Custom software
Software designed for the way your organisation works.
Web and mobile applications built to your requirements, with maintainable code, documentation and handover you control.
Overview
Off-the-shelf software fits most needs. When it does not — because your process is your advantage or no product serves your market — custom software is worth considering.
We design and build web and mobile applications with an engineering process focused on clarity, testing and maintainability, so the system remains an asset rather than a liability.
Capabilities
What we deliver
Discovery and product design
Workshops, user research and prototypes that turn ideas into a prioritised, estimated scope.
Web applications
Responsive applications built with mainstream, well-supported frameworks and typed languages.
Mobile applications
Android and iOS apps designed for variable connectivity and the devices your users actually have.
Testing and quality
Automated tests, code review and continuous integration on every change.
Legacy modernisation
Incremental replacement of ageing systems with careful data migration and minimal disruption.
Maintenance and support
Agreed support arrangements covering fixes, updates, security patches and improvements.
Engagement
What you receive
Scope is confirmed in a written proposal after discovery. A typical engagement includes:
- Source code in a repository you own
- Architecture and operations documentation
- Automated test suite and deployment pipeline
- Handover sessions for your technical team
Common questions
Ownership terms are set out in the contract. Our standard position is that you own the code written for your project and receive full access to the repository.
After discovery we provide a scoped proposal. Larger projects are split into phases so you can review progress and adjust priorities.
