What we do

We take a job that currently runs on paper, spreadsheets and group chats, and turn it into software the people doing the job will use.

Apps that work offline

Apps that install on a phone or tablet from a link and keep working with no connection. We have built them for a game reserve, an equine physiotherapist and a private collector.

Good for records, reports, invoices, maps and anything filled in on the spot.

Systems for a whole business

Larger apps with accounts, roles and shared data: bookings, rotas, billing, client portals. StableSync, TeamMate and the Hurst Grange yard app are this kind of work.

Websites and shops

Sites that load fast, read well on a phone and can be used with a keyboard or screen reader. Online shops where you need one.

Moves to better hosting

Moving a website, shop, email or domain to a provider that suits you better, with old links redirected and no mail lost on the way.

AI with limits you set

AI is useful for drafting, sorting and explaining. We put it behind fixed rules written in ordinary code, so it can suggest but cannot overrule a safety limit or send anything without a person agreeing.

How a project runs

  1. We listen

    You show us how the work is done today: the forms, the spreadsheet, the messages. We ask where it goes wrong.

  2. You try a first version

    We build a small working version early, so you can use it on your own phone before anything is settled.

  3. We build and test

    We build the rest in stages you can see, with automated tests, and try it in the conditions it will be used in.

  4. We stay with it

    After launch we fix what comes up and add what real use shows is missing. You get a written guide.

Questions people ask

No. It is where much of our work has come from, because Marine is an equine vet, but we have also built for a game reserve, an endurance training app, a scientific instrument maker and a children's author.

Usually not. Most of what we build installs from a web link onto the home screen and works offline. Where a full App Store app is the better fit, we build that too.

Yes. We have rebuilt and moved existing websites, shops and email, keeping the old addresses working. We will tell you plainly if something is better rebuilt than patched.

That is decided with you at the start. Some of our apps keep everything on the device and nowhere else. Where a server is needed, we say which provider and which country before we build.

It depends on the size of the job, so we quote after a first conversation. The quote is a written scope with a price, and we tell you the running costs, such as hosting, before you commit.
