Bespoke web applications

Software shaped
around your business.

Portals, dashboards, booking systems, back-office tools and data-heavy platforms. We spec, design, build, host and support them — with complex integrations handled properly, and the design sense of an agency that's been making the web look good since 2009.

The problem with off-the-shelf

Stop bending your business to fit the software.

Every growing business ends up with the same set of workarounds: a spreadsheet nobody's allowed to touch, three systems that don't speak to each other, and a monthly subscription for a platform you use eleven percent of. It's expensive, it's fragile and it quietly slows everything down.

A bespoke web app does exactly what your business does - no more, no less. One login, your language, your process, your data. And because it's yours, it changes when you do rather than when a vendor decides.

Case study · St Mirren FC

Live Opta data, ninety minutes at a time.

St Mirren FC website shown on desktop and mobile

St Mirren wanted a match centre that felt broadcast-grade: live scores, line-ups, possession, expected goals and player ratings updating as the game unfolds, on the busiest traffic of the week.

We integrated the club's official Opta feed, normalising a lorry load of event data into something the site can render instantly. Fixtures, results, squads and statistics flow in automatically, with editorial control where the club wants the final say - and caching that keeps pages quick when ten thousand fans refresh at the same moment.

That's the pattern for any complex integration: understand the data, tame it, and put a beautiful, fast interface on top of it.

Integrations

If it has an API, we'll make it behave.

Most of the value in a business app sits in the joins — the moment two systems that were never designed to meet start working as one. That's the bit we enjoy.

Live data feeds

Sports, weather, pricing, stock, telemetry — polled or pushed, normalised and cached so your users never wait on someone else's API.

Payments & subscriptions

Stripe, Shopify and direct debit, with invoices, dunning and reconciliation wired into your own records.

Finance & ERP

Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and bespoke back-office systems kept in step without anybody rekeying anything.

Microsoft 365 & Google

Single sign-on, calendars, SharePoint documents and automated email from the tools your team already lives in.

CRM & marketing

HubSpot, Mailchimp, Klaviyo and the rest, fed with clean, consented data from the app itself.

Legacy & awkward

CSV drops, SFTP, XML, SOAP, that ancient database nobody wants to touch. We've met them all and they still behave.

Portals & tools

The boring jobs, done beautifully.

Customer portals, job scheduling, quoting, stock, memberships, inspections, approvals — the unglamorous work that runs a business. Built once, properly, and available on a laptop in the office or a phone on site.

How we work

Spec. Design. Build. Host. Support.

  1. Spec

    We start with the problem, not the software. Workshops, process mapping and a written spec everyone actually understands before a line of code exists.

  2. Design

    Twenty years of web design doesn't get left at the door. Your app looks and feels like your brand, and behaves like something people want to use.

  3. Build

    Built on Lovable with a proper database, authentication and roles. You see working screens in days and steer it as it grows.

  4. Host

    Elastic cloud hosting, backups, monitoring and certificates handled. It scales on the busy days and costs nothing extra on the quiet ones.

  5. Support

    A small Scottish team who answer the phone, fix things quickly and keep shipping improvements long after launch.

Why us

Twenty years of design sense, pointed at software.

Design-led, not dev-led

Most app builders make software that works. We make software that works and looks like it belongs to your business.

Brand all the way in

Type, colour, tone of voice and detail applied to every button, empty state and error message — the exact same care we give a website.

Speed you can feel

Lovable lets us put a real, clickable product in front of you in days. Decisions get made against something you can use, not a wireframe.

One team, whole job

Spec, UI, build, hosting, integrations and support from the same people. Nobody to point at when something needs fixing.
