HELP
Our Process
We scope delivery that is a business fit for today and tomorrow.
Consultation
It all starts with a conversation and you telling us your pain or what you’re trying to solve. We’ll know very quickly if we’re able to help and what that would look like in practice.
Very often, we’ll have examples of previous work which demonstrates our understanding of the solution and provide you with the confidence only experience can provide.
Wireframes
Wireframes allow us to storyboard your solution and provide an efficient visual example of what we’ll deliver.
These allow us to make changes quickly before any coding is done.
Quote
Once the wireframes have been agreed, we can provide a quote based upon the specifics provided for you to review.
We can always make changes at this point and adjust the quote as necessary, so we provide exactly what you require.
Deposit
The size of the project will determine the payment terms, but we normally ask for a deposit up front, and further payments to be made at agreed milestones.
This allows you to budget accordingly whilst allowing us to cover our costs as we progress through the project.
Milestone reviews
At certain points during the project, important elements will fall into place and working pieces of the solution starts to emerge.
We call these milestones and provide an ideal point to provide an update and a review and feedback process of the work so far.
Training
Although we simplify things as much as possible, depending on the size of your solution, you may require training or the delivery of training to your team or staff.
This can be arranged and delivered depending on your needs.
Delivery
A very exciting time, when you see the solution come to life at the point of handover, when you take the rains and move from development to live.
We’ll manage this responsibly and make sure it goes as smoothly as possible.

Help
Support
We share our knowledge and respect for excellence to put businesses back in control.
Maintenance
You’ll be provided with an SLA backed support and maintenance package to provide ongoing security, performance and availability to you and your users.
Not only do we create the software, we also maintain the software, providing everything needed in an ongoing basis, allowing you to focus on what you do best, whilst allowing us to focus on what we do best.
Training
Delivery of the software should also include training on how to use the software.
Some systems can be complex and although we’ll work with you on how it’s meant to work, you may want us to train your staff and workforce on how to use the day-to-day functions.
Development
It’s not always possible to delivery everything at once because the size of some systems means they’ll never be finished but you’ve got to start somewhere.
Which is why we suggest multi phased approach to deliver a minimum viable product in phase 1 and spec the subsequent phases to be delivered in a timely and organised fashion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much will it cost?
The requirements will determine the cost although due to our development techniques and low overheads, we are more affordable than you’d expect.
See ‘What is a phased approach’ to see how to decrease the cost.
How long will it take?
This depends on how much work we need to do but since we use rapid development techniques and don’t reinvent the wheel each time, we are considered quick.
See ‘What is a phased approach’ to see how to increase delivery.
What is a phased approach?
We employ phased approaches to increase delivery and decrease the cost, providing a MVP (minimum viable product) in phase 1 to get you off the ground.
We then move less essential features into alternative phases 2, 3, 4 and so on so you can start using the software quickly and spread the cost across each phase.
What are R&D Tax Credits?
HMRC provide corporation tax relief to companies that work on innovative projects in science and technology and meet their requirements.
This is hugely beneficial in helping recover some costs towards your software.
