Custom Software Development

Web platforms, internal tools and customer portals built by small senior teams, shipped in two-week increments you can review.

We build the software that off-the-shelf products cannot handle — the workflow that is specific to how your business actually runs. Our teams are deliberately small and deliberately senior, working in two-week sprints against a backlog you control. Every change goes through peer review and an automated test suite before it reaches your environment, and you get a working, demonstrable increment at the end of each sprint rather than a status report.

What this includes

  • Web applications and customer portals
  • API design, integrations and data migration
  • Automated tests and code review on every change

Other services

UI/UX Design

Research-led interface design and a component library your developers can build from without guesswork.

Cloud & DevOps

Infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines and monitoring — so deploying to production stops being an event.

How we deliver

From first workshop to live service

Seven stages, one accountable team. Each stage ends with something you can review and a decision that is yours to make — nothing moves forward without your sign-off.

Discover

Typically 2–4 weeks

Workshops with your stakeholders, interviews with the people who will use the product, and a hard look at the systems it has to live alongside.

What you get

  • Problem statement and success measures
  • User journeys and current-process map
  • Risky assumptions, tested
Your decision point You decide whether to proceed — with no obligation to use us for the build.

Plan

Typically 1–2 weeks

Discovery becomes a delivery plan you can budget against: what gets built first, what waits, and what it is likely to cost.

What you get

  • Prioritised backlog and release roadmap
  • Architecture recommendation
  • Costed estimate as a range, assumptions written down
Your decision point Scope, budget range and change process agreed in writing.

Design

Runs a sprint ahead of build

Clickable prototypes tested with real users, then a design system your engineers can build from without guesswork.

What you get

  • Tested prototypes of the core journeys
  • Design system and component library
  • Accessibility checked against WCAG 2.2 AA
Your decision point You approve each journey before it goes into a sprint.

Build

Two-week sprints

Small senior teams shipping working software every fortnight, in your repositories, against a backlog you control.

What you get

  • A demonstrable increment every sprint
  • Peer review and automated tests on every change
  • Documentation written as we go
Your decision point Sprint review with you; reprioritise freely between sprints.

Assure

Continuous, plus pre-release

Quality built into the pipeline rather than discovered by a customer — regression, performance and security checks before anything ships.

What you get

  • End-to-end regression suite on key journeys
  • Load and performance testing
  • Dependency and security scanning
Your decision point Release readiness review against agreed acceptance criteria.

Deploy

Release-ready from the first sprint

Infrastructure as code, automated pipelines and monitoring, in your own cloud accounts — so going live is routine and reversible.

What you get

  • Infrastructure as code in your cloud account
  • CI/CD with automated rollback
  • Monitoring, alerting and runbooks
Your decision point Go-live sign-off and a rehearsed rollback plan.

Support & evolve

Ongoing, or a clean handover

A support agreement with response times in writing and time each month for improvements — or a structured handover to your own team.

What you get

  • Support agreement with defined response times
  • Monthly improvement allocation
  • Handover sessions and pairing, if you take it in-house
Your decision point You own everything — code, infrastructure and documentation.
