We build the parts of a website that do the work: booking systems, WordPress plugins, online shops, staff apps and payment connections. Based in Portsmouth, working with businesses across the UK, with one fixed price in writing before we start.

Web development is building the parts of a website that do something, rather than just show something. For a small business in Portsmouth that usually means one of these:
Design is how the site looks, reads and leads a visitor to call or book. Development is the code that makes the booking, the payment or the login work. You can hire them separately, but every handover between a designer and a developer is a chance for something to be lost. We do both, so the person who designed the booking button also knows what happens after it is pressed.
WordPress, PHP and WooCommerce for websites, plugins and shops, because they are widely supported and you are never locked in to us. JavaScript and Node.js with proper databases for web apps that staff log into. Stripe for payments. Every build is tested before launch, including sending real test enquiries and real test orders through it.
Every development job gets one fixed price in writing after a 30-minute call, before any work starts. You see progress every week, and you own the code when it is finished. If what you need already exists as one of our plugins and systems, it costs less, because most of the work is done.
We are based in Portsmouth and happy to sit down with you at your place to see how your business runs before we build anything. We also build for businesses across Hampshire and the rest of the UK by video call. If you mostly need a good-looking site that brings in enquiries, see web design in Portsmouth instead.
Booking systems, apps and shops you can open right now.
Italian restaurant, Southsea
Table requests used to arrive through a form plugin and get lost in an email inbox. Now guests book on the restaurant's own website and the team sees every booking on one screen.
Pub management system
A system that runs a pub's rota, stock, ordering, allergens, tips and margins. It started as a staff dashboard for one pub, then other pubs needed the same thing.
HR for UK vet practices
A specialist HR service for UK veterinary practices, with its own website, an interactive staff system demo and new articles every day.
Funny clothing brand
A clothing brand whose designs are drawn in code or made from public domain museum prints, then printed on demand.
Also built: a staff app for a two-clinic vet practice, a staff dashboard for The Wellington pub, a social media scheduler and a monthly website health report.
You tell us how your business runs today and what should change.
One price for the whole job, before any work starts.
You see it working every week and change direction early, not at the end.
Real test bookings, orders and emails go through it before your customers do.
It depends on what is being built, so every job gets one fixed price in writing after a 30-minute call, before any work starts. If one of our existing plugins or systems fits, it costs less.
Yes. When the job is finished and paid for, the code is yours.
Usually, yes. We look at it first and tell you honestly whether fixing it or rebuilding it is the better value.
Yes. We are based in Portsmouth, meet local clients in person and work with businesses across the UK by video call.
We build web apps that work on any phone from the browser and can be added to the home screen, which suits most small businesses better than an app store app. See app development for more.
