Support after launch, not a hand-off and goodbye

Who we are

Engineers first, with design and creative skills alongside

We build web applications, SaaS platforms, custom business software, and the APIs and automations that connect them. Product design, AI integration, and creative production sit in the same team, so decisions about how something works and how it looks are made together.

We keep the studio deliberately small. You talk to the people doing the work, context isn't lost between departments, and the care that goes into the first release carries through to the tenth.

We work with founders validating a new product, established businesses replacing manual processes, and agencies that need a dependable engineering partner, wherever they're based.

Engineering principles

What we believe, and what we do about it

Principles only matter if they change how work gets done. Under each one are the practices we follow to meet it.

01
Maintainability

Software is changed far more often than it is written. We optimise for the next developer.
- Consistent conventions and readable code
- Documented setup, architecture, and decisions
- Dependencies chosen for longevity, not novelty
02
Security

Security is part of the design, not a final checklist item.
- Least-privilege access and secrets kept out of code
- Input validation and secure defaults
- Dependency updates and vulnerability checks
03
Scalability

Built for where you are now, with clear room to grow.
- Architecture matched to real, expected load
- Clear boundaries so parts can evolve independently
- Monitoring in place before it's needed
04
Quality

Quality is checked continuously, not inspected at the end.
- Code review on every change
- Automated tests for critical paths
- Testing on real devices and browsers
05
Communication

No surprises. You should always know where the project stands.
- Regular written progress updates
- Estimates with the assumptions behind them
- Early notice when scope, risk, or timing changes
06
Long-term support

Launch is a milestone, not the finish line.
- Handover documentation for your team
- Post-launch monitoring and fixes
- Ongoing improvement through maintenance and support

Quality standards

Our default definition of done

A feature isn't finished when it works on one laptop. Unless we agree otherwise for a project, work is ready to ship when it meets these standards.

Code reviewed before it is merged
Covered by automated tests where it matters
Checked against WCAG accessibility guidelines
Tested on the browsers and devices your users rely on
Within agreed performance budgets
Free of exposed secrets and known vulnerable dependencies
Documented for whoever works on it next
Reviewed and accepted by you

Communication & collaboration

Working together, wherever you are

Good software depends on good communication. We make progress visible and decisions easy to follow, whether you're across town or several time zones away.

A shared plan

Scope, milestones, and priorities written down and agreed at the start, then kept up to date as things change.
Regular, written updates

What was done, what's next, and anything that needs your input, in a format you can read on your own schedule.
Working software to review

Preview environments and demos let you see real progress early and give feedback before it's expensive to change.
Transparency about what you own

Where possible we set up code repositories and services in your accounts, so access and ownership stay clear from day one.

Project delivery

Five phases, each with something to show

Every phase ends with a concrete output you can review, so decisions are made with real information.

Discovery

We learn about your business, users, existing systems, and constraints, and agree what success looks like.

You receiveA summary of goals, risks, and recommended next steps
Planning & Architecture

We break the work into milestones and choose an architecture that fits your stage, budget, and roadmap.

You receiveA scoped plan, milestones, estimate, and technical approach
UI/UX Design

We map the key user flows and design clear, consistent, accessible interfaces, validated with you before build.

You receiveUser flows and reviewable designs or prototypes
Development & Testing

We build in small, reviewable increments, testing as we go and sharing progress regularly.

You receiveWorking software in a preview environment, updated as it grows
Launch & Ongoing Support

We release carefully, monitor closely after launch, and stay available to maintain and improve the product.

You receiveA production release, handover documentation, and a support plan
