Retail and hospitality
A site that has to load on a phone, on a bad signal, while somebody decides whether to bother.
Northampton
Northampton is fifteen minutes from our desk, so "we will come and sit with you" is a real offer rather than a figure of speech.
Near enough to turn up.
We work with businesses across Northampton from shopfronts to distribution, and the pattern is nearly always the same: a site built five years ago by someone who has since disappeared, running a theme nobody dares update.
The job behind the enquiry.
Somebody inherited a website. It works, mostly, until it does not, and the person who built it stopped answering two years ago. Nobody wants to touch the theme in case it breaks, so it sits there getting slower and further out of date.
01
A site that has to load on a phone, on a bad signal, while somebody decides whether to bother.
02
Usually less about the website and more about the thing behind it: stock, scheduling, who has been told what.
03
Where the website is the credibility check before the first call, so slow and dated costs real work.
Things that change the job here.
01
The single unitary authority here since 1 April 2021, when the county council and the borough and district councils were replaced. Public sector work in Northampton means one authority and one procurement route, not two.
02
The council’s headquarters, with full council at the Guildhall — which is fifteen minutes from our desk when something needs saying in person.
The two things we are asked for.
Both are hand-coded, and both come with the same performance and accessibility standards.

Beanz Barn: a booking and capacity system
Said out loud.
A hand-coded site starts at £2,500 and most land between £4,000 and £12,000. Custom software is quoted on scope, because it has to be. A £295 teardown gets you a recorded review and a prioritised fix list, credited against any work you book — which is the cheapest way to find out whether you need us at all.
We work across the area.
Northampton, specifically.
Yes. We are a web development and software agency based in Daventry, Northamptonshire, and Northampton is comfortably within the area we cover in person. Most of the work happens remotely either way, and we will come to you when it helps.
The same as anywhere: from £2,500 for a hand-coded site, with most between £4,000 and £12,000. Custom software is quoted on scope. We do not price by postcode.
Yes, and it is most of what we do. Booking and capacity systems, internal tools, public-facing portals and mobile apps. Software we built and still run is in use at UK councils and takes real money.
Yes. ZoruForms, the consultation platform we built, is used by Staffordshire County Council. Public sector work has to survive accessibility regulation and procurement scrutiny, so that is how we build.
