Custom web apps for UK organisations

The software your business actually needs. At a price that makes sense.

Custom web apps, planned around the way you work and built for a fixed price you agree before anything starts.

Sound familiar?

You know there’s a better way.

  • Spreadsheets held together with hope.

    One wrong formula and a morning disappears. Only one person really knows how it all works.

  • Off-the-shelf tools that almost fit.

    You pay for features you never use, and work around the ones you actually need.

  • An agency quote that made you close the tab.

    Tens of thousands of pounds, months of waiting, and still no clear idea what you would get.

  • An idea stuck on the to-do list.

    You know it would work. You just haven’t found a sensible way to get it built.

What you get

Software that fits you.

Not a template bent into shape. Something made for the way your organisation already works.

  • Built around your process

    Your team keeps working the way that suits them. The software fits in, not the other way round.

  • Understood before it’s built

    Time is spent learning your business, your people and your goals before a line of code is written.

  • A price you can trust

    Fixed in writing before work starts. It won’t creep.

  • Progress you can see

    Regular demos keep you in control. You can try things early and steer as it grows.

  • Something that’s yours

    Your code, your data and your domain. It keeps working after launch, and no one can hold it back from you.

How it works

Four steps. You’re in control of each one.

  1. You tell us what you need

    A few calls and plenty of questions. Explain it your way. No jargon, and no technical knowledge needed.

  2. You get a clear plan and a fixed price

    A written plan in plain English: what will be built, how long it will take and exactly what it costs. Nothing starts until you’re happy.

  3. You see it take shape

    Regular demos show you real progress. You can try it, give feedback and change direction early.

  4. You launch, and it’s yours

    Your app goes live on your own domain. You own the code and the data, and you’re shown how everything works.

Pricing

What could your budget build?

Every project is a complete, working product. A bigger budget buys more time to plan, build and get the details right.

Your budget

£8,000

Around

1 month

A product to grow with.

Something your customers or team can rely on every day, built with care and ready to grow.

Talk about this budget

Your exact price is fixed in writing before we start. Not sure what you need? Just ask.

Why it costs less

Agency quality, without the agency bill.

A big part of an agency quote pays for account managers, meetings and layers of people between you and the work. Here, modern AI tools handle the routine code, and you deal directly with the person building your app, in the UK and in your time zone. You get careful, well-made software and pay far less for it.

No surprises

A price that stays put.

Five promises, in writing, on every project.

  • Your price is fixed

    Agreed in writing once your needs are understood. It doesn’t change.

  • Overruns are our problem, not yours

    If the work takes longer than planned, you don’t pay more.

  • New ideas are priced before they’re built

    You see the cost first, and you decide whether to go ahead.

  • Running costs are clear upfront

    You know what hosting and support will cost before you commit.

  • You own everything

    Your code, your data and your domain. No lock-in.

Tell us what you’re trying to do.

A free, friendly call. No pressure, time limit or jargon. You’ll come away with a clearer idea of what you need and what it might cost.
