“Where’s my order?”
no spreadsheet
required
Sound familiar?
- ✗ Someone re-types the same details into three different places.
- ✗ Customers ask for an update and you have to go hunting for it.
- ✗ Only one person knows how the spreadsheet really works.
- ✗ You have said no to growth because the admin could not cope.
None of that is a people problem. It’s a software problem, and it only gets more expensive the longer it waits. The fix is usually smaller and faster than owners expect.

Specialist developers, without the agency overhead

Questions people ask first
What if I can’t explain what I need?
That’s normal. Most clients start with a messy description or a screenshot of a spreadsheet. We turn it into a clear plan before you spend anything.
How much does a project cost?
Every project gets a fixed price in writing after a free scoping call. Projects start from £6,000, and the pricing section above shows what each type includes.
How long does it take?
An MVP usually takes 8 to 12 weeks. You get a timeline with the written scope.
Do I own the code?
Yes. You own the code once final payment is made.
Can you fix or take over software we already have?
Yes. We start with a short review so you know what condition it is in before you commit to a plan.
The longer you wait, the bigger the spreadsheet gets.
