Software that fits the way you already work
Most businesses outgrow their spreadsheets long before they replace them. We build web applications and internal systems around the process you already have, so the software follows the business rather than the other way round.
- Built around your process
- Secure by default
- Documented and handed over
- Supported afterwards
You own the code, the data and the accounts. We hand over everything, including how to run it.
How we help with software development
Each piece can stand on its own, or run as one engagement with a single point of contact.
Web applications
Systems your team logs into every day: workflow, approvals, records and reporting.
- Role-based access
- Audit trails
- Reporting and exports
SaaS products
Multi-tenant products with billing, onboarding and the operational parts founders forget.
- Subscriptions and billing
- Tenant isolation
- Usage and metering
Internal systems
Inventory, scheduling, dispatch, HR or whatever the spreadsheet grew into.
- Data imported from spreadsheets
- Rules your staff recognise
- Built for daily use
APIs and integrations
Making the systems you already run talk to each other properly.
- REST and webhook APIs
- Third-party integrations
- Scheduled data exchange
Legacy modernisation
Rewriting or wrapping software that still works but nobody wants to touch.
- Incremental replacement
- Data migration
- Parallel running
Security and compliance
Authentication, permissions and logging built in rather than added when someone asks.
- Two-factor authentication
- Encryption in transit and at rest
- Permission models
Small releases, visible progress, no surprises
Long projects fail quietly: months pass, a demo appears, and it is not what anyone imagined. We ship in short cycles onto an environment you can open whenever you like, so the conversation is about working software rather than status reports.
- A working environment you can use from the first fortnight
- Short cycles with something to show at the end of each
- Your priorities can change between cycles
- Automated tests on the parts that matter
- The repository, the servers and the accounts are yours throughout
Four steps, and you can see all of them
No long silences. You see progress as it happens and can change direction between stages.
- 1
Discovery
We map the process, the people and the data before proposing anything, and write down what success looks like.
- 2
Shape and estimate
A scope you can read, split into releases, with a price against each rather than one intimidating number.
- 3
Build in cycles
Short iterations onto a staging environment, reviewed with you at the end of each.
- 4
Deploy and support
We put it live on infrastructure we run, train your team, and stay available afterwards.
Every project ends with the code in your repository, the documentation written and the accounts in your name, whether or not you keep us on afterwards.
What we build with
Chosen to suit the job and to be maintainable by whoever comes next.
- Laravel
- Node.js
- PHP
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL
- Redis
- React
- Next.js
- TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS
- Our cloud servers
- Docker
- CI pipelines
- Backups and monitoring
We favour boring, well-supported tools, because someone has to maintain this after we hand it over.
Where this work usually starts
Companies run on spreadsheets
The business works, but it depends on one file nobody dares touch.
Teams with a process nothing fits
Off-the-shelf software exists, but it would mean changing how the company works.
Founders with a product idea
A first version built properly enough to sell, without the gold plating.
Businesses with systems that do not talk
Data retyped between two systems every day because nothing connects them.
Organisations with reporting pain
Numbers that take a week to assemble and are out of date when they arrive.
Anyone inheriting old software
Something critical, undocumented, and written by someone who left.
Other things we do
Software Development, answered
How do you price a project?
After discovery, in stages. You get a price per release rather than one number for everything, so you can stop, change direction or spread the work out.
