What can we help you deliver?
When a project needs more than design, give Contic a call. Partnering with us gives your design agency access to the technical skills and experience to take on work you might otherwise have to turn away.
01
Websites and web applications
Need a polished website or bespoke web app? We can help turn your designs into functional, working products. We’ll prioritise your creativity, whilst delivering the robust back-end tech that makes everything possible.
02
Standalone apps and digital products
Need to build something that goes beyond a website? Proper functionality makes a well-designed app go from ‘digital novelty’ to ‘brand-building essential’. Contic can take you there.
03
Data and functionality integrations
Think user accounts, dashboards, data-heavy platforms, third-party integrations, or even something a little more unusual. Bring us the brief and we’ll work out the best way to make it happen.
04
AI, automations, and infrastructure
AI integrations can be extremely useful in projects with more demanding technical requirements. We can build in AI-powered features, and have the expertise to make sure they’re never just a gimmick.
Not sure exactly what the project needs tech-wise? Concerned that your client’s ideas are unworkable? No problem. We’ll talk you through the build process, and challenge poor thinking where needed.

01
Bring us in early
The earlier we understand your project, the better. We’ll get to grips with the creative vision quickly, suss out your client’s objectives, and work out what the finished product needs to achieve from a technical standpoint.
We’ll always ask questions. That’s how we work out the best way to do something. The earlier we’re in, the faster we can flag any potential problems – before they become expensive surprises.
02
Work through the details together
You’ve got great ideas and beautiful designs. We’ll help turn them into a technical delivery plan. What’s needed? What’s possible? And how are we going to get there? That will allow you to give your client a full picture of what’s going on at every single stage.
If something doesn’t make sense, we’ll say so. And then we’ll adjust the plan so that it does.
03
Build it properly
This is the part where our devs get to work, keeping you informed as the project progresses.
Every member of the Contic team is client-facing, so you’ll get updates from the exact person who’s working on your project – so nothing gets lost in the mix.
04
Get it out into the world
Once everything is built, we’ll help you to get it ready for launch. That means testing, re-testing, and doing any of the technical groundwork that’s needed.
And if your client needs ongoing support once the product is live, we can offer that as well.
Your client relationships are safe with Contic
We know you’ve worked hard to earn your client’s trust. The last thing you need is a dev partner that puts that relationship under pressure. That just isn’t us. At Contic, we believe in strengthening what you’ve already built, not getting in the way of it.
Work with a partner you can trust
We work alongside you, not separate from you.
We believe in working as an extension of your team. We don’t disappear into our development process, and we’re not going to compete with you for your clients’ attention.
We communicate properly.
You’ll have a direct line of communication to every member of the Contic team that’s working on your project. You’ll know where we’re at, and what still needs doing. You’ll never have to chase us for answers.
We’re honest about the hard stuff.
If a deadline is at risk, a requirement needs rethinking, or something is likely to cost more than expected, you’ll know straight away. We don’t like surprises, and we’re not going to give you any nasty ones.
We actually care. A lot.
Your brand reputation is attached to the finished product that we’re building for you. We take that incredibly seriously, and always strive to deliver a product that everyone involved is proud of.
In comparison to our prior experiences with various developers, Contic exhibited a notably higher level of productivity and efficiency.

Darren BeerHead of Marketing, Pristine ConditionFrequently asked questions
Do you work behind the scenes, or directly with our clients?
We can work in the way that best suits the project and your agency. We understand the importance of your client relationship and will agree roles, responsibilities and communication with you from the start.
Can you work with our existing designs and creative direction?
Absolutely. We want to understand the thinking behind the work so we can translate it into a product that delivers on the original vision. We’ll raise technical considerations where they matter, without losing sight of what you’re trying to achieve.
What if we’re not sure what’s technically possible?
That’s a good reason to talk to us. You don’t need to arrive with every technical detail worked out. We’ll ask the right questions, explore the options and help you understand the best route forward.
Can you support us when our own team is at capacity?
Yes. Whether you need specialist expertise for one project or development support for a larger piece of work, let’s talk about what you need and how we could fit in.
What about costs and timescales?
These depend on the scope and complexity of the project. We’ll work through the requirements with you and be upfront about the likely investment, timings and any challenges before work gets underway.
