Your vision,our purpose.
A software studio for custom business systems,
client portals and premium digital products.
How we take a messy brief and get it into people's hands.
Four stages, in order: scoping, architecture, development, deployment. You leave each one with something concrete before we start the next.
1.1 · Scoping
We write down how the product will be used.
Who is on the other side of the screen, what they are trying to accomplish, and which constraints will wreck a good design. We leave with a written boundary: what is in the first release, and what waits.
You
Walk through the real workflow
Studio
Map users, risk, and the first cut
Shared
Agree the MVP in writing
1.2 · Architecture
Then we draw the system that carries it.
Web, mobile, data, payments, sign-in. We choose each one because it belongs in this product, and we lay the plan out with you before a screen is drawn. You leave with a clear picture of the first release.
Studio
Lay out the stack and the data
You
Read the plan with us

Agree the shape before the screens
1.3 · Development
We ship slices you can click through.
You see working software as we go. A checkout. A job on a map. A login. A website. Feedback lands on something usable and the next step in the process is a development on that.
Studio
Ship a thin, working slice
You
Use it like a customer would

Shape the next slice together
1.4 · Deployment
We launch it with you.
We set the environments, move the data, put monitoring in place, and walk through the release together. You leave with a system ready for people to use. We can stay on if you want us to.
Studio
Prepare the release and hand it over
You
Invite the first people in

Stay with the first week
Tell us what you are trying to get into people's hands.
A short call is usually enough to tell if we are a fit.
Custom software, business systems and managed services.
Custom software for organisations that already run. It fits the work you already do.
The people doing the work
Beyond the code.
Sol Studio grew out of computer science, then on experience in systems people actually rely on. That is still how we work — close to the code and careful with the delicate parts.
Software is written in-house from start to finish. If something is going to constrain your project, we name it in the first conversation while there's still time to make a real choice.
We stay close to the project during the whole build. This keeps the architecture clean and your project doesn't sit in a queue behind ten others. Bring us the messy brief. We're good at sorting it out together.

A product, a site, a business system. A few lines is enough. We read these ourselves and can't wait to get started.
