Custom software · Manchester
Custom software in Manchester.
Manchester's tech and SME scene moves quickly, and growing businesses often hit the limits of off-the-shelf software. We build bespoke systems around your operation, connected to the rest of your stack.
Production grade and custom built. You own the source, the infrastructure, all of it.
Built for Manchester businesses
Manchester is the North West's powerhouse — MediaCity, a booming tech and digital scene, finance, and a deep base of ambitious SMEs. It's a crowded, fast-moving market where a slick, well-wired website and solid systems are the baseline, not a luxury. We work with Manchester businesses from our base on the M62.

What we build
Discovery & spec
We map the system end to end on the whiteboard before a line of code — if we can't draw it, we don't build it.
Bespoke web apps
Custom web applications built for your operation, not a template you bend your process around.
Backend & APIs
Robust backends, data models, and APIs that hold up as you grow and connect to the rest of your stack.
Internal tools
Admin panels and internal tools that replace the spreadsheets and manual steps your team works around today.
You own it
Source code, infrastructure, documentation — all yours. No lock-in, no proprietary platform you can't leave.
You probably need this if
- No off-the-shelf product fits how you actually work.
- You're running the business on spreadsheets and workarounds.
- You need software that connects to your existing systems.
- A past dev agency handed over something you couldn't maintain.
Frequently asked
Honest answers.
If yours isn't here, book a 30-minute call. No pitch deck, and we'll tell you straight whether we're the right fit.
What counts as custom software?
Anything built specifically for your business rather than bought off the shelf — web apps, internal tools, portals, and the backend that ties them together. If a standard product fits, we'll tell you to buy it. We build when your process is the difference.How long does it take?
A Sprint ships a working MVP on your real data in about a week. A full Build runs four to eight weeks to production. We don't bill for work that doesn't ship.What stack do you build on?
Modern, well-supported tooling — typically a Postgres/Supabase backend with a React/Next.js front end, plus Azure or Power Platform where it fits. We build on what's maintainable, not what's trendy.Who owns the code?
You do — source, infrastructure, and documentation. No lock-in. If you ever take it in-house or move it elsewhere, you can.Who actually builds it?
The founder. The person you scope with is the person who ships it — no handoffs.Do you work with businesses outside Manchester?
Yes. We're a West Yorkshire-based studio and work with businesses across Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area, including Stockport, Salford, Bolton and Oldham.
