Applications engineered properly, not assembled from templates
Some projects need more than a website builder can give them: real application logic, data, and integrations. We engineer that software — front end and back end — and test it before it reaches your users.
What you get from working with us
This is the engineering-led end of what we build: applications with real logic behind them, rather than pages that present your business. If the project is a specific product you plan to run as a subscription business, that usually sits under our SaaS & Custom Software service instead — the two teams work the same way, so we will point you to the right scope rather than have you guess. What sits here is everything else: progressive web apps, bespoke e-commerce builds, cross-platform tools, and the API work that connects software together.
- Built with modern engineering practices
- Tested before it reaches users
- Consistent across browsers and devices
- Scales as usage grows
- Integrates with the tools you already use
- Documented, so it can be maintained by anyone
Our software development services
The specific work we take on, and what is included in each.
Frontend & backend engineering
The full stack, built with tested, maintainable code rather than glued-together shortcuts.
- Component-based front-end development
- Back-end services & business logic
- Automated testing before release
- Code documentation & handover
Progressive web apps
A web app that installs to the home screen and holds up on a patchy connection, without the cost of a native build.
- Installable, app-like experience
- Offline support & background sync
- Push notifications where supported
- One codebase for web and app-like use
Custom e-commerce applications
For stores that have outgrown what a Shopify theme can do — a checkout and catalogue built around your actual products and rules.
- Custom checkout & pricing logic
- Catalogue, inventory & fulfilment rules
- Payment gateway integration
- Performance under real traffic
Cross-platform web applications
One codebase delivering a consistent experience across browsers and devices.
- Single JavaScript codebase
- Consistent behaviour across browsers
- Responsive across desktop, tablet & mobile
- Shared logic between web and app surfaces
Cloud-based web applications
Applications engineered to run natively in a cloud environment — the code, not the infrastructure underneath it.
- Stateless, horizontally scalable design
- Cloud storage & managed services integration
- Environment-based configuration
- Built to deploy on the infrastructure our cloud architecture service sets up
API development & systems integration
Connecting your software to the other tools and data your business already depends on.
- REST & API development
- Third-party service integration
- Legacy system connections
- Webhooks & background jobs
A process built on clarity
Six straightforward stages that keep every project moving, measurable, and free of guesswork.
Discovery
We learn your business, your customers, and the outcome the project needs to deliver before anything is designed.
Strategy & planning
You get a clear roadmap: scope, structure, timeline, and cost — agreed up front so there are no surprises later.
Design
We shape the experience around how your customers actually behave, then refine it with you until it feels right.
Build
Clean, modern engineering with performance, security, and search visibility built in from the first line of code.
Test & launch
Thorough testing across devices and browsers, then a carefully managed launch with nothing left to chance.
Grow
Ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and improvements that keep your platform performing well after launch.
Frequently asked questions
The questions we get asked most often before a project starts.
Web development covers the site that presents your business — marketing pages, WordPress, Shopify. Software development covers applications with real logic behind them: accounts, data, workflows, and integrations. If your project is mostly informational, it is web development; if it needs to do something, it is software development.
