Standards

How we make things

Working standards rather than certificates. They are the same whether the project is large or small, and you are welcome to check us against them.

Progress you can touch

Every fortnight there is something to install, click or read. Not a status report: the thing itself.

Two pairs of eyes

All code is reviewed before it is merged. Your developers are welcome to review too.

Tested where it matters

Automated tests for core behaviour, manual checks on real devices, and accessibility testing with keyboards and screen readers.

Reasons on record

Significant decisions are written down with the options considered and why one was chosen.

Your keys, your name

Repositories, accounts, domains, hosting and credentials belong to your organisation from day one.

Problems raised early

If something is going wrong, you hear it promptly with options, not at the end with excuses.

Skills shared

If your team wants to learn something, we build time for it into the plan.

Tidy handover

Documentation, walkthroughs and a final review, so you can carry on with or without us.
