Backend & infrastructure
Products usually break at the point they start working — the launch that goes well is the one that takes the site down. We design the data layer and deployment so growth is a cost question rather than an emergency.
Who it's for
Products that have found users, and infrastructure that was never designed for them.
What's included
- API design and implementation

Timeline
Typically 4–12 weeks, or ongoing alongside a build. The exact figure goes in your written scope before anything starts.
How it runs
- 01ConversationYou tell us what you are trying to build and why. We ask questions, and we say early if we are the wrong studio for it.
- 02Scope and estimateA written scope: what gets built, what it costs, how long it takes. No work starts before you have agreed to it.
- 03BuildWork in short cycles with something to look at each time. You see progress as it happens rather than at the end.
- 04Launch and afterRelease, handover, and documentation. Ongoing maintenance if you want it, and a clean exit if you do not.
