What we build
From a better website to the software your business is missing.
You do not need to squeeze your business into generic software. We build the right tool around the way you actually operate.
WordPress plugins
Purpose-built plugins that replace awkward manual processes, connect services and add exactly the features you need.
Web applications
Secure, responsive applications for memberships, bookings, administration, customer portals and internal operations.
SaaS products
From first idea to a maintainable subscription platform, with thoughtful product design and room to scale.
Automation
Connect repetitive workflows, reduce double entry and give your team more time for the work that matters.
Ongoing development
A practical technical partner for improvements, integrations, support and the next stage of your product.
Bad Otter products
Software we are turning into repeatable products.
Built from real operational problems, then broadened so other businesses can use the same strong foundations.
Book Your Slot
Flexible bookings, registrations, timed sessions, optional items, customer history and restricted mobile staff check-in without giving scanner users WordPress admin access.
Ultimate Social Feeds
A modular WordPress feed platform built around a shared Core and focused add-ons. Start with the feed types you need and expand without replacing the platform.
How we work
Clear thinking. Clean builds. No unnecessary nonsense.
01 — Understand
We get to the root of the problem, the users involved and the result the project needs to deliver.
02 — Design
We shape a clear solution and remove complexity before it becomes expensive code.
03 — Build
We create a fast, maintainable product with sensible foundations and a premium finish.
04 — Improve
We test, refine and continue developing the parts that create the most value.
