Services Development
Development
We plan, build and test web apps, mobile apps, integrations, online shops and content-managed websites, and hand them over documented and running.
We turn an approved idea into software that works for real customers, built on a stack your team can maintain.

Four ways to work with us
We recommend a model from your scope, team and timeline, and write down why.
Scoped project
A defined build with agreed deliverables, taken from specification to release.
- Written scope and milestones
- Regular demos of working software
- Documentation delivered at release
Dedicated team
Engineers who work as part of your team on a longer build.
- Work in your repositories and tickets
- Agreed team size and duration
- Handover notes so knowledge stays with you
Technical review
An independent look at an existing codebase, architecture or build plan.
- Findings ranked by importance
- Clear recommended next steps
- Report your own team can act on
Ongoing development
Continuing improvements and fixes for a product that is already live.
- Agreed monthly scope
- Prioritised work queue
- Scale up or down as needs change
How an engagement runs
Every engagement follows the same five steps, adjusted to the size of the work.
Understand
We learn the business problem, users and constraints, and agree what the first release must do.
Plan
We set out the architecture, stack and milestones, with the options and trade-offs written out for sign-off.
Build
We build in short cycles with working software shown regularly and tests written as we go.
Release
We deploy through an automated pipeline, with a checked way back if a release has to be reversed.
Improve
We review how it performs in use and agree what to fix or add next.
What you get
