Web & Software Consultation
Research, architecture and a costed direction — before anybody writes a line of code.
Know the market before you build for it
Every engagement opens with a free consultation to understand requirements and objectives, and to put a cost estimation against them. Nothing is quoted blind.
From there we study the sector and analyse the competitors already in it. That is what surfaces the opening a client can take — and it is why the technical direction we hand over is something a board can commit budget to rather than a wish list.
Capabilities
What this includes
Four areas of delivery, scoped individually or run together as one programme of work.
-
01
Technical discovery
A complimentary first session to establish what the system has to do, what it has to integrate with, and what it must not break.
All sectors
-
02
Domain and systems audit
How your sector operates and what you already run, including the spreadsheets holding parts of the operation together.
Manufacturing · Insurance
-
03
Solution architecture
Stack, hosting and integration settled and written down, each choice recorded with what it costs and what it rules out.
All sectors
-
04
Interface and interaction design
Screens shaped around the task in front of the user, drawn by designers and engineers working together so what is drawn can be built.

The works
Our methodology
The same seven stages apply whether the deliverable is a corporate site or a warehouse system.
-
01
Technical Discovery
We start with a free consultation to establish what the system has to do, what it has to talk to, and what it must not break. You leave with a defined scope and a cost, not a brochure.
-
02
Domain & Systems Analysis
We study how your sector operates and audit the tools already in place, including the spreadsheets nobody admits to. What surfaces here decides what is worth building and what is worth replacing.
-
03
Solution Architecture
We set out how the system will be structured: the data it holds, the services it depends on, and the points where it has to scale. Every significant choice is written down with what it costs and what it rules out.
-
04
Interface & Interaction Design
Designers and engineers work the same screens together, so what gets drawn can actually be built. The interface is shaped around the task in front of the user rather than the structure of your departments.
-
05
Engineering Build
Senior engineers build the system in working increments, each one reviewed before it lands. The people who scoped the work write the code, so nothing is lost in a handover to a cheaper bench.
-
06
Verification & Testing
We test against the awkward cases your team actually meets, not only the route that works. Automated checks cover the paths that matter, so later changes cannot quietly break them.
-
07
Deployment & Support
Release is staged rather than switched overnight, and the old process stays available until the new one is trusted. After that we hold retained support: monitoring, security patching and incremental releases.
