy something, build something, or tweak what you already have.
Our advice is for your benefit only. We take no commissions and resell nothing. If you don't need anything built, we'll say so.
Solutions
What you need decides what comes next. You choose how much help you want.
Buy or Tweak
Often the best answer is a tool that already exists, or a small change to how you work now. We'll point you to the right one and, if you want, help you set it up and get your people using it.
Website Design
A website that fits your business, works on a phone, and follows current web standards. New site or fresh look, we'll build what you need.
Website Management
We can run your website for you, including hosting and domain registration and renewal, so you can focus on your business.
Custom Software
When nothing off the shelf fits, we build software that automates a repetitive task or simplifies a complex process.
Work
- The need
- Iron Horse Farms boards horses and manages pasture in Fuquay-Varina, NC. Their website came from a free online service with a few stock designs, and a competing farm was using the same service and the same design. They wanted to look like themselves, and they wanted someone else to handle upkeep and administration.
- Our recommendation
- A design made for Iron Horse Farms alone, with us taking over maintenance and administration.
- The outcome
- A website that no competitor shares, kept up by us so the owners can stay with the horses.
- The need
- Quickill is a family-owned pest control company in Fuquay-Varina, NC. Their existing website didn't match their logo and colors, and they didn't want to take on upkeep or administration.
- Our recommendation
- A fresh design built around their logo and colors, with us handling maintenance and administration.
- The outcome
- A website that matches the Quickill brand, kept up by us.
