Taking over someone else’s software
Developer gone quiet? An app put together quickly that’s now holding the business up? Something built with an AI tool that’s outgrown itself? We take these on regularly. We audit what’s there, document it, secure it, then fix or rebuild the parts causing trouble.
What it’s built with
PHP and MySQL, HTML, JavaScript and jQuery. When there’s a mobile app alongside it, the app is built in C# and .NET MAUI. Hosted on our managed servers in UK data centres, or yours. Plain, well-documented technology any competent developer can maintain.
How pricing works
A fixed price for a fixed scope, agreed after a free scoping call. Bigger projects are split into stages, each priced and signed off before it starts.

Frequently asked questions
Will I own the source code?
Yes. Once it’s paid for, the code, database and documentation are yours.
How long does a project take?
Most web apps take 8 to 10 weeks. You see a working version early, not just at the end.
Do you look after it afterwards?
Yes. Most clients move onto a monthly support plan covering hosting, monitoring, updates and small changes.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Usually. If it has an API, we can almost certainly connect to it.
