Web applications that stay fast as they grow
Most web apps are quick at launch and slow two years later. We build on foundations that hold: server-rendered where it matters, measured against real budgets, and structured so adding the tenth feature costs about what the second one did.
Scalable web apps built with modern technologies
- Customer portals and dashboards that have outgrown a template
- Public sites where search traffic is a real acquisition channel
- Internal tools running on spreadsheets and email threads
- An existing app that has become slow or expensive to change
The work this covers
Application development
Full builds from schema to interface - authentication, permissions, background work and the parts users actually touch.
Performance work
Core Web Vitals treated as a budget rather than a report. Rendering strategy, bundle size, caching and database queries measured against real devices.
SEO-ready architecture
Server rendering, clean URL structure, structured data and metadata handled at the framework level rather than bolted on afterwards.
Integrations and APIs
Getting your CRM, billing and internal systems to agree on the same data, with retries and reconciliation that survive real-world failures.
From first call to something you own
- 01
Map the real workflow
We sit with the people who will use it and document what actually happens, including the workarounds. That map is the specification.
- 02
Prove the risky part first
The hardest integration or the trickiest business rule gets built in week one. Surprises are much cheaper early.
- 03
Ship in slices
Every two weeks something real goes in front of users. Feedback shapes the next slice instead of arriving at the end.
- 04
Hand over cleanly
Documentation, runbooks, CI/CD and a walkthrough with your team. You own the repository and the infrastructure from day one.
What we tend to build this on
Not a fixed list. If your team already runs something else and runs it well, we work in that.
- TypeScript
- React
- Next.js
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL
- Tailwind CSS
- AWS
- Vercel
- Docker
Before you ask
- Do we own the code?
- Yes. Work happens in your repository under your organisation from the first commit. There is no licensing arrangement and no vendor lock-in on our side.
- Can you work on an existing codebase?
- Often. We start with a short audit, usually three to five days, and come back with what is worth keeping, what needs replacing, and what that costs. Sometimes the honest answer is that it is fine and you have a smaller problem than you thought.
- What about hosting and running it?
- We set up infrastructure in your own cloud account with everything defined in code. You can run it yourselves, or we can stay on for monitoring and on-call as part of an ongoing arrangement.
Tell us what you are trying to build
A 30-minute call is usually enough to tell you whether we are the right fit, what it is likely to cost, and how long it will take. No deck, no sales script.
