Web development

When an off the shelf site cannot do the job, we build the part that is missing.

Some businesses hit a ceiling where the website is no longer the problem. The problem is that quotes are assembled by hand, or the same customer detail is typed into three systems, or the booking diary lives in one person’s head.

That is the work we take on. It usually starts as a small tool bolted to the side of an existing site and grows only where it earns its keep.

Where this pays off

The test we apply is simple. If a person is doing something repetitive that a form and a database could do, and they are doing it more than a few times a week, it is worth costing up.

We will tell you when the answer is to buy something off the shelf instead. That happens often, and it is cheaper for you than a custom build we would rather sell.

How it runs

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We map the process as it runs today, including the spreadsheet everybody pretends is not load bearing.

  2. 02

    Scope and estimate

    Broken into deliverable stages with a price against each, so you can stop after stage two if that is enough.

  3. 03

    Build in stages

    Each stage ends with something you can use, not a progress report.

  4. 04

    Handover

    Documentation, credentials and a walkthrough recorded for the person who joins after you.

Common questions

Will I be locked in to you?

No. We build on mainstream open technologies, hand over the repository, and document how to run it. Lock-in is a business model, not a technical necessity.

Can you work with our existing developer?

Yes. We do this regularly, usually taking a defined component so responsibilities stay clear.

What happens when something breaks at 9pm?

Care plan customers get a monitored inbox and an agreed response time. Without a plan, we work business hours.
