Websites and applications built to hold up under load.
We build the software behind our own product. These are the same people, the same standards and the same review process.
Most agency work stops at launch. Ours starts there — because we run what we build, and anything fragile comes back to us first.
What ageing software actually costs
Old code rarely fails loudly. It leaks: a second here, a manual step there, a customer who gives up halfway. None of it appears on an invoice.
Visitors leave before the page does anything
A slow first render costs you the people who never told you they were there. They do not complain — they simply go elsewhere.
People do work a system should do
Copying between tools, re-keying the same record, chasing a status by email. Each one is small. Together they are somebody's whole week.
Growth hits a wall you cannot see
Everything holds until the day it does not: a campaign lands, traffic triples, and the architecture that was fine at ten requests a second stops being fine.
Three kinds of work, one standard
The scope differs; the way we build does not. Everything below runs through the same reviews and the same performance budget.
Marketing sites and landing pages
Sites judged on what they do rather than how they look in a portfolio: fast first render, a clear path to one action, and structure search engines can read.
Web applications and internal tools
The category the LOT App belongs to. Multi-user systems with roles, permissions, real data volumes and a support burden we carry ourselves.
Integrations and automation
Connecting the systems a company already runs so the same record stops being typed three times. Usually the cheapest work with the largest visible effect.
The audit comes before the estimate
We will not price work we do not understand. The first step is looking at what you have, saying what is actually wrong, and telling you honestly if the problem is not one we should be solving.
- 01 Foundation
Look first
A free technical audit: what runs today, where it slows down, and which part is genuinely worth rebuilding. Sometimes the answer is that very little is.
- 02 Kaizen / Agile
Ship something small
A working slice you can use, early, rather than a full system in six months. Feedback from real use beats another round of specification.
- 03 Deployment
Hand it over properly
Documentation, access and a deployment you can run without us. A project that only we can maintain is a project we built wrong.
Two disciplines, one team
Interface and engine are built together. Splitting them across two suppliers is how you get a product that looks right and behaves wrong.
Interface
Screens designed around what a person is trying to finish, not around the database schema. Fewer decisions per screen, and the important one always visible.
Engine
Clean, typed code with a performance budget agreed before the first line. We measure against it on every deploy rather than after complaints arrive.
Questions we get before the first call
It depends on scope, but a first working version people can actually use typically lands in four to eight weeks. We would rather put something small in front of real users early than hand over a full system in six months and discover the specification was wrong.
Because we will not price work we have not looked at, and because it is the fastest way for both sides to find out whether there is a project here at all. Sometimes the honest outcome of an audit is that you should fix three things and not hire anyone.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. The first step is the same audit: reading the code, finding out what is documented and what is folklore, and telling you what is worth keeping. Migration runs alongside the old system rather than replacing it overnight.
Tell us what is slowing you down.
Describe the problem in a few sentences — the system, the symptom, roughly how long it has been happening. You get a free audit and a straight answer about whether this is work we should be doing.
