Trusted for20+ Yearsof delivering custom IT solutions
ENGINEERED TO ENDURE .
we don't ship throwaway code ✦
Two decades building custom software that holds up in production — web platforms, cloud infrastructure, AI and mobile, engineered for companies that cannot afford downtime.
We build software that is still running in ten years.
That longevity is the whole job. A senior team delivering custom web, cloud, AI and mobile systems for companies that cannot afford downtime. No templates, no hand-offs.
We architect web platforms that stay fast under real load — clean domain models, sensible caching, and test coverage where it counts. From first migration to production rollout, you get a codebase your team can actually maintain.
We turn deployment from an event into a non-event. Infrastructure as code, automated pipelines, observability that surfaces problems before your users do, and security baked into the pipeline rather than bolted on afterwards.
We start with the job your users are trying to do, then design the shortest honest path to it. Research, flows, prototypes and a design system your engineers can build from without guessing.
Editors should never need a developer to publish. We build content models around how your team actually works, with editing interfaces that are obvious on first use and fast on the hundredth.
We build AI that earns its place in production: retrieval grounded in your own data, evaluation before rollout, and guardrails so the system fails safely. No demos that collapse on contact with real users.
Native-quality apps without maintaining two codebases. Offline-first data, real push notifications, and store submissions handled — so launch day is a formality rather than a scramble.

Questions, answered
everything a CTO would ask on a discovery call, minus the call.
how it works
answer
Every project starts with a scoping call and a short technical discovery phase. You get a written proposal covering timeline, team and a fixed price or a capped time-and-materials estimate — you approve scope before we write a line of code.
timeline
answer
It depends on scope: a focused MVP typically ships in 6 to 10 weeks, a full platform build in 3 to 6 months. Whatever the length, we work in weekly sprints with a visible backlog, so you always know exactly what shipped and what's next.
ownership
answer
Yes, entirely. Repositories, infrastructure and documentation are transferred to your organisation — no vendor lock-in, no licensing you don't control. If you want to bring development in-house later, everything is built to hand over cleanly.
support
answer
Launch is a milestone, not an exit. Most clients move onto a support and maintenance retainer — monitoring, security patching and a defined response SLA — or keep us on for ongoing feature work. Either way, the same engineers who built it are the ones supporting it.
compliance
answer
All engagements run under NDA, with GDPR-aligned data handling for UK and EU clients and secure development practices throughout — code review, dependency scanning and access controls as standard, not an add-on.
pricing
answer
It depends on scope, but most engagements land between £30,000 for a focused MVP and £350,000+ for a complex, multi-role platform. We price after discovery, not before it, so the number reflects your actual scope rather than a generic band. See our pricing page for a full breakdown.
engagement
answer
Both, depending on how well-defined the scope is. A tightly-specified integration or feature suits a fixed price; a genuinely new product suits a capped time-and-materials retainer, where cost transparency stays high but scope can flex as you learn. We will recommend one, not just offer both and let you guess.
minimum
answer
No fixed minimum, but most projects need at least a few weeks to move past discovery. For ongoing work, our retainer can scale up or down monthly — there is no long-term lock-in contract.
stack
answer
Primarily Laravel, Node.js, React, Vue and Python on the backend and frontend, deployed on AWS or equivalent managed cloud infrastructure. We choose the stack for the problem, not the other way around, and we are equally comfortable extending an existing codebase in a stack we did not originally choose.
legacy
answer
Yes — this is a large part of what we do. We start with a short technical audit to understand what is genuinely load-bearing versus what needs rework, then agree a plan before touching production. See our guide on rebuild vs refactor for how we approach that decision.
team
answer
A small, named senior team — the engineers who scope the work are the ones who build it, not a rotating pool of whoever is free. You will know exactly who you are talking to for the life of the engagement.
communication
answer
A shared channel for day-to-day questions, a weekly progress update with a working demo, and direct access to the engineers — not a project manager relaying messages. You always know what shipped this week and what is next.
ir35
answer
No. We engage as a business-to-business services contract, not a personal service company supplying an individual's time — there is no IR35 determination for your business to make. Full detail in our IR35 guide.
nda
answer
Yes, always, and usually before the first proper scoping call — we expect it and will often send one ourselves if you do not.
change
answer
They usually do, at least a little, and that is normal. We work in short sprints with a visible backlog, so re-prioritising is a conversation, not a formal change-request process — genuinely new scope is quoted separately rather than silently absorbed or blocking progress on everything else.
unhappy
answer
Tell us — weekly demos exist precisely so nothing surprising shows up at the end. Because engagements are not locked into a long contract, you are never stuck; in practice this comes up rarely because scope is agreed before we build, not after.
mvp
answer
Yes — MVPs are a large share of our work, typically delivered in 8 to 12 weeks for a well-scoped core journey. See our MVP delivery guide for how we scope one properly.
industries
answer
Travel and booking platforms, fintech, logistics, healthcare-adjacent (non-clinical) systems, and B2B SaaS, among others. If your sector is not on that list, the underlying engineering discipline — scoping, architecture, secure delivery — carries across regardless.
testing
answer
Yes, as standard, not as an optional extra — automated test coverage, code review and handover documentation are part of every build, so what you own at the end is something your own team (or ours, on an ongoing retainer) can actually maintain.
regions
answer
Yes — alongside UK clients we deliver for businesses across the EU and US, with overlapping working hours and GDPR-aligned data handling as the default, not a special request.
