Bespoke web platforms, dashboards, admin panels,
internal tools, middleware. The work that doesn't
fit on a CMS, and shouldn't have to.

Custom themes. Custom plugins. Headless builds. WooCommerce subscriptions, multi-currency, middleware, ERP integrations. The stuff most agencies won't take on.

When off-the-shelf doesn't fit, we build to fit

When off-the-shelf doesn't fit, we build to fit

Why this practice exists

Not every project belongs on WordPress, Shopify, or Framer. Government platforms have unusual requirements. Logistics dashboards need real-time data and complex permissions. SaaS admin panels need their own architecture. Subscription businesses need middleware between systems that weren't designed to talk to each other.

This is where we build from scratch. Modern web stacks, careful data modelling, real engineering. We do this for clients whose problems don't fit a CMS template, and we do it for our own products.

Tech stacks we work in

Backend

Node.js, Python, PHP, Strapi, custom APIs

Frontend

Next.js, Nuxt, Vue, vanilla JS, Framer

Databases

PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis

Hosting and infrastructure

AWS, Vercel, Cloudflare, custom (when clients have specific requirements)

Payments and licensing

Stripe, custom

Auth

Clerk, Auth0, Supabase, custom

What we build

Custom web platforms

Government, regulated industries, complex civic systems

Dashboards and admin panels

Operational tools for internal teams, with role-based access and real-time data

Web apps with auth

Login, session management, account systems, integrations

Middleware and integration layers

Where systems need to talk to each other and don't, we build the layer that makes them

Headless backends

Strapi, Sanity, custom APIs, often paired with a Framer or Next.js front-end

Licensing and subscription systems

Stripe-based, with seat management, customer portals, and admin tools

Internal tools

The unglamorous software that runs operations
