Everything it takes to ship — and keep shipping
Seven disciplines, one accountable team. Each service below ends in a concrete deliverable you own, whether you engage us for one of them or all seven.
Discovery & planning
Turn an idea into a scoped, de-risked plan with an estimate you can take to your board.
Most budget overruns are decided in the first two weeks — by what nobody asked. Discovery is where we ask it. We run structured workshops with your stakeholders, review any existing systems and integrations, and map user journeys against business goals.
The output is a plan written for both audiences: engineers get an architecture they can build on, and decision-makers get scope, cost and timeline they can trust. If the right answer is “build less” or “don’t build this yet”, you will hear it here.
What you get
- A shared, written understanding of what will be built — and what will not
- Technical risks identified and tested before they become expensive
- A fixed-scope estimate and milestone plan you can budget against
Deliverables
- Scope & requirements document
- Architecture outline and technology recommendation
- Risk register with mitigations
- Milestone plan and estimate
UX/UI design
Interfaces that are clear on day one and still consistent at screen one hundred.
Good design in business software is mostly about removing friction: fewer steps, clearer states, and errors people can recover from. We start from the flows uncovered in discovery, prototype the riskiest screens first, and test them before a line of production code is written.
Everything is built on a component library with tokens that map directly to code, so what you approve in Figma is what ships — and accessibility (WCAG AA) is designed in, not retrofitted.
What you get
- Flows validated with a clickable prototype before development starts
- A design system that keeps the product consistent as it grows
- Specs precise enough that developers never have to guess
Deliverables
- User flows and wireframes
- High-fidelity UI in Figma
- Component library and design tokens
- Interactive prototype
Software development
Web, backend and mobile engineering with senior review on every change.
We build web platforms, backend services and mobile apps in short, demoable increments. Every pull request is reviewed by a senior engineer, covered by automated tests and deployed to a staging environment you can click through.
Under the hood we favour well-understood technology and explicit architecture: clear module boundaries, typed APIs, documented decisions. The goal is a codebase that stays fast to change in year three — not just one that demos well in month one.
What you get
- Working, tested software delivered every two weeks
- A codebase your future hires can understand and extend
- Clean integrations with the systems you already run
Deliverables
- Web applications (React, Next.js, Astro)
- Backend services and APIs (Java/Spring, Node.js, Go)
- Mobile apps (React Native, native iOS/Android)
- Technical documentation and ADRs
Quality assurance
Automated and exploratory testing that catches regressions before your users do.
Quality is built in from the first sprint, not tested in at the end. We automate the checks that matter — unit, integration, end-to-end and contract tests — and run them on every change in CI.
Automation is paired with exploratory testing by people who think like your users, plus load and performance testing for anything that must hold up under real traffic.
What you get
- Fewer production incidents and faster, safer releases
- Confidence to refactor without fear of breaking things
- Clear visibility into quality trends over time
Deliverables
- Test strategy and test plan
- Unit, integration and end-to-end test suites
- Performance and load tests
- Release checklists and QA reports
DevOps & deployment
Reproducible infrastructure and pipelines that make releasing a non-event.
We set up cloud environments on AWS, Azure or your own infrastructure using infrastructure as code, so every environment is reproducible and every change is reviewable.
Pipelines build, test, scan and deploy automatically. Observability — metrics, logs, traces and alerts tied to real service levels — is part of the definition of done, so problems are found by dashboards, not by customers.
What you get
- Zero-downtime releases, many times a week if you want them
- Infrastructure you can rebuild from code in minutes
- Fast rollback and clear visibility when something goes wrong
Deliverables
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform)
- CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
- Containerisation and Kubernetes setup
- Monitoring, logging and alerting
Hosting & maintenance
We run what we build — patched, backed up, monitored and covered by an SLA.
Launch is the start of a product’s life, not the end of the project. We offer managed hosting and maintenance with response times agreed in writing, covering infrastructure, security updates, backups and incident response.
We also take over existing products built by other teams: a short technical audit, a stabilisation plan, and then steady, documented care. If you would rather run it in-house, we hand over cleanly with runbooks and training.
What you get
- Predictable uptime under an agreed service level
- Security patches and dependency updates applied on schedule
- One accountable team when something needs fixing
Deliverables
- Managed hosting and uptime monitoring
- Backups and tested disaster recovery
- Security patching and dependency updates
- Monthly health report
Digital marketing & SEO
Technical SEO, performance and analytics that turn a launched product into a found one.
Search visibility starts in the codebase: correct markup, structured data, fast pages and a clean information architecture. We handle the technical foundation that most marketing agencies cannot touch, then layer on keyword research, content strategy and conversion tracking.
Measurement is privacy-friendly by default, and every recommendation is tied to a metric — rankings, conversion rate or Core Web Vitals — so you can see what is working.
What you get
- Pages that load fast and rank for the terms your buyers search
- Analytics you trust, without invasive tracking
- A growth backlog driven by data, not guesswork
Deliverables
- Technical SEO audit and fixes
- Core Web Vitals optimisation
- Privacy-friendly analytics setup
- Content and keyword strategy
