Digital products that help good organisations do great things.
Web and mobile applications, designed and built by a team with twenty years of enterprise delivery behind it. The same standards we worked to for Coca-Cola, P&G, Ferrero, HP, Duracell and others, now pointed at mission-led work.
What we build
Most builds combine two of these. The mix is what makes the architecture decision real.
Web applications
Supporter and customer portals, internal admin tools, dashboards, reporting platforms and subscription products.
Mobile applications
iOS and Android from one codebase, with profiles, notifications and offline support.
Backends and APIs
Secure databases, role-based access, payments, and integrations with the systems you already run.
Infrastructure & support
Secure hosting, monitoring, backups and ongoing maintenance. We keep the systems we build reliable, protected and running.
Ways to work with us
Take one on its own, or run them in sequence. Each one ends with something you can use, show to a board, or take elsewhere.
Discovery and design
Workshops to pin down the brief, the user journeys mapped, then wireframes and a clickable prototype you can put in front of real people before anyone writes code. The files are yours whether you build with us or not.
Brand and identity
Discovery sessions on audience, values and where you sit against everyone else, then the identity itself: logo in its primary and secondary forms, favicon and app icons, a colour palette and type scale checked for accessibility, and tone of voice guidelines so everything you publish sounds like one organisation. If you need a name, we help explore and test the options. You get the full asset pack, every format, digital and print.
MVP build
A production platform rather than a prototype held together with tape. Built to take real users, and to keep changing after launch.
Platform modernisation
For a system that is slow, fragile or hard to change. We audit it, fix what is costing you most, and replace the legacy parts without a rebuild.
Retained support
Hosting, monitoring, fixes and new features after launch, so you don't have to hire a development team to keep the thing running.
Retainer tiers
- Essential
- Hosting, deployment, security monitoring, automated backups and uptime alerts.
- Support
- Everything in Essential, plus bug fixes, minor updates, support hours and priority response.
- Growth
- Everything in Support, plus new features, reserved capacity, roadmap planning and strategy reviews.
How a project runs
Phased delivery with weekly demos, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.
Discovery
Confirm the problem, the audience and what is in the first release.
Scope and plan
A delivery plan with a timeline and a cost estimate.
Build
Weekly demos, in chunks you can actually review.
Test
Real-world testing, including the edge cases.
Launch
Deployment and app store submission.
Improve
User feedback, analytics and the next round of changes.
What you end up owning
Everything we build is designed to be handed over. You own the code, the data and the infrastructure, with the documentation to run it.
We choose the tools per project, from the mainstream and well-supported end of the market, and we explain the choice before we make it. Nothing obscure that only we can maintain, and nothing that traps your data somewhere you can't get it back.
Security and data protection
- Hosting
- Auto-scaling hosting, encrypted in transit and at rest, with separate staging and production environments so nothing is tested on live data.
- Backups and recovery
- Automated backups, uptime and error monitoring, and a disaster recovery plan rather than an assumption.
- Access control
- Role-based access, so staff, supporters and administrators only ever see what they should.
- Data protection
- GDPR-ready infrastructure, and your data stays exportable in full, at any point, without asking us.
