Ben created my website for me over several sessions of working together. Working him with brilliant as we didn’t just build the website – he also helped me to define my brand values and voice to inform the website content – something I’ve needed to do for a while. The site looks great and I’m excited to continue our work together. Highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a website refresh and fantastic marketing insights.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this for?

Small businesses with repetitive admin or scattered tools that want a simple web app or automation to save time, connect several tools together and get a quick, practical solution.

Who is this not for?

Complex or high-risk software, large product builds, or projects that need a big development team. If your idea is that big, I’ll say so early and suggest a better route.

What’s included in the build fee?

The build fee includes the consultation & development of the project. Once the project is complete, the hosting & maintenance phase will start.

How much will it cost to host & maintain?

A retainer fee will include hours spent adding additional features to your project, for the server hosting (if required), and for the extra support.

Why work with us?

We understand software architecture, and use the latest coding tools to get the job done. We will ensure that you receive the maximum return on investment.

Which tools do you use?

Website frameworks: Django, React, Laravel. Coding tools: Codex. Scripting languages: Python, JavaScript, PHP. Version control: GitHub. CI/CD: GitHub Actions. Server: DigitalOcean Ubuntu VM.

How do payments work?

We ask for an upfront fee of £400 to show your commitment to the project. Hours and tasks will be noted down, and an invoice will be sent to you at the end of the month detailing fees.

Who owns the web app?

You own the web app.

Is the hosting shared or dedicated?

To reduce hosting costs for you, we can host it on a shared server, then upgrade this when the app is ready to go live or it’s receiving lots of traffic and needs more resources.
