From the journal

Writing about the decisions behind websites, software and applications, alongside earlier articles from our archive.

New articles will appear here as they are published.

The studio

We’re a software development studio based in Norwich. We build websites, business software and mobile applications for clients, and develop products of our own.

On a new project, we start by looking at who will use the software and what they need to do. With an existing system, we look at the workflows people already rely on and how to test changes before introducing them.

We think about what happens after release, too. That includes how people will update a website, maintain an integration or extend a feature as their needs change.
