Straight answers to the questions we get asked most.

Send us a short description of what you are trying to achieve through the contact form. We will reply within one business day to arrange a call. That first conversation is free and is about understanding the problem — if we are not the right fit, we will tell you and, where we can, point you somewhere better. If it is a fit, we follow up with a written scope, timeline and cost for a first phase.

Yes. For early-stage companies we deliberately scope a small first release that gets something real in front of users quickly, rather than spending the budget on a feature set nobody has validated yet. We are equally clear when an off-the-shelf tool would serve you better than custom software at this stage.

Yes. We work remotely with clients in other countries and time zones as a matter of routine, with a fixed overlap window each day for calls and a written record of decisions so progress does not depend on being in the same room.

The same small team throughout, with one point of contact who knows your project. Our CTO sets and reviews the architecture on every engagement. We do not hand projects to a different team after the sales conversation.

Yes — native iOS and Android, and cross-platform builds in React Native or Flutter. We also handle App Store and Play Store submission, store listings and the release process, and take on existing apps that need modernising or rescuing after a previous developer.

In most cases, yes. AI usually sits alongside your current systems rather than replacing them — reading from your database, calling your APIs and writing results back. The practical question is whether the data it needs is accessible and reasonably clean, which we assess before proposing anything, because it is the most common reason AI projects stall.

Yes, and usually without a full rebuild. We put an API layer in front of the existing system, move one capability at a time onto modern infrastructure, and retire the old parts as their replacements are proven. The legacy system keeps running throughout. When a rewrite genuinely is the cheaper route, we will show you the reasoning rather than just recommending it.

Yes. Connecting ERP, CRM, accounting, e-commerce and in-house tools is a large part of what we do. If a system has an API, a database or even a scheduled export, we can usually integrate it. Where a vendor system is genuinely closed we will tell you what that constrains before you plan around it.

A focused marketing site is typically 3–6 weeks. A first release of a custom web application is usually 8–16 weeks depending on how many workflows it covers and how many systems it has to integrate with. We scope a first release deliberately small so you get something usable in production early, then build out from there.

Yes. A large share of our work is improving software someone else started. We begin with a short technical review covering architecture, dependencies, security and performance, then give you an honest recommendation on whether to extend, refactor or replace — including when replacing is not worth it.

Yes. We separate content from code so pages, copy, images and SEO metadata can be edited without a deployment. Where a CMS makes sense we integrate one; where it does not, we use a simple structured content layer your team can edit directly.

Almost always, yes. AI usually sits alongside your existing systems rather than replacing them — reading from your database, calling your APIs, writing results back. What matters is whether the data it needs is accessible and reasonably clean. We check that first, because it is the most common reason AI projects stall.

We run a short assessment across your workflows and score each one on volume, time cost, error rate and how well-defined the task is. That produces a ranked shortlist. The first project should be something narrow enough to ship in weeks and visible enough that the result is obvious.

Your data stays yours. We use enterprise API tiers that exclude your inputs from model training, and for sensitive workloads we can run open-weight models in your own environment. Data handling, retention and access are agreed in writing before any integration is built.

We design for that from the start rather than hoping it does not happen. Outputs cite their sources, confidence thresholds route uncertain cases to a person, and anything with financial, legal or clinical consequence requires human approval. You get logs of every decision the system made.
