We offer
Flexibility
We’re not a company, we’re a group of freelancers who work well together. We can self-organise to form a ready-made team or join an existing group of developers. You can hire some of us or all of us depending on your needs.
Quality
We care deeply about the quality of the work we produce. With years of industry experience we have the skills to get things done. We’re keen advocates of agile, testing, best practices and a pragmatic approach to shipping high quality code.
Services
We specialise in full stack web development. Whether you need help scribbling on whiteboards in the planning phase, an MVP web app to validate a business idea or a dev team to come in and work on a production-ready codebase, we can help.

Endorsements
We approached Matt with a vision... a bold vision which we had very little idea how to build! Matt used his experience and technical knowledge to guide us through the process of turning a pipeline idea into a reality. He built from scratch a brilliantly presented and functional website which incorporated every little detail we asked for, including tools that we didn't know were possible. I would highly recommend Matt for any project you want developing and building. He's solution focused and dedicated to his craft.

Co-founder Wilderness Now
Jed, Mike and Pete built a single page web application allowing users to author recipes for our interactive cookbook. Working with them was a delight, not only do they work to the highest technical standards but also excel in communication, process and documentation of work. Highly recommended!
”Tim Redfern
Co-founder Drop
Matt, Jed and Pete worked in-house with us on our core product - a critical piece for our business. They were an absolute pleasure to work with - professional, knowledgeable and insightful, and they quickly became key members of a well-established team. They are top of my list for any future projects - the whole team would love to work with them again.
”Simon Booth

The resulting software is robust and scalable, and has made our business better. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
”Alasdair Blackwell
Co-founder & Head of Innovation Decoded
Pete, Jed and Mike were able to quickly organise themselves into a highly productive frontend dev team to help us plan and deliver a single page web app for a startup social network client while working closely with our in-house producer and backend devs. Despite a quick turn around and tight budget the quality of their work was excellent throughout the build.
”Tom Quick
Founder & CEO Sme.sh
Pete and Jed worked with us to develop the first version of our one page web app during the initial stage of our business. We were really pleased with the quality of their work, it allowed us to concentrate on scaling our business which is now a great success. They understand and foresee the current and future requirements. We haven’t had to change much of the web app to this date - though it was supposed to be a prototype. The current developers have a high regard for them. The experience of working with them was more than pleasant.
