Freelance & Dedicated Development

Not every piece of work is a project. Sometimes you need a developer for a few weeks, an extra pair of hands on a deadline, or someone to keep an existing system healthy. We work that way too.

  • Deliver

What we build

6 areas

Inside dedicated development.

Dedicated developers

An engineer working with your team on your board, your standups and your codebase, for an agreed period.

Fixed-scope work

A defined piece of work with an agreed price and delivery date, for when the requirement is already clear.

Agency white-label delivery

Engineering capacity behind agencies who sell the design and need a reliable build partner.

Maintenance and enhancement

Keeping an existing application running: dependency updates, bug fixes, small features and support.

Technical rescue

Taking over a project that has stalled, stabilising it and getting it back to a releasable state.

Code and architecture review

An independent read on an existing codebase before you invest further in it.

When people come to us
  • You need engineering capacity for a defined period

Chosen per project. If you already run something specific, we work with what you have rather than replacing it for its own sake.

How it runs

5 stages

From first conversation to live software.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Understand your business, users and goals. We map the process as it runs today and agree what success looks like.

    • Requirement notes
    • Process map
    • Scope and estimate
  2. 02

    Design

    Define the experience, the architecture and the product direction — before a line of production code is written.

    • Screen designs
    • Data model
    • Technical plan
  3. 03

    Build

    Develop the product in short cycles using modern engineering practice, with something reviewable at the end of each one.

    • Working builds
    • Code review
    • Automated tests
  4. 04

    Launch

    Test, deploy and make the product available to users, with monitoring in place from the first day it is live.

    • Deployment
    • Monitoring
    • Handover docs
  5. 05

    Grow

    Improve, automate, scale and evolve — guided by what real usage tells you rather than what we assumed.

    • Usage insight
    • Enhancements
    • Support

Questions

About dedicated development.

Yes. We take on freelance and dedicated engagements — by the week, by the month, or as a fixed-scope piece of work.

There is no fixed minimum. If it is a few days of work and we are the right people for it, we will say so; if we are not, we will say that too.
