What we build

Applications that earn their keep.

The systems at the centre of how a business runs: the ones people open first thing in the morning, and the ones customers judge you by.

Web applications

Bespoke systems for the way your business actually works, not the way an off-the-shelf package assumes it does.

Customer portals

A secure place for your customers to sign in, see their account, raise requests and download what they need.

Internal tools & dashboards

Replace the spreadsheet that quietly runs the business with something fast, shared and audited.

APIs & integrations

Connect the systems you already have, so information moves on its own and is right first time.

Rescue & modernise

Take an ageing or half-finished application, make it safe, then make it better, without a risky big-bang rewrite.

Hosting & care

We deploy, monitor, patch and back up what we build, so it keeps running smoothly long after launch.

From first chat to running in production.

01 / 04

01 · LISTEN

Listen.

We start with how your business works today and what's getting in the way. You get a short, plain-English write-up of what we heard, and what we'd build first.

A conversation, not a questionnaire
Must-haves separated from nice-to-haves
Honest advice, including when not to build

02 · SHAPE

Shape.

We sketch the key screens, agree the scope of the first release, and give you a fixed quote for it. No open-ended meter running in the background.

Clickable screens before any code
One fixed price per release
Your brand, colours and tone

03 · BUILD

Build.

Short cycles you can see: working software every week or two, on a test site you can use, with automated tests behind every change.

Progress you can click, not just read about
Tests on every change
Clean, documented code you own

04 · LOOK AFTER

Look after.

We launch on secure, monitored hosting, then keep it patched, backed up and improving for as long as you need us.

Monitoring, backups and security updates
Small improvements, little and often
A direct line to the person who built it

QuoteService.cs

public async Task<QuoteDTO> ReviseAsync(long quoteID)
{
    // A revision is the next version: same number, new draft.
    var original = await this.FindAsync(quoteID);
    var versions = await this.quotes.VersionsAsync(original.Year, original.Sequence);
    var revision = original.CopyAs(versions.Max(v => v.Version) + 1);

    foreach (var older in versions)
    {
        older.IsSuperseded = true;
    }

    await this.quotes.SaveAsync();
    return this.Describe(revision);
}

How we do business

The small print, in big print.

01
Fixed quotes
Every release is quoted up front, in writing. If our estimate turns out to be wrong, that's our problem, not yours.
02
Your code, your keys
You own everything we write: the code, the data, and the accounts it runs on. No lock-in, no hostage situations.
03
Secure from line one
Sign-in, permissions and audit trails are designed in from the start: the habits of years spent building for regulated finance.
04
One person, start to finish
You talk to the developer building your system, not an account manager relaying messages. Questions get real answers.

Featured work

Conform: compliance, without the paperwork.

A risk and compliance platform for regulated firms: assessments, findings and remediation in one place, with an audit trail regulators like to see.

Configurable assessments, workflows and forms
Activity boards, back-logs and remediation tracking
Role-based access with every change recorded
