Our process

From first call to full software solution

A client-driven approach: we ask the right questions and suggest the right technology, but the decision-making power stays with you.

  1. Initial Consultation

    “What do you need? How do you want your business to transform?”

    A free, no-obligation conversation about your business — your objectives, your goals and the challenges in the way. We work out together whether software can genuinely help, and roughly what it would take.

  2. Discovery

    “Let’s get the creative juices flowing!”

    A structured discovery phase where we map your processes, the people involved and the features that matter. It culminates in UX designs and wireframes — so you see the product before we build it.

  3. Product Backlog

    “This is our time to shine.”

    Everything you want the product to do is compiled into a master development list — the backlog. It becomes the single, transparent source of truth for what is being built and in what order.

  4. Sprint Schedule

    “Let’s get to building!”

    We follow an Agile development strategy: short sprints, working software early, and phased launches that let real users feed back before full release. Weekly check-ins keep you in the loop the whole way.

  5. Launch & Maintenance

    “Your product is live — now it’s time for refinement.”

    Your product launches on Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure that we provision, host and monitor. From there we refine: flexible maintenance plans, performance monitoring and continued development as your business grows.

Our partners

Backed by the right technology

FAQs

The questions every owner asks first

Straight answers on cost, timescales and how it works. More detail on our FAQs page.

How long does it take to develop custom software?

Small applications typically take 4–12 weeks, while larger platforms can take 3–12 months. We confirm a realistic timeline after the discovery phase, and our phased launch approach means you see working software well before the full release.

How much does custom software development cost?

Small projects typically start around £10K–£30K; mid-sized applications range from £40K–£150K+; larger enterprise platforms can exceed that. Every project gets a free initial consultation, after which we provide an accurate, itemised quote — no surprises.

Do you help define the requirements, or do I need a full specification?

You don’t need a specification — most of our clients arrive with a problem, not a document. We run a structured discovery and planning phase to clarify requirements, define features, create wireframes, and produce a roadmap before development begins.

Do you offer ongoing support and maintenance?

Yes. We offer flexible maintenance plans covering bug fixes, feature enhancements and performance monitoring. Most clients stay with us long after launch — we treat it as a partnership, not a handover.
