Frequently asked questions

Web and mobile applications, SaaS platforms, marketplaces, and internal business tools — across industries including finance, HR tech, fitness, mental health, and travel. If it needs authentication, payments, notifications, or data management, we've almost certainly built something like it before.

A well-scoped MVP typically costs £10–25k. A focused product with standard design can come in around £8k; more complex builds with custom design, multiple third-party integrations, or specialist front-end work will sit at the higher end. We provide itemised estimates upfront so there are no surprises.

Yes. All custom code, data, and related assets are your IP. We license our underlying platform to you, and your infrastructure is provisioned based on your app's needs. You're free to bring in other developers or take the codebase in-house at any point — several of our clients have done exactly that.

One of our client products started as an MVP and has been running in production for over eight years, now processing 25 million API calls per month. The infrastructure scales automatically with demand — you won't need to re-architect when you grow. See our case studies for more examples.

Completely. You're not locked into templates or limited by a drag-and-drop builder. Every aspect of your product — design, business logic, integrations — is fully custom. Our toolkit accelerates delivery by handling the repetitive groundwork, so your budget goes further on the things that make your product different.

We've delivered MVPs in as little as 2 weeks. Typically it's 4-6 weeks for a well-scoped product with reasonable complexity. The fastest projects are ones where requirements are clear upfront and feedback comes quickly — we'll help you get both of those right during discovery.

Yes — bring whatever you have, whether that's Figma files, sketches, a collection of sites you like the look of or a vibe coded prototype. If you don't have designs yet, we offer an in-house design service or can work with you using templates and references. Either way, we'll align on colour palette and page layouts before we start building.

Your data and your ideas stay yours. We sign NDAs where needed, GDPR is built into our contracts as standard, and we follow industry security frameworks to ensure access to your systems is tightly controlled. We're happy to walk through our security practices in detail during discovery.
