Build & Ship

Bespoke digital products for SMEs, on fixed-price scopes

We build the web and mobile apps, platforms, and tools your business actually needs — without the agency overhead or the six-month timeline.

The work

What we build

Client portals and internal tools that replace spreadsheets and manual processes.
Customer-facing web and mobile apps (iOS and Android) that your customers actually use.
Workflow automation and data pipelines that remove the manual work capping your capacity.
AI-powered features built into a product you already have, not a bolt-on demo.
MVPs and early-stage products that need to ship fast without cutting the corners that matter.

If the problem is real and the scope is honest, we can build it.

How we work

No surprises. No disappearing acts.

Built to your business

Apps and tools shaped around how you actually work. We don't start from zero on every build. We've already built our own mobile (iOS and Android), web and CMS engines, and they're all ready for AI work. A new project starts from proven infrastructure, not a blank repo, which is why we move faster and cost less than an agency building bespoke foundations from scratch every time.

Fixed-price scopes

You know exactly what you're getting before we start.

AI where it adds genuine value

Not as a gimmick — where it meaningfully improves your product.

Shipped in weeks

Not the months a traditional agency would quote.

Ongoing support

We don't disappear after launch. Ongoing feature work and maintenance is core to how we work, not an afterthought bolted on after launch.

How we price

We'd rather give you real numbers than a guess dressed up as one. A blind estimate before the real unknowns are worked through isn't a quote, it's a guess with a currency symbol on it. Fixed price agreed before any code is written, senior delivery throughout (no juniors handed the project after the sales call), and you own everything at handover, code included.

See full pricing

Not sure yet what you need building? Start with the Discovery Workshop.

For an idea that isn't shaped enough to scope yet. A focused session that turns it into something real enough to build: an honest technical read, a proper look at the architecture, and a verdict you can actually act on, even when that verdict is "not yet" or "don't build this."

£2,500 flat. If you commission the build within 60 days, £1,250 of that is credited straight off the build price. You're not paying twice for the thinking.

The real brief usually isn't "build an app." It's the underlying problem the app is meant to solve. That's a different, harder problem than most agencies quoting the work will treat it as.

Good work. Honest terms.
