Straight answers
If something is not worth building, or will cost more than it is worth, we will say so.
Your I.T partner, not just a supplier.
We would rather be the people you call when something comes up than the people you hear from when an invoice is due. Here is what working with us looks like, in plain words.
Your business doing well is the best thing that can happen to us. Everything below follows from that.
A partner you can consult
Think of us as the I.T department you can pick up the phone to.
Not every question is a project. Sometimes you just want a second opinion before signing with a supplier, a sense check on a quote, or someone to explain what your developer actually meant. We are happy to be that person. Talk to us early, before decisions are made rather than after, and we will tell you honestly what we think, including when the answer is that you do not need to spend anything at all.
Generous free hours, every month
Support and advice are part of the relationship, not an extra.
Every client gets a generous allowance of free hours each month to use as they see fit. Use them to talk through a problem, get guidance on a decision, or have us look at something that is not working. It is not limited to technical topics either. If you want to think out loud about the business side, pricing, tools or priorities, we are glad to help.
Design, from the ground up
From a rough idea to a finished, working interface.
We design with you from the very beginning. That means sitting down with how your customers and your team actually work, then shaping it into something clear and easy to use. We stay with it through to launch, so what is designed is what gets built.
- Wireframes and structure
- UX journeys
- Visual design
- Implementation
Development across the stack
One team for the whole build.
We build back-end systems and APIs, front-end websites and applications, and native mobile apps. Having one team on all of it means fewer hand-offs, fewer misunderstandings and software that fits together properly, and it means you only have one number to call.
- Back-end and APIs
- Front-end and web apps
- Native mobile
- Integrations
Cloud and edge, on our own servers
Hosting that is run by the people who built it.
We host and run your platform on our own servers, including edge computing so your product responds quickly wherever your customers are. When we build it and we host it, there is no finger-pointing between suppliers when something needs attention. It is looked after by the team that knows it best.
No cut of your revenue
We are not interested in taking a percentage.
We do not take a share of your sales, bookings or growth. We believe that when your business does well, that naturally benefits us too, through the work you bring us and the relationship we keep. We are not looking to squeeze every pound or euro out of you, and we would like you to keep what you earn.
Fair prices, in the way that suits you
We are not chasing big growth, so we do not need big rates.
We are a small team and we like it that way. That means we do not have to charge inflated hourly rates to feed a large overhead. Depending on what you need, we can quote a fixed price so you know exactly what to expect, or work hourly where the scope is open ended. If you are not sure which suits you better, we will talk it through and recommend one.
Long-term thinking
We would rather look after one client well for years than chase a new one every month.
