API and backend development that scales with you
Behind every good app is a backend that is fast, secure and easy to extend. We design and build the APIs, databases and integrations your web and mobile products depend on, documented clearly so other developers can build on them.

Real-time features
Live updates, chat and notifications using WebSockets or managed services.

Who it’s for
Built for teams like yours
- Teams whose front end is ready but whose backend is not
- Companies connecting separate systems that do not talk to each other
- Products that have outgrown a quick prototype backend
Technology
Tools we use
- Node.js
- Express
- PostgreSQL
- MongoDB
- Firebase
- Socket.io
- REST
- GraphQL
We choose technology to fit your project, budget and team, not the other way round.
How we work
A clear process from first call to launch
Five steps, each with a clear outcome, so you always know what happens next.
- 01
Discover
We learn your goals, users and constraints, then agree scope, timeline and a written quote before any work starts.
- 02
Design
Wireframes and screens you can click through and approve before development begins.
- 03
Build
Development in short cycles with regular demos, so you see progress and can steer early.
- 04
Launch
Testing, deployment and handover. We take care of hosting, domains and store submissions.
- 05
Support
After launch we monitor, fix and improve, on a maintenance plan if you want one.
REST or GraphQL?
REST is simpler and fits most projects. GraphQL helps when many clients need different slices of the same data. We pick based on your use case.
Can you fix or refactor our existing backend?
Yes. We audit the code and database, fix security and performance problems, and refactor in stages without taking your product offline.
How do you handle security?
Authentication, authorisation, input validation, rate limiting and secret management are part of every build, not an optional extra.
What if a third-party system has poor documentation?
We test the integration early, so any limitation is clear before it affects your timeline.
