App development in Glasgow.

Every hour your team spends wrestling a spreadsheet is an hour not spent on customers. Off-the-shelf software makes you work its way. We build web apps, client portals and dashboards that work yours. Our founder has built systems trusted by household-name retailers, so we know the difference between software that looks good in a demo and software that survives a busy Monday.

What we build

How we build software

  • We start with how your team works today, not with a feature list
  • Built in small, working pieces you can see and explore as we go
  • Secure by default: proper logins, permissions and data handling
  • Runs in a web browser, so there is nothing to install
  • Built to sit alongside your website and CRM, not fight them

This is for you if you…

  • Run part of the business on spreadsheets that only one person understands
  • Answer the same customer questions every day
  • Pay for several tools that do not talk to each other
  • Have an idea for a product and need someone to build it properly

How it works

  1. Chat

    A short call or a few emails to understand what you need and what it is worth to you.

  2. Price

    One fixed price in writing, with a timeline. It does not change halfway through.

  3. Build

    We build it by hand, show you progress as we go and test it properly.

  4. Launch

    We put it live and check it on every kind of phone and computer.

  5. Look after

    We stay around for updates, fixes and the next idea.

Bespoke software for Glasgow businesses

Plenty of Glasgow businesses run on spreadsheets, shared inboxes and software that almost fits. We build web apps for firms across Glasgow, Paisley and the west of Scotland that have outgrown those workarounds: client portals for professional services, job and stock tracking for trades and wholesalers, quoting tools, booking engines and internal dashboards.

Everything runs in the browser, so your team can use it in the office, on site or at home, on any device, with nothing to install. Before we write any code we talk to the people who will actually use the software, which is usually where the best ideas come from.

Software is a long-term relationship. The same small team that builds your app hosts it, supports it and keeps improving it, so there is no hand-off to a stranger when the project ends.

Questions people ask

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly. We reply within 48 hours.

Do you build phone apps?

We build web apps that work beautifully on phones, tablets and computers, from one codebase. For most businesses that is faster and better value than separate app-store apps. If you really do need one, we will tell you honestly.

What if I only have a rough idea?

That is normal. We will help you work out what it needs to do, what can wait, and what it will cost, before you commit to anything.

Who owns the software?

You do. We will agree the details in writing before work starts.

Can you look after it afterwards?

Yes. The same people who built it can host it, support it and keep improving it.

How much does bespoke software cost?

It depends on what it needs to do. Bespoke web apps and portals start from £2,500, and smaller integrations can cost less. Either way you get one fixed price in writing before any work starts, usually after a short call to understand the job.
