Most organisations are stuck between off-the-shelf tools that don't quite fit and bespoke software they can't afford. We close that gap.

Sound familiar?

Schools & Colleges

Drowning in EHCP paperwork

EHCP numbers have doubled since 2016. Your SEND team is managing annual reviews, provision maps, and progress tracking across spreadsheets and paper forms — while the admin just keeps growing.

0%

of SENCos spend the majority of their week on admin rather than supporting pupils.

Charities & Nonprofits

Your mission held back by your tools

You're manually keying data between systems, losing donors to poor follow-up, and spending hours on impact reports that funders keep changing the format of. A spreadsheet shouldn't be your most important system.

0%

of small UK charities have no CRM at all.

Small Businesses & Startups

Priced out of the software you actually need

Off-the-shelf tools don't fit your workflow. Agencies quote six figures and six months. No-code gets you started but hits a ceiling the moment you need to scale or do anything custom.

of no-code MVPs fail when they try to scale.

You've tried the alternatives

Close, but not quite

Generic tools force you to change how you work to fit the software. You end up with workarounds, bolt-ons, and processes that don't match your actual workflow. And per-user pricing means costs grow faster than value.

  • Doesn't model your specific processes
  • Per-user pricing adds up quickly
  • Your data lives on someone else's platform
  • Locked into their roadmap and their priorities

Right solution, wrong price

Bespoke software fits perfectly — but a customer-facing web application starts at around GBP 30,000 and takes months to deliver. For most schools, charities, and growing businesses, that's simply not realistic.

  • GBP 30,000 to GBP 200,000+ for a typical build
  • 3 to 12 months before you see anything working
  • Annual maintenance at 15-25% of the initial cost
  • Vendor lock-in if the agency uses proprietary tools

Bespoke software. Without the enterprise price tag.

We build custom software that fits around your workflows, not the other way around. The same quality you'd expect from a traditional agency — at a price that works for schools, charities, and growing businesses.

How? We use AI to accelerate the parts of development that used to take the longest — scaffolding, boilerplate, testing. That means fewer billable hours without cutting corners on quality. Human developers still architect, review, and test everything.

Built for you

Every system is designed around how your team actually works. No forcing your processes into someone else's template.

Built fast

A traditional agency takes 3 to 12 months. We deliver working software in weeks. AI handles the repetitive work so our developers focus on what makes your system yours.

Built secure

Every build goes through automated security scanning and penetration testing before it reaches you. Then a human developer audits the code line by line. For organisations handling children's data or sensitive records, that's not optional — it's the baseline.

Owned by you

You get the source code. Open-source technology. No lock-in, no per-seat licensing that grows with you. If you ever want to move on, you can.

From problem to working software

1
Discovery

We start by listening

We spend time understanding what your team actually needs — not just a feature list, but the workflows, frustrations, and outcomes that matter. No jargon, no assumptions.

2
Design & Build

We build in the open — fast

You see a working prototype within two weeks, not two months. AI accelerates the routine development work while our developers focus on the logic and decisions that make your system yours. Regular check-ins, working software you can try, and honest conversations about trade-offs. Nothing happens behind closed doors.

3
Security & Code Audit

Tested before you ever see it

Every build goes through automated security scanning that checks for common vulnerabilities — the same issues that catch out most software projects. Then a human developer reviews the code, auditing for logic errors, data handling, and anything the automated tools can't catch. Nothing goes live until both layers are satisfied.

What we check:
  • OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities (injection, broken authentication, data exposure)
  • GDPR compliance and data protection patterns
  • Dependency vulnerabilities and supply chain risks
  • Access control and permission logic
  • Human code audit sign-off before every release
4
User Testing & Refinement

Real users, real feedback

Your team tests the software in real scenarios. We watch, we listen, we fix. This isn't a polished demo — it's your system being tested by the people who'll rely on it every day.

5
Launch & Support

Go live with confidence

We handle deployment, training, and documentation. And we don't disappear after launch — ongoing support means issues get fixed, security patches are applied, and the system grows with you.

We don't disappear after launch

Most agencies hand over the code and wish you luck. We stick around.

Ongoing support

Issues get fixed. Questions get answered. Your system keeps working as your needs change.

Ongoing security

Security doesn't stop at launch. We apply patches, monitor for new vulnerabilities, and re-run automated security scans as part of every update. If something needs attention, we fix it before it becomes a problem.

You own the code

Every line of source code is yours. Built on open-source technology (Next.js, PostgreSQL, React) that any competent developer can pick up. No proprietary frameworks, no lock-in.

Your data stays yours

Your data lives in your database, on infrastructure you control. GDPR compliance is built in from day one — not bolted on as an afterthought.

No surprises

Clear pricing, clear timelines, clear communication. If something changes, you'll hear about it from us before you notice it yourself.

Tell us your problem

No pitch decks, no pressure. Just tell us what's not working, and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help. Most conversations start with a 20-minute call.

We'll respond within one working day. No sales follow-up unless you want it.
