What we do in custom software

The work we are asked for most, and what goes into each one.

Web applications and customer portals

Accounts, payments, dashboards and the admin tools behind them, in React and TypeScript, rendered on the server.

Internal tools that replace spreadsheets

When a process runs on spreadsheets and email, we build a tool to replace them, with the permissions and audit trail a spreadsheet lacks.

  • Integrations and APIs

    We connect your software to the systems you already pay for, such as accounting, CRM, payments and calendars, and build APIs for your partners.

  • Low running costs on Cloudflare

    We usually host on Cloudflare Workers, with D1 for data and R2 for files. A small application typically runs on the $5-a-month Workers Paid plan plus usage, with no servers to patch.

  • Taking over existing software

    If your software is hard to change or its original developers have moved on, we start with a written review, then fix what slows you down most.

Tell us what you are building and we will say which of these we would do first.

What we have built

Start with a planning day

A day with you and up to 4 of your team, in person in Glasgow or on a video call. Within 2 working days you get a written plan: architecture, data model, integrations, risks, and a phased estimate in ranges. If the build starts within 60 days, the £750 comes off the first invoice.

We build in fixed-scope phases and show you the work every week. The code is in your repository from day one.

Why a Glasgow team
  • We work UK hours and answer questions the same day.
  • UK contract, invoiced in pounds.
  • We can meet you in person in Glasgow.
  • You talk to the person who writes the code.

Questions people ask

How much does custom software cost?

It depends on scope, so there is no fixed price. The planning day is £750 plus VAT and ends with a phased estimate in ranges, so you know the likely cost before you commit to a build.

How long does it take to build?

A focused internal tool might take four to eight weeks. A customer-facing product with accounts and billing usually takes three months or more. The planning day gives you a phased estimate in ranges.

Who owns the code?

You do. It's in your repository from day one, and you can take it to another team at any time.

What happens after launch?

We can stay on monthly for fixes, updates and new features, or hand over to your team with documentation.

Can you work with our existing systems?

Usually. We connect to anything with an API, and for anything without one we agree a workaround on the planning day.

How do we get started?

Book a 30-minute call. If it's a good fit, the next step is a planning day for £750 plus VAT, which comes off the first invoice if the build starts within 60 days.
