Custom applications, built to last

Purpose-built applications that are cheap to run and built to last.

Who it's for

Teams that need a bespoke tool — internal or client-facing — and don't want to pay for idle capacity or rebuild it in two years.

02Capabilities

  • Yours to keep

    Deployed to your AWS account, with the source code, the data, and the infrastructure-as-code all in your name. No proprietary platform, no per-seat lock-in — a documented handover so your team can take it in-house whenever you want.

  • Product & UX

    Flows and information hierarchy designed for the people who will use this daily, not a generic CRUD scaffold.

  • Data modelling

    Schema and access patterns agreed up front so the database never becomes the bottleneck.

  • Auth & access control

    Role-gated access with Cognito — secure by default, extensible by design.

  • Integrations

    APIs, webhooks, and third-party services wired with typed contracts that don't drift.

  • Serverless runtime

    Lambda-based backend scales to zero between uses and to the spike on demand — lower long-term running cost than always-on infrastructure.

  • Architecture & planning

    Data model, system boundaries, and event flow agreed on paper before a line of code is written.

  • Product & UX

    Flows, hierarchy, and interaction patterns designed for the people who will actually use it.

  • Build

    Production-grade implementation — typed end to end, deployed from day one.

  • SEO

    Structure, speed, and copy aligned so search engines understand exactly what you offer.

  • Performance & optimisation

    Load budgets set up front; Core Web Vitals and runtime cost tracked continuously.

  • Accessibility

    Keyboard navigation, screen-reader semantics, and reduced-motion support — baseline, not a checklist.

  • Spark

    from $3,000one-time build
    from $25/moto run · runs on your AWS — scales toward zero when idle

    The smallest real thing: one core workflow, built and deployed, so you can put it in front of people fast — and grow from there.

    • One core user flow, designed and built
    • Cognito sign-in
    • Serverless backend (Lambda + DynamoDB)
    • Deployed to your AWS account — source and data are yours

  • MVP

    from $8,000one-time build

    • Core user flows (two to three)
    • Cognito authentication
    • DynamoDB data model
    • Lambda + API Gateway backend
    • Deployed to your AWS account — source and data are yours

    • Event-driven architecture where throughput demands it
    • Multi-team access and audit trail
    • Infrastructure as code (CDK)
