Built around your operation

Working software delivered phase by phase, with full source-code ownership.

This is for you if

Any of these sound familiar.

If none of them do, this probably is not the right service. We would rather you found that out here than after a call.

  • The developer who built it is gone and nobody understands the code
  • Every change breaks something else
  • It is slow, and nobody knows why
  • There is no staging environment, so changes are tested in production
  • You are told it needs a full rewrite and the quote frightens you

What you get

Every deliverable, named.

This list goes into your proposal as the scope. Anything not on it is out of scope until we agree to a written change request. That stops a project from quietly doubling.

  • Technical audit: architecture, data model, dependencies and real risks
  • A written assessment explaining whether to fix, refactor or rewrite
  • Stabilization work on the failures that hurt most
  • Staging environment and a repeatable deployment process
  • Tests around the areas most likely to break
  • Documentation your next developer can actually onboard from
  • Handover, or ongoing maintenance if you would rather we kept it
