Services
Everything you need to build a great product.
We handle design, frontend, and backend under one roof. No handoffs, no context-switching, no wasted time — just a team that ships.
01
Product Design
Interfaces that are clear, beautiful, and conversion-focused.
Good design is the difference between a product people adopt and one they abandon. Our design process starts with understanding your users and business goals, then translates that understanding into interfaces that are intuitive, accessible, and on-brand.
In practice that means we start with questions rather than pixels: who uses this, what are they trying to finish, and what currently stops them. Research doesn't have to be elaborate — often a handful of real user conversations and a look at how competitors handle the same job is enough to change a layout decision that would otherwise have cost weeks. From there we move through user flows and wireframes before any visual design, because it's far cheaper to rearrange a flow in a wireframe than in a built product. Accessibility is part of the design stage, not a retrofit: colour contrast, focus order, and touch target sizes are decided while the interface is being drawn.
- Typical timeline
- 2–6 weeks, depending on how many unique screens the product needs.
- Who this is for
- Teams with a product idea or an existing interface that isn't converting, who need the thinking as well as the visuals.
What you get
- UX research & user flows
- Wireframes & prototypes
- Visual UI design
- Design system creation
- Responsive & mobile design
- Figma handoff & assets

Frontend Development
Fast, accessible, maintainable interfaces built to last.
We build frontends that are performant, accessible, and a pleasure to maintain. Our stack centres on React and Next.js with TypeScript — chosen for their reliability in production at scale. Every component is tested, well-documented, and ready for your team to own.
Performance isn't a final polish step for us — it's an architectural decision made early. Choosing whether a page is pre-rendered at build time or server-rendered per request shapes everything downstream, which is why we decide it during scoping rather than discovering it late. Every frontend we ship scores 100/100 on Google PageSpeed Insights, which is one of the few quality claims in this industry you can independently verify rather than take on trust. We write TypeScript throughout, keep components small enough to reason about, and document the decisions a future developer would otherwise have to reverse-engineer.
- Typical timeline
- 3–8 weeks for most marketing sites and product frontends.
- Who this is for
- Anyone with a design ready to build, or an existing frontend that's slow, hard to maintain, or failing accessibility requirements.
What you get
- React / Next.js applications
- TypeScript-first codebase
- Responsive, mobile-first UI
- Component library setup
- Performance optimisation
- Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA)

Backend Development
Scalable infrastructure that handles growth without surprises.
A solid backend is invisible to users but critical for reliability, security, and scale. We build REST and GraphQL APIs, design efficient database schemas, and deploy to cloud infrastructure that auto-scales with your traffic.
Most backend problems that surface in year two were decided in week two. A database schema that models your domain accurately is the single highest-leverage thing to get right early, because changing it later means migrating live data rather than editing a file. We're deliberately conservative here: managed databases over self-hosted, proven authentication libraries over custom implementations, boring technology where boring is the correct answer. Monitoring and error tracking are wired in before launch, so the first you hear of a problem is a dashboard rather than a customer email.
- Typical timeline
- 4–10 weeks, driven mostly by how many integrations are involved.
- Who this is for
- Products that need accounts, payments, data, or third-party integrations — or an existing backend that's buckling under growth.
What you get
- REST & GraphQL APIs
- Database design & migrations
- Authentication & authorisation
- Cloud deployment (AWS / GCP / Vercel)
- Third-party integrations
- Monitoring & error tracking

Full Product Build
Your idea, shipped — completely handled by one team.
Most studios hand you off between designers, frontend developers, and backend engineers. We keep it all in one team. You get a single point of contact, decisions made in context, and a product that works end to end because the people who designed it also built it.
The practical benefit of one team isn't philosophical, it's that nothing gets lost in translation. When the person who designed a flow is in the room as it's built, the hundred small decisions that a specification can never fully capture get made correctly rather than guessed at. It also means estimates hold up: we're not pricing around an unknown subcontractor's availability. For startups, this usually takes the shape of an MVP — the smallest version that lets real users complete the core job, shipped in weeks rather than quarters, so you start learning from actual behaviour instead of speculation.
- Typical timeline
- 8 weeks for a focused MVP; 3–6 months for a full platform.
- Who this is for
- Founders and teams who want one accountable partner from concept to launch rather than coordinating several.
What you get
- Product strategy & scoping
- End-to-end design
- Full-stack development
- QA & testing
- Deployment & launch support
- Post-launch iteration

How we work
Five stages, no surprises.
The same process runs on every project, whether it's a landing page or a platform. The scale changes; the sequence doesn't.
01
Scoping
Before any quote, we work out what the product actually needs to do and who it's for. The output is an itemised scope with a clear line between version one and everything after it — not a vague range. Scoping conversations are free, and some of them end with us telling you the project is smaller than you thought.
02
Design
User flows and wireframes first, visual design second. You see work weekly and give feedback in Figma, where comments sit directly against the thing being discussed rather than scattered through an email thread.
03
Build
Development runs in weekly cycles against a staging URL you can open at any time. We'd rather you spot a misunderstanding in week three than at handover, so the work is visible throughout rather than revealed at the end.
04
Launch
Deployment, analytics, monitoring, and a rollback path in place before go-live. Handover includes repository access, architecture documentation, and a walkthrough call — all treated as part of the project, not an extra.
05
After launch
Every project includes a bug-fix period, typically 30 days. Beyond that, support is available as a retainer or on a time-and-materials basis. We don't disappear once the invoice clears.
Engagement models
Three ways to work together.
Most clients start with a fixed-scope project and move to a retainer once the product is live. You're not locked into either.
Project-based
Fixed scope, fixed price.
The right fit when what you need is well defined — a marketing site, a redesign, an MVP with a clear feature list. You know the total cost before work starts. Changes mid-project are handled as explicit, priced additions rather than quiet scope creep, so the budget stays predictable.
Best for: Defined projects with a clear finish line
Retainer
A set number of days each month.
Suited to products in continuous development, where the roadmap is real but the detail shifts month to month. You get reserved capacity and a team already familiar with the codebase, which removes the ramp-up cost that makes small changes disproportionately expensive with a new agency each time.
Best for: Ongoing development and evolving roadmaps
Time and materials
Billed for the work actually done.
Best where the scope genuinely can't be pinned down upfront — exploratory work, integrations with systems nobody has fully documented, or support that arrives in unpredictable bursts. We report hours transparently and flag early when something is heading over an expected range.
Best for: Exploratory work and unpredictable support
Not sure which fits? That's a normal thing to be unsure about, and it's part of what the scoping conversation settles. See projects we've shipped for a sense of what each looks like in practice, or read our guide to choosing a web development agency.
FAQ
Common questions.
Do you outsource any of the work?+
No. Design, frontend development, and backend development are all handled by our in-house team. We don't subcontract to freelancers or offshore agencies. This means tighter quality control, clearer communication, and a single team that's accountable for the full output.
Can I hire you for just design, or just development?+
Yes. We take on single-discipline projects when we have capacity and the scope is clearly defined. If you have a Figma design and need it built in Next.js, or you need a backend API built for an existing frontend, those are both reasonable briefs. Get in touch and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a good fit.
What does a typical project timeline look like?+
A landing page typically takes 2–4 weeks. A multi-page marketing site, 4–8 weeks. A full web application or SaaS platform, 3–6 months depending on scope. We give accurate timelines in the scoping phase — not optimistic ones. If something is going to take longer than expected, we tell you early.
Do you work with startups?+
Yes, and we enjoy it. Early-stage projects are often the most interesting because the brief is still being shaped. We can help define what to build as well as build it. Budget is usually tighter at early stage, so the conversation often centres on what makes a strong MVP rather than what the full vision looks like.
Who owns the code when the project is finished?+
You do. All code, design files, and assets are transferred to you in full on final payment, with no licensing restrictions. You can take the codebase to another agency or in-house team at any point. We'll also provide documentation and a handover walkthrough.
What does post-launch support look like?+
Every project includes a bug fix period after launch (typically 30 days). Beyond that, we offer ongoing support as a retainer or on a time-and-materials basis — covering bug fixes, performance audits, new features, and continuous development. We don't disappear after handover.
What information do you need to give a quote?+
The more context the better, but we can work with a rough brief. The most useful things: what the product needs to do (not what it should look like), any integrations required, who will manage content after launch, examples of sites you like, and your rough timeline. We ask the right questions in the first call.
Do you sign NDAs?+
Yes. If your project involves confidential information, we're happy to sign a mutual NDA before the first call. Just mention it when you get in touch.
How much does a project cost?+
It depends almost entirely on scope rather than page count — a brochure site and a SaaS platform are separated by a factor of ten or more. We don't publish fixed prices because fixed prices force fixed scopes, and fixed scopes tend to solve the wrong problem. What we do instead is scope properly first and then quote an itemised figure. We've written an honest breakdown of what drives website costs up and down if you want the detail before talking to anyone.
What technologies do you work with, and why those?+
React and Next.js with TypeScript on the frontend, Tailwind CSS for styling, Node.js and PostgreSQL on the backend, with Redis and Docker where they earn their place. We standardised deliberately rather than chasing novelty: a focused stack means we've already solved the awkward problems once, and your project benefits from that instead of paying for our learning. Where a project genuinely suits something else, we'll say so.
Can you work with our existing team or codebase?+
Yes. We regularly join existing projects — building a frontend against an API your team maintains, taking over a codebase from a previous agency, or adding capacity to an in-house team for a specific phase. The first step is usually a short technical review so we can give you an honest assessment of the current state before committing to a timeline.
How do we communicate during a project?+
A weekly demo against a live staging URL, plus an agreed channel for day-to-day questions. We aim to respond within 24 hours on business days. You talk to the people building your product — not an account manager relaying messages.
What if we need changes after the project is scoped?+
Scope changes are normal and we plan for them. What we avoid is absorbing them silently until the timeline quietly slips. A change gets assessed, priced, and either added or moved to a later phase — a short explicit conversation rather than a surprise at the end.
