How a web application fits together
Your existing systems stay where they are. We build the backend that connects to them, the application on top, and the hosting it runs on.
- You have
Your systems
CRM, ERP, databases and the other tools your business runs on.
- Step 1
Backend and APIs
Node.js services that read from and write to those systems.
- Step 2
Web application
The screens your customers and staff use, in React or Next.js.
- Step 3
Hosting and monitoring
Deployed to your AWS account, with monitoring from day one.
Web application services
We design the data model and integrations first, because they are the hardest parts to change later. The screens come after.
What we build
- SaaS platformsProducts serving many customers, with sign-in, roles, billing and a public API.
- Portals and dashboardsOne view of orders, accounts, tickets and documents from several systems.
- Online storesStorefronts and checkout in Next.js, or extensions to your current platform.
- Content sitesMarketing sites on a headless CMS, or WordPress if your editors prefer it.
How we build it
- First versionsA small first release that ships in weeks and is built to grow, not thrown away.
- Progressive web appsWeb apps that work offline and install to the home screen.
- Taking over codeA review of your code, hosting and releases, then a plan to stabilise it.
- PerformanceLoad tests before launch, caching, and monitoring from day one.

Questions we get on the first call
Have a question that is not here? Send it with the form below and an engineer will reply within one business day.
What stack do you use for web applications?
Node.js and PostgreSQL on the backend, React or Next.js on the front end, and TypeScript throughout, hosted on AWS. Python where the product has data or AI features, and Laravel or .NET where your existing systems use them.
Can you build a SaaS product from scratch?
Yes, including sign-in and single sign-on, roles, billing, a public API, an admin console and the integrations your customers expect. We design the data model and how customers are kept separate first, because those are the hardest to change later.
How do you handle growth in traffic?
Services that scale out behind a load balancer, managed databases, caching and a CDN, and monitoring from day one. Before launch we load test against the traffic you expect after a year, not the first week.
Do you take over existing codebases?
Yes. We start with a review of the code, hosting and release process, then a plan that makes it stable before adding to it.
Four ways to work with us
A defined project
A defined integration or product, priced and scheduled up front, delivered with the test suite and infrastructure code you keep.
Engineers on your team
Engineers who join your team, your code and your daily meetings for as long as the roadmap needs them.
Ongoing support
We keep the integrations you run working: monitoring, vendor updates, new connections and month-end support.
Taking over existing systems
A system or integration nobody wants to touch: we review it, make it stable, then build on it.
