Overview
A marketing site renders content and is edited by people who are not developers. An application holds state, enforces permissions and has to behave correctly when something fails halfway through. They are different disciplines with different costs, and treating one as the other is where most projects go wrong.
We are also willing to argue against the build. If a package would cover most of the requirement, or a fast mobile site would serve users better than an app, that is worth hearing before a year of budget is committed.
Who this is for
- Companies whose site needs a developer to change a headline
- Businesses replacing a spreadsheet or shared inbox process
- Teams replatforming and wanting to avoid repeating the last mistake
Everything we cover in Development
Each one links through to scope, typical deliverables and how the work runs.
Web Development
Marketing sites built to be fast, editable by your team without a developer, and still maintainable in three years.
Web Application Development
Software that runs in a browser: portals, dashboards, internal tools and customer-facing applications, built with the state and permissions problems solved properly.
E-commerce Development
Building and extending online stores: platform choice made honestly, checkout treated as the priority, and integrations to the systems that actually fulfil the orders.
CMS Development
Content management built around how your team actually publishes: the right system chosen, modelled properly, and set up so editors are not fighting it.
Mobile App Development
iOS and Android applications, with an honest conversation first about whether you need an app at all or a better mobile website.
Custom Software Development
Building software specific to your business, with the discipline of buying instead wherever something off the shelf would genuinely do.
Platform Maintenance
Keeping what you have running: dependency updates, security patches, small improvements and a named person who already understands the system.
Hosting & Infrastructure
Where your site or application actually runs: hosting chosen for the workload, configured properly, with backups, certificates and scaling that have been tested.
Common questions about Development
The things people ask before they get in touch. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
How long does a website build take?
Eight to sixteen weeks for most marketing sites. Content is usually the critical path rather than development, and projects slip on copy far more often than on code.
Will we lose search rankings if we replatform?
Not if redirects are mapped before launch and URL structure is preserved where sensible. Traffic loss after a replatform is nearly always a redirect problem and is entirely preventable.
Can we run it ourselves afterwards?
That is a design goal rather than a bonus. Documentation, tests and a component system are part of the work, so another team could pick it up.
Multi-market delivery
Teams that have shipped across regions, languages and regulatory regimes.
Built for review
Security, accessibility and privacy handled during the build, not bolted on at audit.
Measured, not assumed
Every engagement agrees its success metric before work starts.
