What we build

If it runs in a browser, we can build it, from a simple business site to a full platform with your own logic, data and integrations.

  • Websites

    Business and marketing sites, landing pages and redesigns that explain what you do and turn visitors into enquiries.

    Example: HAAB Medical Centre

  • Search-led sites

    Structure and content planned around the searches your customers make, so the right people find you.

    Example: Jake Health Care

  • Web apps & portals

    Accounts, dashboards, bookings, approvals and client portals built around how your business actually works.

    Example: ContentBunker

  • SaaS & AI products

    Subscriptions, AI features, background jobs and real-time updates. Complete products, ready for paying customers.

    Example: PropellaDocs

  • Payments & integrations

    Card and mobile-money payments, email, CRMs, accounting tools and APIs, connected so your systems work together.

    Example: Stripe billing in PropellaDocs

  • Hosting, care & scaling

    Hosting, monitoring, updates and performance work after launch, so your product keeps up as you grow.

How a project works

Four steps, agreed up front. You always know what happens next and what you're paying for.

  1. 1

    Discovery call

    We agree the scope, and send you a fixed quote.

  2. 2

    Payment

    Work begins as soon as payment is received.

    Starter is paid in full upfront; Business and Custom start with a deposit.

  3. 3

    Design & build

    You review working previews and request changes.

  4. 4

    Launch

    We launch once you approve the work and any balance is paid.
