Websites, portals and web applications

Web Platforms

A website is rarely just a website. It is a sales channel, a support surface, a hiring tool and the first thing a partner checks before replying to your email. We build web platforms that are engineered to load fast on ordinary phones, rank for the searches that matter, and stay editable without a developer on call.

What this covers

01

Design-led front-end engineering

Interfaces built from design systems with motion, typography and accessibility handled properly.

02

Server-rendered React

React Router framework mode, Next.js or Astro depending on what the product needs to do.

03

Headless and custom CMS

Structured content models so non-technical teams can publish safely.

04

Performance engineering

Core Web Vitals budgets, image pipelines, code splitting and caching strategy.

05

Accessibility

Semantic HTML, keyboard operation and contrast that meets WCAG 2.2 AA.

What we build

  • Marketing websites with a real CMS behind them, not a template with your logo pasted in
  • Customer portals and dashboards that sit on top of your existing systems
  • Booking, catalogue, quotation and lead-capture flows that feed directly into your operations
  • Progressive web apps for teams who need an installable experience without an app-store release

How we approach it

We start from the jobs your website has to do: the searches it must appear for, the actions a visitor must be able to complete, and the content your team must be able to change on a Tuesday afternoon without calling anyone. Design and engineering happen together, so the finished page is the design, not an approximation of it.

Server-side rendering, image optimisation, structured data and Core Web Vitals are built in from the first commit rather than bolted on before launch.

What you get

Source code you own, a content system your team can use, deployment on infrastructure you control, and documentation a future engineer can pick up.

Questions we hear often

Do you work with WordPress or Shopify?
Yes, when it is the right tool. For content-heavy marketing sites and stores we will recommend a platform if it serves you better than custom code. We tell you which and why before anything is built.
Can you redesign our existing site without losing search rankings?
Yes. Migrations are planned around URL mapping, redirects, structured data and a crawl comparison before and after launch so rankings are protected, not gambled with.

Mobile Applications

Cross-platform mobile apps with native feel, built once in React Native and shipped to both stores with the backend, analytics and release process included.

AI Systems & Agents

Language-model features, retrieval over your own documents and autonomous agents that handle bounded tasks inside your existing tools, with evaluation and guardrails built in.

Automation

Remove the manual steps between your tools: data entry, follow-ups, approvals, reports and reconciliations that currently depend on someone remembering.

SEO & Growth Engineering

Technical SEO, site architecture, structured data and analytics implementation so the right people find you and you can see what is working.

Backend & API Engineering

Secure, well-documented APIs and backend services that connect your products, partners and internal tools, built to be operated rather than merely launched.

Technology Consulting

Independent advice on what to build, what to buy, what to fix and in which order, from people who will also be accountable for building it.

Custom Software

Purpose-built software for the parts of your business that off-the-shelf products do not fit: internal tools, operations systems, portals and specialised workflows.
