Web applications
Product front-ends and internal tools. React, Next.js or Astro on the client; Node or Python behind it; Postgres underneath. We cover auth, roles, payments, file handling and the admin screens your team will actually live in.
Services
We work on a small number of projects at a time. Below is what we take on and how the commercial side is arranged.
Capabilities
APIs and integrations
Services other systems depend on. Versioned endpoints, real error handling, retries and idempotency on anything that touches money or messaging, and documentation written for the person who joins next year.
Cloud and deployment
Getting the thing live and keeping it there. Containerised builds, infrastructure defined in code, CI on every push, structured logs, alerting that fires before your customers notice, and a rollback you have practised.
Websites
Company sites, landing pages, online stores, booking and enquiry portals — built to whatever the requirement is. Fast, searchable, correct on a phone, and handed over so your own team can edit the content without calling us. Hosting and ongoing support if you want it.
Shopify stores
Storefronts built or migrated onto Shopify — theme work in Liquid rather than a pile of app embeds, product and order data moved across with the redirect map checked against your real traffic, and ERP, inventory and accounting wired in through the Admin API with reconciliation so a failed sync shows up in a report rather than as a wrong stock count.
Mobile applications
Apps for iOS and Android from a single codebase, with native behaviour where it matters — offline handling, push, biometrics and deep links. We handle store submission, review responses and the release train, so an update is routine rather than an event.
AI features
Practical AI inside a product you already have — an assistant grounded in your own documents rather than guessing, extraction from invoices and forms, classification and summarising. The engineering that matters here is the part around the model: what it is allowed to see, what happens when it returns nonsense, and how a person stays in the loop on anything that costs money or sends a message.
Rescue and refactor
For a codebase that has outgrown whoever wrote it. We start with a two-week audit: what is fragile, what is expensive, what would break under load. Then we fix it in priority order, adding tests as we go.
Ways to work with us
Three arrangements. Most clients start with the first.
Discovery week
Fixed fee
Five days. We interview your team, read whatever code exists, and produce a written specification with a scoped estimate. Yours to keep and take to any developer.
Best when the problem is clear but the solution is not.
Project build
Fixed scope
A defined deliverable with a milestone schedule. Two-week cycles, a deployed build at the end of each, invoicing tied to milestones rather than hours.
Best for a first version or a well-bounded feature.
Retained team
Monthly
A set number of engineering days each month against a rolling backlog you control. Cancel with 30 days notice.
Best for ongoing product work and maintenance.
Rates depend on scope and timeline. Tell us what you need and we will send a figure before you commit to anything.
Specific problems we solve
Detail pages on the work people most often come to us for.
- Subscription billing systems We build and fix subscription billing — renewals, proration, mid-term plan changes and refunds — for companies whose revenue depends on getting it right.
- Payment gateway integration Payment gateway integration done properly — idempotent callbacks, clean failure handling and reconciliation, so money never goes missing.
- Shopify store development Shopify stores built, migrated and extended — themes, integrations and the subscription and checkout work most agencies will not touch.
- Website migration off a site builder Move off GoDaddy, Wix or Squarespace to a fast, owned website without losing your search rankings or your email.
