Product development

Apps and websites built to still be maintainable when the people who built them have moved on.

Webpage wireframes displaying sections like "Contact," "Careers," and "Blog" with colored menu items, arranged in a scattered layout all interconnected.

Building the thing you’ve been told is too complicated

We take on the awkward projects — the integration nobody wants to own, the rebuild that keeps getting deferred. You get working software in weeks, not a document about working software.

Our services include

App and web development

The thing your customers actually touch.

We build apps and websites that are quick, reliable and don’t fall over the week you get written about. That means proper foundations: search engines can read it, it works on a four-year-old phone, and when something does break you find out before your users tell you. You own the code and you can take it elsewhere.

Lean project management

Fewer meetings, more decisions.

We’d rather test an assumption in a fortnight than argue about it for a quarter. So we work in short cycles, put things in front of real users early, and change course when the evidence says to. You’ll always know what we’re working on, what it costs and what’s at risk. And you’ll hear about a problem when we spot it, not at the end of the month.

C-level advisory

A technical opinion with nothing to sell you.

Sometimes you need someone to read the proposal and tell you whether it’s reasonable. We do that — on hiring, architecture, what your roadmap will actually cost, and whether the quote in front of you is fair. Non-technical founders use us to ask the questions they’d rather not ask a supplier. Experienced teams use us for the opinion their own suppliers have an interest in not giving.
