Custom development
The studio · Custom development
The feature no builder sells. Built for you, kept up for good.
Quoting, bookings, portals, integrations, AI. We build it as a module beside the o/i core: tested, yours, and still working after every update.
What we build
If it's slowing your business down, we can probably build it away.
- 01 · Integrations
Make your tools talk
Two-way syncs so nobody types the same thing twice.
Shopify · WordPress · Notion · Slack · Xero · Google · Meta
- 02 · Workflows
Paperwork that does itself
Quotes, invoices, bookings, job sheets and approvals, built the way you already work.
Quote → accept online → invoice → paid
- 03 · Portals
A private door for customers
Client portals, member areas and partner logins on your own domain.
Files · orders · bookings · messages
- 04 · AI
AI that does real work
Assistants that answer from your own content, sort enquiries and draft replies. Not a chatbot bolted on.
Answers · drafts · triage · summaries
- 05 · Apps
Web and mobile apps
Tools your team or customers use every day, designed first, then built.
Installable on a phone · works offline where it counts
- 06 · Data
Numbers you can act on
Dashboards and reports pulled from the systems you already pay for.
Sales · stock · enquiries · time
How we build
Engineering you'd expect from a much bigger team.
The same rules the whole platform is built by. For the tech people: here's what that means.
- TypeScript
- Next.js
- React
- Postgres
- Row-level security
- Drizzle
- Zod
- Vercel
- Stripe
- Cloudflare R2
- Vitest
- Playwright
- 01
Every site is locked to itself
Row-level security in the database, not just in the code. One site can never read another's data.
- 02
Beside the core, never a fork
Your module plugs into the platform, so you keep every platform improvement for free.
- 03
Tests before code
Unit, database and browser tests on every change. Nothing merges red.
- 04
Staging before production
You see it on a preview link first. Production is a separate database that test data never touches.
- 05
Small, reversible releases
Changes ship in small pieces. Database changes only ever add, so a rollback is always safe.
- 06
Your data leaves when you do
Everything a module stores is in Export everything, in plain files.
Working together
Small releases. Always something to see.
- 01
Scope
A call, then a short written plan and a fixed quote. You know the price before we start.
- 02
Prototype
Clickable screens first, so the hard decisions happen on paper.
- 03
Build
Weekly releases to a preview link. You always see where it's at.
- 04
Look after
Launch, then fixes and changes from the people who built it.
What would you build if it were easy?
A free 30-minute call, then a fixed quote. Development is billed on its own, separate from your o/i plan.
