Web Development
Secure, fast, flexible websites that deliver for you, your customers, and search engines.
Since 2017 we've been helping clients create distinctive websites using headless architecture for greater flexibility and scalability. Our brand expertise ensures a unique user experience, delivered on modern frontend frameworks whilst maintaining a robustly secure and reliable backend.
We work across a wide range of frameworks and languages:
- Frontend Technologies & Hosting
Our typical frontend service uses the following core technologies:
- ReactJS (https://reactjs.org/)
- NextJS (https://nextjs.org/)
- Apollo (https://www.apollographql.com/)
- Styled Components (https://styled-components.com/)
We use Vercel (https://vercel.com/) for frontend hosting, benefiting from incredible preview functionality, unbeatable developer control and 99.9% uptime guarantees.
Vercel is trusted by McDonalds, Uber, AirBnb, TripAdvisor and many more.
- Backend Technologies & Hosting
Our typical backend service uses the following core technologies:
- Python (https://www.python.org/)
- Django (https://www.djangoproject.com/)
- Wagtail (https://wagtail.io/)
- GraphQL (https://graphql.org/)
- Postgres (https://www.postgresql.org/)
- Redis (https://redis.io/)
- Docker (https://www.docker.com/)
We use Amazon Web Services - AWS (https://aws.amazon.com/) for backend hosting. Renowned for its stability, security and fair pricing structure, AWS currently hosts 40% of all websites and applications on the internet.
AWS is trusted by Netflix, Facebook, LinkedIn, the BBC and many more.

- App Technologies & Distribution (Where applicable)
Our typical mobile apps are built on the following core technologies:
- React Native (https://reactnative.dev/)
- Apollo (https://www.apollographql.com/)
- Styled Components (https://styled-components.com/)
We use React Native to build our apps. This is a javascript framework built by Meta and is widely seen as the most popular and adaptable approach for mobile development.
It lets us write the code for an app in one language (Javascript) and compile it into native apps for both iOS and Android. This reduces cost and effort because you don’t have to maintain separate apps for each device, but also doesn’t sacrifice on quality or performance.
When an app is ready for a real device, we distribute to the App Store and Google Play store with test environments set up through Apple TestFlight and Google’s Beta Channel.
React Native is trusted by Meta, Tesla, Microsoft, Sony, Pinterest and many more.
Content Management
For content management, we use Wagtail (https://wagtail.org/), an enterprise-capable service with no license fees. It’s currently the world’s most popular Python-based CMS, trusted by brands such as Google, NASA and the NHS to name a few.
It’s our go-to choice for a number of reasons, including:
- Ease of use. Wagtail's user-friendly interface makes it easy for content editors to create and manage content without requiring technical knowledge.
- Flexibility. Wagtail finds the perfect balance between extendability for developers, freedom for content creators and creative protection for designers.
- Scalability. Wagtail is built on Django, a powerful web framework that can handle large-scale projects with ease.
- Security. Wagtail has a strong focus on security, with regular updates to address any potential vulnerabilities.
- SEO-friendly. Wagtail's built-in tools and features make it easy to optimize content for search engines.
We find that it’s an easy transition for clients that are familiar with WordPress (Which, let’s be honest, is everybody these days) but is far more secure and provides limitless flexibility for our development team.
If you can dream it, we can build it!
