How we work with you
You work directly with the developer building your website or web application. We agree the scope, show you progress and plan the launch and support together. Choose the approach that fits the size of your project.
- 1Discover1–2 weeks
We map the problem, the people and the systems involved, then agree scope and a written estimate. Short workshops and research give us clear goals and a plan everyone understands.
- 2Design1–3 weeks
Clickable prototypes you can test with real users before we write production code. Changes are quick and cheap at this stage, so you see exactly what you are getting.
- 3BuildReleases every two weeks
Working software every two weeks on a test website you can use and comment on. We write clean, tested code that can grow with your business.

Our process
The four steps every project follows, from discovery to launch and support, and what happens at each one.
See the process ›Small projects
Automate one painful process, launch a simple portal or test an idea, with a focused first version in weeks.
Small projects ›Growing businesses
Systems that scale as you grow, replacing spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools that can no longer keep up.
Growing businesses ›Enterprise & public sector
Larger programmes in clear phases, following the GDS and Digital Scotland service standards.
Enterprise & public sector ›Questions about how we work
Do we own the code?
Yes. You own the code, the repository and the hosting accounts from day one, and everything is documented so any competent team could pick it up.
Do you work fixed price?
Discovery is always a fixed fee. For the build, you get a written estimate for each stage and pay in stages as working software is delivered.
Who will we deal with?
Khaled, the senior developer who builds your system. You deal with the same person from the first call to launch and support, with no account managers in between.
How often will we see progress?
Every two weeks. Each release goes on a test website you can use and comment on, so you see real software, not just status reports.
