Custom Development

Hand-coded.
Pixel-perfect.
Limitless.

When templates end and real engineering begins, that's where we live. React, Next.js, vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, and beyond. No CMS ceiling. No compromise. Just clean code built exactly to your vision.

Why Custom Code

When off-the-shelf isn't enough

Every CMS and page-builder has a ceiling. Custom-coded sites have none. When your vision is bigger than what any template can hold, that's when you call us.

Unmatched Performance No plugin overhead. No framework bloat. Code written for your specific use case loads faster than any templated alternative.
♾️
Zero Design Limits Scroll-jacking, 3D scenes, real-time data, custom cursors, liquid layouts. If you can dream it, we can build it.
🔒
Total Ownership No platform subscriptions. No vendor lock-in. You own every byte of code. Host it anywhere, modify anything.
📈
Built to Scale Architected properly from day one. Clean components, optimised queries, and infrastructure that grows with your business.

What We Build

Every type of custom build

From marketing sites to full-stack applications.

⚛️

React & Next.js Sites

Component-driven, SEO-optimised sites built on the most powerful frontend stack in existence. Server components, streaming, and App Router native.

🎭

Animated / Interactive Sites

GSAP timelines, scroll-triggered sequences, 3D WebGL scenes, and micro-interactions that make visitors stop and stare. Motion with purpose.

🛒

Custom E-Commerce

Headless commerce builds using Shopify, Stripe, or custom backends. Product pages, cart logic, and checkout flows engineered for conversion.

📱

Progressive Web Apps

Offline-ready, app-like web experiences. Push notifications, service workers, install prompts.

🔗

API & Integration Builds

Connect your site to any third-party service. CRMs, payment gateways, databases, webhooks, AI APIs. We design and wire the full data layer.

Landing Page Campaigns

High-converting, fast-loading single-page experiences for launches, ads, and lead generation. A/B testing and analytics wired in from the start.

How We Build

Engineering that shows

The technical details that separate a good build from a great one.

01
Performance Architecture

Built to score 100 on PageSpeed every time

We architect every custom build around Core Web Vitals from the first line of code. Server-Side Rendering, static generation, image optimisation, edge caching, and code splitting aren't afterthoughts. They're the foundation.

Clean Component Architecture

Code you can hand to any developer and they'll understand

We write modular, typed, documented TypeScript. Clear component hierarchy, separation of concerns, and consistent naming. Whether you're scaling your team or handing the project off, the codebase stays clean.

Motion & Interaction Design

Animations that elevate, not distract

GSAP and Framer Motion in skilled hands create experiences that feel alive not gimmicky. Scroll-triggered reveals, staggered entrances, hover states with spring physics, and page transitions that feel like native app navigation.

Framer Motion layout animations & shared-element transitions

// GSAP scroll sequence
import { gsap } from 'gsap'
import { ScrollTrigger } from 'gsap/ST'

gsap.from('.hero-card', {
  opacity: 0,
  y: 60,
  stagger: 0.15,
  ease: 'power3.out',
  scrollTrigger: {
    trigger: '.section',
    start: 'top 75%',
  }
})
How We Work

From brief to deployed

Agile, transparent, and collaborative.

01

Discovery & Scoping

We map your goals, user journeys, tech requirements, and integrations. A detailed spec is produced before any code is written.

02

Design in Figma

You approve full interactive prototypes on desktop and mobile before we write a single line. No blind builds.

03

Build & QA

Sprints with weekly check-ins. Code reviewed, tested on real devices, and cross-browser validated. Two revision rounds included.

04

Deploy & Handover

CI/CD pipeline, deployment to your infrastructure, full documentation, and a code walkthrough. You own everything.

Let's Talk

All hand-coded builds. No page builders, no templates, no WordPress unless requested.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before we start building.

Custom code is the right choice when you need maximum performance (PageSpeed 95+), a completely unique design that no template can achieve, advanced interactivity or animations, custom functionality or API integrations, or when you're building something more like a web application than a website. If you're comfortable managing content in a traditional editor and don't need cutting-edge performance or design, WordPress or a CMS may serve you perfectly well.

Yes, we typically integrate a headless CMS (like Sanity, Contentful, or Notion) that gives you a clean editor for managing text, images, and blog posts. You never touch the code. The frontend is custom-built; the content layer is as easy to use as any other CMS.

Landing pages: 1–2 weeks. Full custom websites: 4–8 weeks. Full-stack applications: 8–16 weeks depending on scope. Every project gets a firm timeline in the proposal and weekly check-ins to stay on track.

Always. You receive the complete repository on GitHub, full deployment credentials, documentation, and a walkthrough session. There is no lock-in of any kind. The code is yours.

Every project includes 30–60 days of post-launch support. After that, we offer retainer plans for ongoing development, feature additions, and maintenance. Many clients keep us on monthly retainer as their dedicated development partner.

Yes we can refactor, redesign, and extend existing React or Next.js codebases. We'll audit the current code first and give you an honest assessment of what's worth keeping versus rebuilding. We won't charge you for unnecessary rewrites.
