Professional business websites
Clean messaging, responsive layouts, service pages, contact flows, SEO metadata, accessibility passes, analytics hooks, and deployable production files.
Codex-powered web, server, email, and AI development
Practical websites, servers, email systems, and AI workflows.
N8Soft uses Codex to design, build, refine, and deploy practical digital products: business websites, PHP/HTML/JavaScript applications, AI email responders, private email platforms, Linux web servers, Apache hosting stacks, MySQL-backed tools, dashboards, games, and security-minded operational workflows.
PHP, HTML, and JavaScript
AI email responders
Linux and Apache servers
Private email systems
Security audits and mitigation
Fast
AI-assisted iteration from copy to code.
Practical
Websites that do real work, not just look good.
Flexible
PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, APIs, Linux, Apache, MySQL, email, and automation.
Capabilities
Website, server, email, security, and AI development with Codex as a force multiplier.
The N8Soft workflow combines human taste and product judgment with Codex-assisted implementation. That means faster prototypes, cleaner revisions, better documented server work, and more ambitious functionality inside a small-team budget.
PHP, HTML, and JavaScript with Codex
Server-rendered PHP, structured HTML, responsive CSS, JavaScript interfaces, API integrations, admin tools, forms, dashboards, and practical custom utilities built and refined with Codex-assisted development.
Custom AI assistants
Web and email assistants that can work with attachments, research the web, answer questions, collect intake details, summarize conversations, and support real workflows instead of only producing chat demos.
AI email autoresponders
Inbound email workflows that read customer messages, handle attachments, draft or send useful replies, route context to a human, copy administrators, log outcomes, and turn repetitive inbox work into a traceable process.
Linux server administration
Ubuntu/Linux setup, users and permissions, Apache virtual hosts, PHP runtime configuration, SSL certificates with Certbot, MySQL/MariaDB administration, backups, migrations, monitoring, and deployment troubleshooting.
Private business email systems
N8Soft specializes in self-hosted email platforms with mailboxes, aliases, webmail, IMAP/IMAPS, SMTP/SMTPS, STARTTLS submission, mobile sync, contacts, calendars, DNS records, spam controls, and encrypted backups.
Audits and incident response
Security audits, patch review, log review, exposed file checks, credential rotation plans, post-intrusion documentation, mitigation steps, cleanup guidance, and hardening recommendations after a compromise.
Live information products
Weather, news, almanac data, cached API feeds, local dashboards, public-facing utility sites, and data-backed pages that stay useful after launch.
Interactive web applications
Games, calculators, dashboards, control panels, browser tools, single-purpose web utilities, deployment-ready file structures, and a workflow built for ongoing updates.
Server operations
Linux, Apache, SSL, and database work
- Linux administration for users, permissions, packages, firewall posture, scheduled jobs, logs, and recovery tasks.
- Apache virtual hosts, rewrite rules, HTTPS redirects, PHP application hosting, and practical troubleshooting.
- SSL/TLS setup and renewals using Certbot and Let's Encrypt, plus certificate checks and HTTPS hardening.
- MySQL/MariaDB setup, backups, imports, basic schema support, application credentials, and migration help.
Email systems
Private email infrastructure
- Multi-domain mail hosting with user mailboxes, aliases, forwarders, webmail, administrative controls, status checks, and account management.
- Inbound SMTP, authenticated SMTP submission, SMTPS, STARTTLS, IMAP, IMAPS, Exchange/ActiveSync-style mobile access, CalDAV/CardDAV contacts and calendars, and client autoconfiguration.
- Deliverability and security records including MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, DNSSEC/DANE TLSA where appropriate, reverse DNS guidance, and custom DNS records.
- Spam filtering, greylisting, server-side mail filtering, encrypted backups, restore planning, and operational documentation.
Security response
Audit, document, mitigate
- Website and server security audits focused on exposed files, outdated code, weak permissions, suspicious changes, and risky configuration.
- Post-intrusion documentation with timelines, observed indicators, affected files or accounts, evidence notes, and practical next actions.
- Mitigation support covering credential rotation, patching, malware cleanup coordination, backup review, access tightening, and follow-up hardening.
Selected work
Projects that show what N8Soft can build.
These projects span public websites, live data, AI assistance, and entertainment. Together they show a practical development range: useful, interactive, and shipped.
Local information platform
Visit Muskegon Almanac
MuskegonAlmanac.com
A live Muskegon weather and almanac website built around daily usefulness. The site combines current conditions, forecasts, outdoor activity windows, sunrise and sunset timing, twilight data, moon phase details, local news, radar, and seasonal calendar information in one public-facing dashboard.
It demonstrates N8Soft's ability to turn live data feeds into a polished local information product: structured, scannable, responsive, and designed for repeat visits instead of one-time browsing.
Community chat experiment
Visit Muskegon Buzz
MuskegonBuzz.com
A lightweight Muskegon-focused chatroom that blends a familiar room-based interface with AI-assisted conversation support. The project is intentionally direct: people choose a screen name, pick a topic, and enter a local conversation without navigating a heavy social network.
Muskegon Buzz shows how N8Soft can build compact community tools with real-time interaction, simple moderation surfaces, location-specific topics, and an approachable user experience for public use.
AI-developed games
View the games
n8soft.itch.io
A growing collection of free browser games and interactive experiments published on itch.io. The games emphasize short sessions, clear rules, steady pacing, predictable controls, and approachable mechanics for players who prefer structure and low-friction play.
This portfolio highlights N8Soft's rapid prototyping workflow: game ideas can move from concept to playable HTML experiences, get packaged for the web, and keep improving through AI-assisted iteration.
AI education platform
Visit RoboTeach
RoboTeach.us
A free AI teaching assistant for creating narrated lessons, review questions, shareable lesson pages, and QR-friendly classroom materials. Teachers, parents, and students can use it to turn a topic into a structured learning experience without needing a separate production workflow.
RoboTeach demonstrates product depth beyond a simple chat interface: lesson generation, public links, media-oriented presentation, usage counters, and a front door built around immediate creation.
AI concierge demonstration
Visit Sierge
Sierge.us
An upscale digital concierge demo for busy clients who want fast, polished help finding flights, restaurants, hotels, venues, gifts, local services, travel plans, and hard-to-find information.
Sierge demonstrates how the Kate assistant framework can be specialized into a branded vertical product with web research, file handling, optional location context, voice tools, and a refined user experience.
Tools, dashboards, and browser apps
The N8Soft codebase includes games, simulations, utility apps, email tooling, contact flows, and custom PHP/JavaScript experiences that can be adapted for client work.

Kate
An AI assistant as a working product, not a pitch deck.
Kate is N8Soft's AI assistant prototype. She is available on the web and by email, can work with attachments, can research live web information to produce grounded answers, and can explain N8Soft's website, server, email, security, and AI automation services.
What this demonstrates
- AI interfaces that feel approachable and useful.
- Email-based automation for real-world workflows.
- Attachment handling and web research capability.
- Project intake for websites, Linux servers, email systems, security audits, and AI responders.
- A path from prototype to specialized assistant products.
