What we do, and how long it takes.

Every project is quoted as one fixed number, agreed before any work starts. If the scope changes we agree a new number first, so you never open an invoice you did not expect.

Web design

two to four weeks

A site that looks like somebody made a decision, and loads like it too.

  • Designed for your business, not a template
  • Fast on a phone, which is where your traffic is
  • Written as well as drawn
  • Yours to edit afterwards
Talk it through

Software

three weeks and up

Web apps, iOS and Android. The thing your business does, as software.

  • iOS, Android and web
  • Revisions included through launch
  • Submitted to both stores where it applies
  • Source, accounts and keys transferred to you

Project management

for the length of the job

The chasing, the scheduling and the awkward questions, off your desk.

  • One person accountable for the date, every time
  • Suppliers and freelancers handled
  • You hear from us before you have to ask
  • Problems raised early, not at handover
Talk it through

Fix what is broken

days to a fortnight

A site that is down, half-built, or pointing at a page that no longer exists.

  • Dead links and dead-end buttons
  • Pages rebuilt where they went missing
  • Old addresses forwarded, not abandoned
  • Locked-out accounts recovered with you

Booking and payments

one to two weeks

A real Book Now button, so people can reserve and pay without emailing you.

  • Wired into the booking system you already use
  • Card payment, in your own account
  • Add-ons and extras that read properly
  • Confirmation and reminder emails

Get found locally

one to two weeks

Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor and Facebook, all pointing at the right page.

  • Listings claimed and corrected
  • Name, address and phone identical everywhere
  • Photos and hours brought up to date
  • Printed QR cards where customers stand
Talk it through

Photo and video

a day on site, a week after

Your own pictures, rather than the stock ones everyone else is using.

  • Shot on location, on your kit and your premises
  • Cut for the site and for social
  • Yours to use anywhere
  • Sized properly so pages stay fast
Talk it through

Custom tool

about a week

One small tool that does one job. The form you fill in by hand, as software.

  • Built around your actual paperwork
  • Emails you the finished output
  • Hosted at your own address
  • No logins or dashboards to learn
See custom tools

Scoping week

one week

Before you commit to anything, we work out exactly what this is.

  • Scope written down, screen by screen
  • A fixed quote for the build
  • The document is yours either way
  • Credited in full against the work
Start with a scope

Upkeep

monthly, cancel any time

Software does not sit still. Phones and browsers update whether you asked or not.

  • Hosting, updates and renewals
  • Store policy and certificate changes
  • Small changes and fixes
  • Cancel whenever you like
Add after launch

What moves the number

Most jobs are straightforward to price. A few are not, and it is usually one of these. The scoping week exists so we find that out before you have spent anything on the build.

Real-time anything
Live chat, multiplayer, location tracking between users. The software is not hard; keeping it correct under load is.
Payments beyond a checkout
Subscriptions, marketplaces, payouts to other people. Each one drags compliance behind it.
Integrations with something old
If it has to talk to software written before 2010, the unknown is their side, not ours.
A design you already have
Usually brings the number down, occasionally not. A polished Figma file speeds things up; a mood board does not.
How many people have to agree
A project with one decision maker moves. One with a committee costs more because it takes longer, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.

Find out what it costs before you commit

Start with a scoping week. You get the scope, the plan and a fixed number, and it is credited in full against the work if you go ahead. If you walk away, the document is still yours.
