Who we build for
Three kinds of client. One way of working.
Founders with an idea
You know the problem and maybe have funding. We help you find the smallest product worth building, fix its price, and ship it in weeks.
Events, ticketing and bookings
Organisers, studios and venues who want a platform of their own. We’ve built and run one in production, so we know where the hard parts are.
Businesses outgrowing spreadsheets
Established North East firms running on Excel and email. We replace them with software that fits how you work — from just down the road.
What we build
Software that businesses run on.
Six things we do, all in service of one: getting a real product in front of real users, then making it better.
SaaS & web platforms
Dashboards, workflows and customer portals with real business logic — software that replaces the spreadsheets you’ve outgrown.
- Custom web applications
- Workflow automation
- API and third-party integrations
AI & automation
Useful AI inside your product: assistants that answer from your own data, document processing, and automation that removes busywork.
- LLM features and retrieval (RAG)
- Document extraction
- Tested on your data before launch
Mobile apps
iOS and Android apps from one codebase, sharing the same backend as your web product so everything stays in sync.
- React Native and Expo
- Offline support and real-time sync
- App Store and Google Play releases
Cloud & DevOps
Hosting, deployments and monitoring set up properly, so releases are routine and outages are rare.
- Vercel, AWS or Azure
- Automated testing and deployment
- Backups, security and monitoring
Product strategy & UX
Discovery and design before code. We find the smallest product worth building and test it with real users first.
- Discovery workshops
- Prototypes and UX design
- User research
How we work
A short, honest process.
No six-month specification phase and no black box. You see working software every two weeks from the start of the build.
- 01
Discovery · 1–2 weeks
We talk to you and, where we can, your future users. You get user journeys, a scoped first version, a fixed price and a roadmap.
- 02
Design · 2–3 weeks
Clickable prototypes you can put in front of customers. We change things here, where change is cheap.
- 03
Build · 6–12 weeks
Two-week sprints with a live staging link. You see working software every fortnight and steer as we go.
- 04
Launch and grow
We ship, measure what people do, and keep improving it. Most clients keep us on month to month after launch.
Working together
Clear prices. A fixed first phase.
Most MVPs land between £15k and £60k. After a free discovery call we give you a fixed price for the first phase and a roadmap for the rest — no open-ended hourly billing.
See pricing and get an estimateBuild from scratch
You have an idea or a proven need. We take it from discovery through design, build and launch — a complete product, shipped.
Discovery and roadmap · Design and full-stack build · Launch and handover
Scale or rescue
You have a product that needs to grow, get faster, or be rescued from technical debt. We review it first, then stabilise and scale it.
Code and architecture review · Performance and refactoring · New features
Embedded team
You need engineers who join your team and ship alongside you, with product thinking included.
Dedicated engineers · Your tools and workflow · Flexible, month to month
Why we build this way
Too many good ideas die in the gap between a pitch deck and working software — passed from a salesperson to a project manager to a developer the client never meets.
We work the other way round. The people you speak to are the people who build your product. We fix the price of the first phase before you commit. Everything we write belongs to you. And when it launches, we don’t disappear — we’re still here in Darlington, making it better.
