IT Systems Development

Custom web applications, APIs and backend systems built on a modern, maintainable open-source stack.

We build stable, performant web applications and backend systems for businesses that require high-integrity software. Our goal is to deliver systems that are easy to operate, simple to extend, and architected for long-term reliability.

Engineering Standards

We adhere to a consistent architectural baseline to ensure security and maintainability. Our stack centres on a curated set of mature, well-supported open-source technologies, with the specific choices adapted to each project's constraints:

  • Frontend — modern, accessible web frameworks tuned for performance and clear ownership
  • Backend — secure, scalable runtimes and clean API orchestration
  • Data — proven relational and document stores for integrity and reliability
  • Infrastructure — containerised, reproducible deployments on Linux
  • Type safety — typed languages across the stack for maintainable codebases

AI Agents, AI Harnesses and LLM Integration

We develop intelligent systems that extend your software's capabilities beyond static logic. From integrating LLMs into existing workflows to developing custom AI agents that handle autonomous tasks, we ensure secure data handling and reliable model orchestration. Where a use case requires more than a single prompt, we build AI Harnesses that control context injection, tool access, approval steps, retry logic and observability.

  • RAG Pipelines: Developing Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems that allow AI to query your proprietary data securely
  • Agent Development: Building autonomous agents for document processing, workflow automation, or complex research tasks
  • AI Harnesses: Building controlled execution layers for prompts, retrieval, tools, approvals, retry logic and audit logs
  • API Orchestration: Integrating AI models with your existing backend services via clean, versioned interfaces

Documentation and Ownership

Code is only as valuable as its documentation. We provide comprehensive implementation records, API schemas, and deployment guides, ensuring you maintain full ownership and technical independence after handover.

What We Build

  • Core Business Systems — custom ERP extensions, order management, and workflow automation
  • Data Integration Layers — secure APIs and synchronisation middleware connecting legacy systems
  • Client & Partner Portals — secure, high-performance web interfaces for external stakeholder interaction
  • Operational Dashboards — real-time monitoring and reporting tools for internal decision-making

Website Development

Beyond bespoke systems, we engineer the public web presence that connects your audience to those systems — built with the same standards for performance, type safety and long-term ownership.

  • Presentation website — focused marketing site with a clear information architecture
  • Corporate website with CMS — structured content model with editorial workflows for non-technical teams
  • Custom-built website — bespoke architecture for project-specific requirements that do not fit a templated approach
  • Multi-language and multi-region website — localised content delivery with hreflang-aware routing
  • Landing page or campaign site — single-purpose surface optimised for conversion and analytics
  • Member portal or authenticated area — secured client or partner workspace integrated with your identity stack
  • Website migration or replatforming — staged migration from a legacy CMS to a modern stack, preserving content fidelity
  • Accessibility remediation — audit and remediation to WCAG 2.2 AA, with documented test evidence

Next steps

  1. Scope

    Map business process handovers, dependencies, data flows and failure points. Define what will count as done before any code is written.

  2. Evaluate

    Architecture decisions recorded, options compared directly, recommendation with risk and cost ranges.

  3. Deliver

    Written delivery documents that turn into execution: who builds what, in which order, and with which checkpoints.
