We build our own products, and the same team is available to build yours.
A small number of client engagements at a time — the kind of work we would ship under our own name.
Web platforms
Marketing sites and product platforms in Next.js and TypeScript — including the Nextrated Ads build, delivered remotely with a co-builder.
Operational software
Systems that run a business day to day — school management platforms and internal tooling with real users and real data.
Trading & data systems
Systems where correctness under load matters — trading logic and the data pipelines behind it.
Backend infrastructure
Backend-as-a-service foundations: auth, data, and the APIs a product is built on top of.
How we work, from a first conversation to a codebase you own.
Four stages, each with a real timeline. Nothing here is a surprise reveal at the end.
Scope
We work out what the build actually is, what it is not, and what success looks like. You get a written scope and a fixed read on cost and time before any code is written.
Architecture
We choose the stack, model the data, and set the structure the rest of the build sits on. Decisions that are expensive to reverse are made here, on purpose.
Build
We ship in increments you can see and use, not one reveal at the end. You have a running version throughout and a standing channel to steer it.
Handover
We deploy, hand over the code and the accounts it runs on, and document what a future engineer needs to keep it running. You own everything we built.
A deliberately small stack we know deeply, chosen so the work stays maintainable after we hand it over.
Fixed-scope build
A defined project with a written scope, a fixed price, and a delivery window. Best when you know what you need built.
Embedded engineering
We work as part of your team for a set number of weeks, on your priorities. Best when the shape of the work is still moving.
A build moves at the speed of the decisions behind it.
- One person with authority to make decisions and answer questions within a working day.
- Access to the accounts, data and services the build depends on, at the start — not midway.
- Honest constraints up front: the real budget, the real deadline, the parts that cannot change.
Saying no to the wrong work is how the right work ships.
- Rescues of a failing build we cannot first read and understand.
- Ongoing staff augmentation billed by the hour with no defined outcome.
- Work we could not ship to our own standard in the time available.
