How we help

From UX/UI design and product strategy to architecture, infrastructure and consulting, we help ambitious teams build with more clarity and less friction.

UX/UI & Communication Design

We design the parts people actually touch — the landing page, the sign-up, the dashboard someone opens every morning — and make sure they look like they came from the same place.

Brand Identity & Strategy

We work out what a brand is for and what it looks like, then build the system that keeps it consistent once more than one person is using it.

UX / UI Design

We design intuitive digital experiences that balance usability, structure and visual detail across products, platforms and websites.

Web & Digital Design

From landing pages to full digital ecosystems, we design experiences that feel cohesive, high-quality and built for real use.

Product Design

We help turn ideas into products people can actually use — shaping flows, structure, interactions and the overall experience from the inside out.

Design Systems

We build design systems so a button behaves the same in the marketing site, the product and the mobile app — and the next feature starts from parts that already exist.

Graphic & Marketing Design

We create visual assets for campaigns, launches and ongoing communication, keeping everything aligned with the brand and designed to perform.

Development & Architecture

We build what sits underneath a digital product — the architecture, the APIs, the data layer and the apps on top of them — so it can be changed later without a rewrite.

Go & TypeScript Development

We write backend services in Go and front ends in TypeScript, and we optimise for the person who has to read the code in two years — often us.

React & Next.js Applications

We build fast, flexible applications with React and Next.js, combining strong UX with production-ready engineering.

Mobile Apps with Expo

We create mobile apps with Expo and React Native that move quickly from idea to usable product without compromising quality.

System Architecture

We design technical systems that support growth, reduce complexity and give products a stronger foundation from day one.

API Design

We plan and build APIs that are clear, scalable and easier for teams and systems to work with over time.

Database & Performance

We improve data structures, queries and application performance to make products faster, more stable and easier to scale.

Security & Compliance

We help teams reduce risk, strengthen technical decision-making and build digital products with security and compliance in mind.

ISO 27001 Consulting

We support teams working toward ISO 27001 readiness with practical guidance around systems, processes and technical alignment.

Security Audits

We review digital products and infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities, weak points and practical opportunities for improvement.

GDPR Compliance

We help businesses align digital products and workflows with GDPR requirements, with a focus on privacy-aware implementation.

Secure Architecture

We design systems with security built in from the start, helping reduce technical risk before it becomes operational pain.

Incident Response

When something is on fire we help you work out what happened, stop it spreading, get back up, and write down what to change so it does not happen twice.

Infrastructure & DevOps

We build and manage the technical backbone behind digital products — from deployment workflows to cloud infrastructure and scalable environments.

Docker Swarm & Containers

We use containerised environments to make systems more portable, reliable and easier to manage across teams and stages of growth.

Pulumi & Infrastructure as Code

We define infrastructure through code to create repeatable, scalable environments with better visibility and fewer manual headaches.

CI/CD Pipeline Design

We build delivery pipelines that help teams ship faster, reduce friction and improve confidence in every release.

Cloud Infrastructure

We plan and support cloud environments with performance, reliability and long-term scalability in mind.

Server Management

We help manage and maintain servers so products stay stable, secure and ready for growth.

Kubernetes Orchestration

For teams that need more advanced orchestration, we help structure Kubernetes environments that support scale and operational control.

A practical stack

Languages, platforms, and tools we vibe with

Built here

Two products we made ourselves

Some of what we sell, we built. Entropy and Agora are our own products — we designed them, we run them in production, and we use them in client work. That is a different position to recommending someone else’s tool: when one of them behaves badly on a Friday afternoon, it is our code and our problem.

Entropy

Smart Media Optimization & Delivery Engine

Entropy is an image and video optimization engine with its own CDN. You point it at the assets you already have and change one URL. Nothing about the way your users upload has to change, and nothing gets migrated.

  • Every visitor is served the lightest format their browser accepts — AVIF, then WebP, then the original — resized to the dimensions your layout actually asks for. A phone never downloads desktop-sized pixels.
  • Optimised variants are cached at the edge, so your origin is fetched once per asset rather than once per view.
  • It accepts what phones really record, HEIC photos and HEVC video included, and turns video into a fast-starting MP4 with poster frames generated for you.
  • It optimises for how the image looks, not for a byte target — so skies don't band, skin tones don't go blotchy and brand colours don't shift.

Runs on WhiteClover, Momizen and Localgoods — and powers media delivery inside Agora.

Agora

Custom Marketplace & E-Commerce Platform

Agora is a headless, API-first commerce platform we design and build around the way a business already runs, instead of bending the business to fit a template. One commerce core, used by a storefront, a vendor app and an operations back-office.

  • Multi-vendor payment splitting with automated per-vendor payouts, commission computed server-side, and refunds that correctly reverse a single vendor's share of a multi-vendor order.
  • A vendor mobile app that is a product in its own right — onboarding, catalogue, live orders, courier vouchers and honest after-commission earnings — rather than a cut-down admin login.
  • Statutory e-invoicing wired into the order lifecycle, with the compliance layer built to be swapped per market.
  • You leave with the codebase, the documentation and the ability to run it. No cut per sale, no feature behind an enterprise tier.

Runs Momizen, Blooume Health and Localgoods.

More about Agora

Both sit underneath the services above rather than beside them. Entropy is the media layer we reach for when a client’s pages are heavy with photos and video; Agora is the commerce core we build on when an off-the-shelf platform stops fitting.

How we work

Four ways to plug in

Whether you need focused support or a broader partnership, we can plug in at the level that makes the most sense. These four are shapes of working, not a separate menu: the five named offers are these same shapes packaged with a scope, a cadence and a price already drawn. Fractional Product, Design & Digital Partner is Consulting & Advisory and a Dedicated Team on a monthly retainer; Product, Brand & MVP Foundation is Project Delivery with the scope fixed at three to five weeks.

Dedicated Team

A focused team built around your project, bringing together the right mix of design, product and engineering support.

Staff Augmentation

Extra hands and senior thinking where your team needs it most — without the friction of long hiring cycles.

Consulting & Advisory

Strategic guidance across product, design, technology and delivery for teams that need clarity before making bigger moves.

Project Delivery

End-to-end delivery for defined scopes, from discovery and design through development, launch and iteration.

Why us

Senior partners, not vendors

We work best when we're close enough to the problem to help solve it properly. In practice that means one team across design, build and deployment, rather than three suppliers passing the work between them. Four things you can check:

Eight named people

Art direction, design, engineering, project management, QA and DevOps are all covered by people you can see and look up on our about page. The same eight names carry a project from the first sketch to the deploy pipeline.

We run our own products

Entropy and Agora are not case studies, they are software we operate. Momizen, a multi-vendor marketplace we have been building since 2020, runs on both. When something breaks in production it is our bug to fix, not a vendor ticket to raise.

We stay after launch

Two of our five offers are monthly retainers rather than one-off projects, and the Momizen engagement has been running since 2020. We would rather keep improving something we know than hand over a folder and leave.

Honest about fit

Our venture-partnership page says outright that it is not for most teams and points them somewhere better. We publish that because selling everyone the largest engagement is how you end up doing work you cannot stand behind.

Frequentlyasked
questions

Answers to common questions about how we work across design, development, consulting and technical delivery.

Docker Swarm is a container orchestration platform that lets you deploy and manage applications across multiple servers reliably. It is simpler to set up and maintain than Kubernetes, making it ideal for small to mid-sized applications that need high availability without unnecessary operational complexity.
ISO 27001 demonstrates that your organisation takes information security seriously. It builds trust with clients and partners, opens doors to enterprise contracts that require certification, and creates a systematic framework for identifying and managing security risks across your operations.
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. Next.js is a framework built on top of React that adds server-side rendering, static site generation, routing, and performance optimisations out of the box. We typically recommend Next.js for production applications because of its superior SEO and performance capabilities.
We build cross-platform mobile apps using React Native and Expo, which lets us ship to both iOS and Android from a single codebase. This approach reduces development time and cost significantly while delivering near-native performance and user experience on both platforms.
Infrastructure as Code means defining your servers, networks, and services in code rather than configuring them manually. Using tools like Pulumi, we can version-control your infrastructure, reproduce environments reliably, and make changes safely through automated pipelines — eliminating configuration drift and human error.
Our DevOps services cover CI/CD pipeline design, Docker containerisation, cloud infrastructure setup, server management, monitoring and observability, and automated deployment workflows. We build systems that let your team ship code faster and with greater confidence.
Yes. We have helped businesses migrate from bare-metal servers to cloud platforms and from one cloud provider to another. We plan migrations carefully to minimise downtime, handle data migration securely, and ensure your applications run optimally in their new environment.
We offer four models: Dedicated Team (a full team embedded in your organisation), Staff Augmentation (individual engineers joining your team), Consulting and Advisory (strategic technical guidance), and Project Delivery (end-to-end project execution with fixed scope and clear deliverables). For longer-term digital partnerships, see our Fractional Product Design & Digital Partner offer. For brand and product transformation projects, explore Rebrand & Product Evolution.
Security is built into our development process from day one. We follow secure coding practices, conduct regular security audits, implement defence-in-depth architectures, and help you achieve compliance certifications like ISO 27001. We also assist with GDPR compliance and data protection by design.
A design system is a collection of reusable components, guidelines, and standards that keep your digital products visually and functionally consistent. It speeds up development, ensures brand coherence across platforms, and makes it easier for teams to build new features without reinventing the wheel.
Absolutely. We conduct thorough technical audits that assess code quality, architecture, security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, and infrastructure reliability. You will receive a detailed report with prioritised recommendations and a practical roadmap for improvement.
We embed our senior engineers directly into your existing team. They work alongside your developers using your tools, processes, and workflows. It is like hiring a specialist without the recruitment overhead, and you can scale up or down as your project needs evolve.
Yes. We help you build data protection into your systems by design, implement proper consent mechanisms, create data processing documentation, and ensure your technical architecture meets all GDPR requirements — protecting both your users and your business. Talk to us about a compliance review.
We design APIs that are intuitive, well-documented, and built to evolve. Whether REST, GraphQL, or gRPC, we focus on clear naming conventions, consistent error handling, proper versioning, and comprehensive documentation so your APIs are reliable and a pleasure for developers to integrate with.
Yes. We have worked on projects ranging from startup MVPs to enterprise-grade platforms serving thousands of users. Our team has decades of combined experience in system architecture, and we design solutions that scale reliably and cost-effectively as your business grows.
Yes. We design and build on Shopify and WordPress for clients who need a proven, scalable CMS or ecommerce platform. Our Shopify & WordPress Growth Support offer covers everything from initial build and migration to ongoing performance and conversion optimisation.
The discovery call is a free 30-minute conversation where we learn about your project, goals, and challenges. We come prepared and ask the right questions so we can recommend the most effective approach — whether that is a full project engagement, a retainer, or simply some honest advice. Book a discovery call to get started.
We price transparently based on scope, complexity, and team composition. After the discovery call we provide a detailed proposal with clear deliverables, timelines, and costs — no hidden fees. Browse our engagement offers to get a sense of the different models and price points before we speak.
Yes. We build and operate Entropy, our own image and video optimization engine with a built-in CDN. It serves automatic AVIF/WebP, resizes on the fly per device, and streams video — improving Core Web Vitals without quality loss, and it drops in front of your existing storage with a single URL change.
Yes. Agora is our bespoke, headless marketplace and e-commerce platform — multi-vendor payment splitting, a real vendor mobile app, courier-integrated logistics and tax compliance, built to fit your model. You own the codebase, the data and the roadmap, with no per-transaction platform tax.
