Key facts
Services
Seven services from one accountable team — delivered remotely in your working hours.
Built for England
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
Forms, analytics and customer records are built with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 in mind, enforced by the Information Commissioner's Office. We document what each field collects, keep consent explicit, and give your advisers a clear map of the data.
The Equality Act 2010 sets duties in the UK, and the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 add more for public bodies. Reading those against your own situation is a job for your advisers. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA: keyboard paths, contrast, visible focus and tested screen reader flows.
Birmingham works in English and has large South Asian communities. We keep copy plain, set language attributes correctly for assistive technology, and structure content so further languages can be added later without a rebuild. Bilingual EN/FR is available.
Where UK residency matters, we deploy production to United Kingdom cloud regions, keep backups in the same region, and write down every third party service that touches personal data so your team can review the chain before launch.
Sectors
Manufacturers need product data, dealer and distributor portals and shop floor tools that run on older hardware. We build fast, accessible interfaces and connect them to the ERP and inventory systems already running the plant.
Law, accounting and consultancy firms want credible sites, secure client portals and enquiry flows that reach the right partner. We pair clean content structure with search and paid campaigns that bring in work worth quoting on.
Freight and warehousing operators need tracking pages, driver facing tools and integrations with carrier and customs systems. We design for phone screens and weak signal, then keep data moving through tested, monitored APIs.
Clinics and health suppliers need appointment journeys, referral forms and content patients can actually read. We keep personal data minimal, build to WCAG 2.2 AA, and hand over documentation your governance team can check.
Process
Discover
We start with video workshops in your Birmingham afternoon, review the current site or app, agree the outcomes that matter and write a scope you can hold us to.
Design
You see wireframes, then full interface designs in your own browser, with accessibility and content structure decided early rather than patched on the week before launch.
Build
One accountable team writes the code, and you get a working demo every week on a private URL, so Birmingham stakeholders click through progress instead of reading status reports.
Launch
We test on real devices, check WCAG 2.2 AA, wire up analytics and consent, then release to your United Kingdom hosting with a rehearsed rollback plan ready.
Grow
After launch we track behaviour, run search, paid and lifecycle campaigns, and ship improvements in small releases you approve. You own all code, accounts, designs and IP.
FAQ
No. Our studio is in Vancouver, British Columbia, and we have no office or staff in Birmingham. Every Birmingham engagement runs remotely with video calls booked inside your working day, and we travel to England when a workshop, a launch or on-site testing genuinely helps the project.
Birmingham is eight hours ahead of Vancouver, so your afternoon is our morning. We book live calls in that window, usually between 3pm and 6pm your time, and use written updates plus a weekly working demo for everything else. Enquiries get a reply within one business day.
Yes. We deploy to United Kingdom regions on the major cloud providers, keep backups in the same region, and list every third party service that touches personal data before we go live. Your own advisers make the final call on what UK GDPR requires of your organisation.
All seven: web development, web app development, Android app development, iOS app development, full-stack development, AI development and performance marketing. Marketing covers SEO and content, paid search and shopping, paid social, email and lifecycle, analytics and CRO, and creative and media.
We build to WCAG 2.2 AA as standard and test keyboard navigation, contrast and screen reader flows before release, then hand over notes recording what was checked. Equality Act 2010 duties and, for public bodies, the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 are for your advisers to interpret.
You do. Clients own all code, designs, accounts and intellectual property, and we hand over repositories, hosting and analytics access at the end of every engagement. Nothing is locked to a licence you have to keep renewing with us to keep the product running.
