Custom websites & software
as unique as your business

Our clients tell us that there are two main things that make us stand out:

1. The level of honest advice, guidance & support that we provide throughout the project life-cycle to ensure that everyone gets the most from the experience and the end product.
Rather than blindly follow instructions, we always focus on the goals. If there are other ways to achieve them, then we'll open up the discussion.

2. Our technical understanding & capability that makes possible even the most complex of requirements that may leave other providers scratching their heads.
In fact, a significant portion of our very happy clients came to us after negative experiences with other providers; so we must be doing something right.
Even other software providers come to us for help, so that says something.

Most likely - yes we can, very well indeed.

We have an extremely varied skillset that enables us to cover all areas of development and management in-house, the volume of permanent full-time personnel to eliminate key-person dependency, procedures in place to effectively manage risk, a quality management system aligned with ISO9001 and security processes aligned with ISO27001.

Also, in addition to being trusted as a provider on the UK Government's Crown Commercial Service Digital Marketplace, we’re fully insured, maintain secure offsite backups and leverage the highly scale-able AWS hosting infrastructure trusted by the likes of Amazon, Netflix & Expedia.

Our clients consider us to offer the perfect balance of resources, capability and personal service.

We’d love to provide a better answer here but in reality, where custom development is concerned, the answer has always got be: it depends on a number of factors.
These may include functional requirements, scope flexibility, deadlines, budget, necessary resources, quality, risk, testing & deployment considerations to name a few.

What we can say is that we’re totally transparent when it comes to pricing and are happy to tell our clients how we’ve arrived at any given value. Consideration is given to all areas - meaning no hidden extras.

Our aim is always to provide value for money and to help establish the most cost-effective options.

By far the most useful exercise is for us to obtain a detailed understanding of the clients situation, how they do things now and what they want to achieve.
Certainly, the more information that can be provide to help with this the better and, in some cases, an extremely well-considered specification can certainly be the answer.

However, we ask our clients to be mindful that a prioritised wish list can sometimes be more useful to us than a specification.
We pride ourselves on helping develop considered, cost-effective solutions to business challenges so, generally speaking, to achieve the best end product, we ask our clients to give us the ‘what’ and the 'why' and we help work out the ‘how’.

We very much believe in the idea of doing one thing and doing it really well. In our case that’s the planning, design & development of custom web-based projects. Luckily, our clients tell us that we’re extremely good at.

So as not to lose focus on what we do best, we leave the IT, marketing, print-design and other services to the experts in their respective fields .

One caveat, however, is SEO for website projects. While we don’t get involved in activities such as keyword analysis, content-writing or link-building campaigns, we do ensure that the underlying website structure is well considered and optimised for both humans and search engines alike.
