Services / Build · CAP.001

One system that works the way your business actually works.

Internal tools, portals, and operational systems shaped around your real process, not the other way round. You own the code outright, from the first commit.

01 · When you need this

If any of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place.

  • Orders, jobs, or bookings live in a spreadsheet only one person truly understands.
  • Your team re-types the same data into three different tools every day.
  • The off-the-shelf product you pay for monthly does 60% of what you need and fights you on the rest.
  • A process that worked at 5 people is visibly breaking at 25.
  • You know exactly what you need, but nobody sells it.

02 · What we deliver

Exactly what you walk away with.

No vague 'solutions'. These are the concrete deliverables: each one is a line in the proposal and a checkbox at handover.

DEL.01

Discovery report

Your process mapped, the system scoped, risks named, before a line of code.

DEL.02

Clickable prototype

The key screens, agreed on before build starts. Changes are cheap here.

DEL.03

Staged releases

Working software every week in your project portal, not a big reveal at the end.

DEL.04

Admin panel

Your team manages users, data, and settings without calling us.

DEL.05

Documentation & handover pack

Architecture notes, runbook, credentials, and a training session.

DEL.06

90-day warranty

Defects in scope are fixed free. In writing.

03 · How it runs

Phase by phase, with nothing hidden.

Every phase states what happens and what you see in your project portal while it does.

01

Discovery

1-2 weeks

We sit in your process, map the real workflow, and write the scope with acceptance criteria.

In your portal: Discovery notes and the scope document, shared as they're written.

02

Prototype

1-2 weeks

Clickable key screens. We change them until they're right; this is where change is cheap.

In your portal: The prototype link, versioned as it evolves.

03

Build

3-10 weeks

Weekly releases to staging, weekly demo. Scope changes are priced before work, never smuggled in.

In your portal: Weekly updates, staging access, milestone progress.

04

Launch & handover

1-2 weeks

Data migration, training, go-live, and the full handover pack.

In your portal: Handover checklist, every credential and document.

04 · Standards

Non-negotiables, in writing.

You own everything

Repository, infrastructure, credentials, transferred, not licensed.

Admin panel included

A system your team can't administer isn't finished.

Tested where it counts

Business logic ships with automated tests; the warranty is credible because of them.

Documented handover

Any competent engineer could take over from our docs. That's the test.

05 · Stack

Tools chosen for your handover, not our comfort.

TypeScriptNext.jsPostgreSQLPrismaTailwind

This is our default because it's fast to build, easy to hire for, and cheap to run. If your team already lives in another ecosystem, we build in yours; the stack serves the handover, not our comfort.

06 · Questions

Asked often, answered straight.

Do we really own the code?
Yes, the repository is transferred to your ownership at handover, and you can take it to any other team at any time. No license fees, no lock-in. It's in the contract.
Can you do this cheaper?
Sometimes, by cutting scope, not corners. In discovery we'll tell you which 20% of the wishlist delivers 80% of the value, and we're happy to build just that. What we won't do is quote low and recover it in change orders.
Can you take over an existing system?
Usually, after a short paid audit. We need to see the code before we promise anything about it. If it's healthier to keep than rebuild, we'll say so.
What happens after the warranty?
Your choice: a support plan with defined response times, ad-hoc work at day rates, or nothing; the handover pack is written so any team can maintain it.
Is our project too small for you?
If it's a few days of work we'll say so and quote a few days. Small, well-scoped systems are some of our favorite projects.
