Web & Backend Development

Modern applications and the APIs behind them — engineered for security, performance and the long haul.

A web application is only as trustworthy as the system behind it. We build the front-end your users see and the backend services and APIs that do the real work — with security, performance and maintainability treated as first-class requirements rather than finishing touches.

What we build

Web applications

Responsive, accessible interfaces for internal tools and customer-facing products. We favour component-based frameworks (React, Vue, Next.js) that keep the experience consistent and the codebase maintainable.

Backend services & APIs

REST and event-driven APIs, job processors, and integrations that let your systems talk to each other reliably. Good API design is the difference between a platform you can extend and one you're trapped in.

Data & persistence

Relational and document stores, caching layers and search — modelled around your access patterns rather than convenience.

Cloud & deployment

Infrastructure-as-code on AWS or Azure, with CI/CD pipelines that make releases routine and reversible.

Engineering practices

  • Security by default — authentication, authorisation and input validation designed in; dependency and secret scanning in the pipeline.
  • Performance budgets — we set and monitor them, because "it feels slow" is not a metric.
  • Automated testing — unit, integration and contract tests so changes don't break quietly.
  • Accessibility — WCAG-aware markup so you don't exclude users or fall foul of obligations.
  • Documentation — API specs and runbooks your team can actually operate.

Who it's for

Teams that need a new product built properly, or that have an existing application creaking under growth and technical debt. We can deliver end to end, or embed with your engineers to lift internal capability.

Engineering choices that age well

The right stack is the one your team can run after we leave. We favour mature, well-supported technologies and resist fashion for its own sake — the cost of a trendy choice is paid long after the launch party.

01

Backend

TypeScript/Node.js, Python and C#/.NET for services; Go where concurrency matters. Clear module boundaries and thorough automated tests.

02

Frontend

React and Vue with a component system your designers and future developers can extend confidently without reinventing conventions.

03

Data

PostgreSQL and SQL Server as defaults, with event streaming where real-time matters and caching where latency does.

04

Delivery

Infrastructure-as-code, automated pipelines and preview environments so releases become routine, not rituals that everybody fears.

Security and performance by default

Authentication, authorisation and input validation are designed in from the first sprint, not bolted on at the end when the audit arrives. We profile performance against realistic load and document the operational runbook so your team — or ours — can keep the system healthy. The goal is software that is a pleasure to operate, not a mystery to maintain, because the cheapest system to own is the one your people understand.
