You've seen it before. A project starts with energy and optimism. Six months later, you're staring at a bloated codebase, dependencies you don't understand, and a system that requires three consultants just to keep running.
Modern development culture worships complexity: microservices when a monolith would do, Kubernetes for a ten-person company, React frontends for what should be server-rendered HTML. Meanwhile, your spreadsheets are breaking and nobody's building what you actually need.
We take a different path. We believe in owning rather than renting your critical business systems, and building them to last.
Built to Last
Every line of code we write answers one question: will this still work, and still make sense, in ten years?
That's not conservatism. It's discipline. We've inherited enough "cutting-edge" codebases from 2015 to know exactly where trends lead.
-
Monolith-first We don't split systems until there's a real reason. Most businesses never need microservices. This is central to our vertical integration philosophy.
-
Boring technology We use tools that have survived multiple hype cycles. They'll survive the next one too. This is how we deliver digital sovereignty: systems you actually own.
-
Readable code When we hand over a project, your next developer should understand it in a day, not a month.
The Stack
We use tools we trust. Tools we've deployed, maintained, and debugged for nearly two decades. This isn't just the stack we recommend; it's what runs our own business.
What We Build
Web Applications
Full-stack Laravel applications. Server-rendered where it makes sense, API-driven where it doesn't. Always maintainable.
Mobile Apps
Cross-platform with Expo. Shared logic with your web system. Offline-capable when needed.
Dashboards and Visualisation
Operational dashboards, real-time data, 3D visualisations. Making business data understandable through thoughtful design and data visualisation principles.
Integrations and Automation
Background jobs, webhooks, API connections. The invisible work that makes systems talk to each other and creates a single source of truth from scattered tools.
Technical Guides
The detail behind what we do. Written from experience, updated as we learn.
Data and Integration
How we structure data and connect systems.
Data Modelling
Designing schemas that scale with your business.
Database Migrations
Evolving schemas safely in production.
Integration Patterns
Webhooks, polling, queues, and sync strategies.
Multi-Tenant Laravel
Serving multiple clients from one codebase.
Architecture Patterns
Approaches to common technical challenges.
Workflow Engines
State machines for approvals and business processes.
Audit Trails
Complete change history for compliance and debugging.
Operations
Keeping systems running reliably.
Infrastructure
Servers, hosting, and deployment pipelines.
Security and Ops
Authentication, access control, and operational security.
Legacy Migration
Moving old systems to modern platforms safely.
Maps and Location
Geospatial data, mapping, and location services.
Who We Work With
Our development work is ideal for:
We specialise in the sweet spot: businesses that have outgrown their initial processes but need systems that will last the next decade, not the next quarter.
Getting Started
If you're tired of disposable software and development partners who disappear after launch, let's talk. We can start with a technical blueprint (mapping requirements and designing architecture) or dive straight into development.
Not sure whether to build or buy? We can help you work through that decision before any code gets written.
