What it costs

Talking to us costs nothing. After that, scope sets the price, and every project quote is fixed before we start.

$0 Always · everyone

The first call is free

  • 30 minutes with the people who'd actually build it, not a salesperson.
  • An honest answer on whether software is the right fix, or whether something off the shelf will do.
  • A rough timeline and budget range before you commit to anything.
  • Written notes afterwards, yours to keep whoever you hire.

Before you ask

Straight answers on price, process, ownership and who you'll work with.

Still wondering? Ask us on the first call. It's free, 30 minutes, no obligation. Start a brief
  1. The first call is free. After that, pricing is custom and scoped to your project: what you need built, how complex it is, and how much support you want afterwards. Every project quote is fixed before we start.

  2. Yes. 30 minutes, no obligation, and you get written notes afterwards. If software isn't the right answer, we'll say so.

  3. A few times a year we build a free prototype for charities, community projects or first-time founders. Mention it in your brief and tell us who it helps. You own the result.

  4. Campaign pages take days, websites 2–6 weeks, tools and portals 4–12 weeks, and apps 8–20 weeks. You get a working link to review every week.

  5. A short brief: what's slowing you down, who uses it, and any deadline. We handle the technical questions on the first call.

  6. We stay on. A care retainer covers hosting, monitoring, fixes and changes, handled by the people who built it.

  7. Yes. Code, domain, hosting and data sit in your name from day one.

  8. Any time. The code is documented and in your repository, so another team can pick it up without us.

  9. Henrik, a senior engineer shipping production software since 2019, and Andrew, who leads product and has built and run products with paying customers. Andrew is in his final year of a BSc in Business Computing. No hand-offs.

  10. Yes, through Eye of Horus, our in-house platform. It speeds up the routine work. A senior engineer reviews and owns every change.
