AI that does real work.

Search across your documents, assistants for customers and staff, and automations that remove manual work, with your data kept in your own accounts.

Systems that talk to each other.

CRMs, payments, data and older systems connected, so spreadsheets stop holding the business together.

You stay in control.

We work in your repositories, your code reviews and your security rules, and hand over everything documented.

Straight answers, and dates that hold.

The person who scopes your project leads it and answers your messages. You see working progress throughout, and a launch date we agree is one we keep.

Why us

Why established teams bring us in

  1. Enterprise-tested.

    Our founder built RBS's private employee search on the Google Search Appliance and led engineering on Unilever's platform for four hundred brands. We know what enterprise-grade means.

  2. Senior people only.

    The person who scopes your project leads it to launch and is the one you talk to. No account managers relaying messages, no juniors learning on your budget.

  3. Works alongside your team.

    We fit into your process, your repositories and your reviews, and leave your people stronger than we found them.

  4. Tested, and under warranty.

    Every build is tested rigorously before it reaches you, on real phones and real browsers. We deliver it bug-free and back that with a warranty: if a bug turns up, we fix it at our cost.

How it goes

  1. A conversation

    You tell us what you need to happen. We ask about the business, the audience and the deadline, and give you an honest view on fit.

  2. A plan and a price

    A written plan of what we will build, in what order, for how much. No surprises later.

  3. The build

    You see working progress throughout, tested as we go on real phones and browsers. Decisions are made with you, not for you.

  4. Launch, and handover

    We launch it, measure how people really use it, and keep improving what matters.

“You gotta hire these guys, they are awesome!”

The site speaks for itself, but what speaks even louder was the ease of the creation process. What's key is the site's responsiveness to all devices and the clean, professional feel. They have a team of digital wizards and if you're lucky enough to hire them to build your site, you're going to be as honoured as I am.

Questions people ask first

What happens if something breaks after launch?

We fix it. Everything we build is tested rigorously before it goes live and comes with a warranty, so if a bug turns up, putting it right is our cost, not yours.

Can you work inside our existing codebase and processes?

Yes. We are used to pull requests, code review, security requirements and procurement. Tell us how you work and we will fit in.

What about security and compliance?

Security is designed in from the start: access control, data handling and audit. We work to your requirements and tell you where they need strengthening.

Do you sign NDAs and supplier agreements?

Yes.

What does a project cost?

Platform projects typically start around £15,000. We give you a fixed price for a defined scope.

Do you have designers, illustrators and specialists in-house?

We keep a small senior core and bring in the right designers, illustrators, motion and 3D artists and specialist engineers for each project, because the best person for one project is rarely the best for the next. You get one point of contact who leads them all, and one fixed price.

Can you build AI into it?

Yes. We build AI features into websites and apps: assistants that answer questions, search that understands what people mean, tools that draft and sort content, and automations that save your team time. We use the leading AI models, keep your data in accounts you control, and only suggest AI where it earns its place.

Your project

What needs building?

The problem, the systems involved, and the date that matters. We will reply with how we would approach it and who would do the work.

What do you need?

Pick as many as apply.

Rough budget?

Optional, but it helps us scope properly.
