Home / How we do it

The stack behind
the promises.

No secret sauce — just the right tools, chosen deliberately. This is what we build with, and why each piece earns its place.

How we choose

Boring where it counts. Modern where it pays.

We hold no allegiance to any framework — the project picks the tool, not the other way round. Databases and infrastructure stay deliberately boring, because boring means proven, documented and hireable-for. The modern edge goes where it earns its keep: interfaces, automation and AI. And whatever the stack, the outcome is the same — production-grade code that you own outright, documented well enough that any competent developer could pick it up.

Front end

What your customers see and touch — engineered to feel instant.

React

The UI library behind the world's most interactive interfaces. Our go-to for rich, app-like front ends that stay fast as they grow.

A

Angular

Google's batteries-included framework. Our choice for large, structured business applications built to last for years.

Vue

The pragmatic middle ground — light, approachable, quick to ship. Ideal for adding rich interactivity without the ceremony.

TS

TypeScript

JavaScript with a safety net. Types catch bugs at build time instead of in front of your customers — our front-end default.

JS

JavaScript

The language of the web. Every interactive moment in the browser runs on it — written clean, modern and framework-free when that's all a page needs.

5

HTML5

The structure of every page. Semantic, accessible markup — the foundation that search engines and screen readers actually read.

3

CSS

Design, delivered. Hand-written layout and motion — no bloated UI kits — so every brand looks like itself, and loads like it.

Back end

The engines behind the screens — APIs, logic and content.

Node.js

JavaScript on the server. Fast, event-driven back ends — and one language across the whole stack.

ex

Express

The minimalist web framework for Node. APIs and services with no unnecessary weight.

php

PHP

The engine of most of the web — including WordPress. Modern PHP is fast, typed and dependable.

W

WordPress

The world's most-used CMS, done properly: bespoke, hand-built themes — never off-the-shelf templates.

Data

Where your business actually lives — structured, safe, backed up.

MySQL

The dependable relational database. Structured data, transactions, and decades of battle-testing.

SQL Server

Microsoft's relational database — the natural fit for enterprise workloads and Azure estates.

{ }

NoSQL

Document stores — MongoDB and friends — for flexible, fast-changing data shapes and serious scale.

AI & automation

The newest layer of the stack — built in where it earns its place, and only when you want it.

LLM APIs

Frontier AI models wired into your product and workflows with guardrails — assistants, summarisation, extraction, drafting.

Integrations & automation

APIs, webhooks and queues stitched into pipelines that move data between your systems while you sleep.

Cloud & delivery

How it ships, where it runs, and why releases are boring — on purpose.

Azure

Microsoft's cloud. Hosting, databases, functions and AI services with enterprise-grade security and UK data residency.

Docker

Every project in its own container — identical in development, testing and production. "Works on my machine" becomes "works everywhere".

CI/CD

Every change automatically tested and deployed. Releases become boring — which is exactly how releases should be.

Git

Every line of code versioned, reviewed and recoverable. The full history of your product, kept forever — and it belongs to you.

Azure DevOps

Boards, repos and pipelines in one place — the plan, the code and the releases all connected, visible and traceable.

CDN

Your site served from the location nearest each visitor — faster loads everywhere, and a shield that soaks up traffic spikes and attacks.

Testing & quality

If it isn't tested, it isn't done — every build ships with its proof.

Jest

Fast unit tests for JavaScript and TypeScript — thousands of checks run on every change, so regressions are caught in seconds, not in production.

PW

Playwright

Real-browser end-to-end testing. Clicks through your site like a customer would — Chrome, Firefox and Safari — before every release.

Jasmine & Karma

The classic Angular testing pair — specs and browser runners that keep long-lived business applications honest.

PHPUnit

Unit testing for the PHP side — WordPress builds and APIs proven against a test suite, not hope.

Operations & support

How projects stay transparent — and how you reach us after launch.

Sentry

Every production error caught, logged and alerted the moment it happens — we usually know about a problem before anyone has to report it.

N

Notion

Where project documentation lives — specs, decisions, guides and handover notes — shared with you throughout, not locked in our heads.

Freshdesk

Support with an owner, a status and a deadline. Every request tracked to resolution — nothing lost in an inbox.

Asana

Projects broken into visible, owned tasks — you can see what's in flight, what's next and what shipped, any day of the week.

Put it to work

The stack is the how. Your project is the why.
