Bespoke

We can build anything for anyone. Whether you need a large scale, enterprise CRM solution or a simple API integration, we can help.

Expertise

With countless years of experience in software architecture and development, we'll help your business benefit from industry-leading software solutions.

Scalable

Utilising the power of serverless architecture and micro services, we design systems that can be effortlessly scaled to adapt to your needs.

Secure

Security is paramount to us, which is why we go above and beyond to ensure your company's data is always secure, safe and backed up.

Detailed architectural design

Before starting any software build, we carry out an in-depth analysis of the project and have interviews with your team to create clear architectural diagrams detailing various technical components. The emphasis is on accuracy from the outset, instead of revisiting the drawing board.

Tailored to you

Sometimes adding in off-the-shelf solutions can be like fitting a round peg in a square hole. By hiring an experienced software agency, you're able to achieve bespoke applications that integrate into your business process in exactly the way you need them to.

FAQs

Is bespoke or off-the-shelf right for my organisation?

Choosing between bespoke and off-the-shelf software depends on factors like budget, timeline, and specific needs. Bespoke offers tailored solutions but requires time and investment, while off-the-shelf provides quicker implementation at a lower cost but may require additional customization. To truly gain a competitive edge, bespoke software can maximize your ROI.

How much does it typically cost?

Software development cost depends on a lot of moving parts and can differ greatly from one project to another. Remember that each software project is different, especially if you have an original idea. We tailor our pricing to accommodate your budget while delivering the best possible outcome for your project.

How long does it take to build an application?

This entirely depends on your needs and the size of the project. A timeline is documented as part of a proposal.

How can we make changes?

One of the key benefits of custom software is its ability to be scaled and evolve alongside your business. Service level agreements (SLAs) can be implemented to ensure we continually monitor your new application and add any new features you see fit.

How can my software app scale?

We predominantly use serverless architecture in our build systems. Serverless architecture enables scalability by automatically managing the allocation of resources in response to demand. This means that as your application experiences increased traffic or workload, additional resources are provisioned dynamically to handle the load, ensuring seamless performance no matter how many users.

What technologies do you specialise in?

We specialise in GoLang for back-end services, AWS-backed cloud operations, and SvelteKit as our front-end framework. While we feel this is the most performant stack, we are adaptable to incorporate other technologies based on your project’s specific needs.

Do you test applications?

Yes, we rigorously test applications using various methods. Unit, contract, integration, and end-to-end testing are among the methodologies we employ to ensure your peace of mind when it comes to software quality and reliability.

Fantastic design and software company, could not recommend highly enough. Very professional service and produced a final product that far exceeded expectations, thank you! Richard Penny, Administrator @ EDR Dental

Explanation

What is software development?

Software development is the design, documentation, programming, testing and on-going maintenance of software applications. The software itself is a set of instructions that a computer or CPU (central processing unit) execute. Software development can encompass planning, coding, debugging and deployment, which are all aimed at producing high-quality software that meets the needs of users or businesses.

The importance of software development

In this day and age, you can’t walk far without seeing a device which runs on software. As technology continues to advance and our reliance on it becomes greater, the demand for innovative software solutions will only grow, highlighting the vital role of software development in today’s modern world. A huge number of businesses rely on custom software applications to power their day-to-day operations or streamline specific processes.

Why go bespoke?

A custom software application tailored to your specific business requirements has the potential to streamline operations, boost productivity and increase your return on investment (ROI). Off-the-shelf software might serve basic needs, but to truly gain a competitive edge, more businesses are turning to custom software application development. To find out more about the benefits of bespoke software and how it can help maximise your ROI, check out our blog post: Maximising ROI with custom software applications.

Software development workflow

Below are the typical steps in the software development lifecycle.

Discover - Envisaging and prioritising the project.
Plan - Strategising the project’s scope, timeline and resources.
Build & test - Developing the software and rigorously testing it for quality assurance.
Deploy - Rolling out of software to production environments.
Operate - Monitoring and maintaining the software’s performance and functionality.
Observe - Gathering feedback and insights from users and system performance.

Continuous integration & delivery (CI/CD)

Continuous integration & delivery (CI/CD) is a software development practice that involves automating and frequently integrating code changes into a shared repository (CI) and deploying these changes into production (CD). Together, CI/CD increases software development velocity, so that changes can be made quickly and easily, whilst maintaining high quality and reliability.

DevOps

DevOps combines development (dev) and operations (ops) to enhance the speed, efficiency and security of software applications. It aims to shorten the development lifecycle by assisting programmers in manual processes, fostering collaboration between teams and implementing automation and delivery practices.
