Services
Eight ways we build.
Each service can stand alone or combine with others. Below: what it is for, what it typically covers, how we approach it and what you can expect to receive.
01
Custom software development
Build applications tailored to specific business processes where generic tools fall short.
Typical scope
- Requirements analysis
- Architecture design
- Back-end and front-end development
- Data modelling
Potential deliverables
- Working application
- Source code repository
- Technical documentation
- Deployment setup
Approach
Iterative delivery in small increments with regular demos, so priorities can be adjusted as understanding grows.
02
Web application development
Create responsive, accessible browser-based applications for customers or internal teams.
Typical scope
- UI and UX implementation
- Client portals and dashboards
- Progressive web apps
- Performance optimisation
Potential deliverables
- Production web application
- Reusable component library
- Test suite
- Usage notes
Approach
Component-based front-ends with accessibility and responsiveness considered from the start.
03
Cloud architecture and infrastructure
Design and provision infrastructure that is understandable, observable and recoverable.
Typical scope
- Cloud environment design
- Containerisation
- Infrastructure as code
- Monitoring and backups
Potential deliverables
- Architecture diagrams
- Infrastructure code
- CI/CD pipelines
- Runbooks
Approach
Start from workload needs and constraints, then choose the simplest architecture that meets them.
04
API development and systems integration
Connect applications and services so data flows reliably between them.
Typical scope
- REST and GraphQL APIs
- Third-party integrations
- Data synchronisation
- Webhooks and event flows
Potential deliverables
- API services
- API documentation
- Integration tests
- Error and retry handling
Approach
Clear contracts, versioning and error handling designed before implementation begins.
05
Workflow automation
Reduce repetitive manual work and the errors that come with it.
Typical scope
- Process mapping
- Scheduled jobs
- Document and data processing
- Notification flows
Potential deliverables
- Automated workflows
- Process documentation
- Monitoring and alerts
Approach
Map the current process with the people who run it, then automate the most repetitive, well-defined steps first.
06
Quality assurance and testing
Increase confidence that software behaves as intended before and after release.
Typical scope
- Test strategy
- Automated unit, integration and end-to-end tests
- Manual exploratory testing
- Regression testing
Potential deliverables
- Test plans
- Automated test suites
- Defect reports
- CI integration
Approach
Focus testing effort on the areas of highest risk and integrate checks into the delivery pipeline.
07
Application maintenance and technical support
Keep existing software secure, up to date and working as needs evolve.
Typical scope
- Bug fixing
- Dependency and security updates
- Performance tuning
- Small enhancements
Potential deliverables
- Maintenance log
- Updated releases
- Periodic health notes
Approach
Agreed support processes with prioritisation of issues and transparent reporting of work done.
08
Technical consulting
Provide an independent technical perspective on architecture, technology choices and delivery.
Typical scope
- Architecture and code reviews
- Technology selection
- Project planning
- Team practices
Potential deliverables
- Assessment report
- Recommendations
- Roadmap options
Approach
Investigate the current situation, discuss options and trade-offs, and document clear recommendations.
