Web Development
Websites and web applications that load quickly, are easy to change and do a clear job for the business.
Software house · London · UK
A London software house building the systems businesses run on
Custom software, web and mobile applications, AI features and online stores for companies in London and across the UK. Planned around your business, and built to last.
What we build
Seven areas of work, from a single website to the software at the centre of your operations.
Mobile Apps
Custom iOS, Android and cross-platform apps, taken from first idea through store launch and beyond.
Custom Software
Bespoke systems built around how your business actually works, for when off-the-shelf tools no longer fit.
AI Development
Practical AI features and custom solutions that run on your data, with quality measured rather than assumed.
eCommerce
Online stores on Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento or custom platforms, chosen by how you actually sell.
SEO
Technical SEO, content and local search, run by people who can also fix the code themselves.
UI/UX Design
Research, prototypes and interface design for products people find easy, working closely with the developers.
Sectors with rules of their own
NHS assessments, FCA expectations and lettings reform all affect how software should be designed. We have written up what we think about in each.
How a project runs
Small steps, working software early, and no surprises at the end.
Understand
We learn what the business needs and challenge the brief where it helps.
Scope
We agree a first release that’s small enough to ship soon, with a clear budget.
Design
Clickable prototypes come first, tested while changes are still cheap.
Build
Short cycles with regular demos, so you always see real progress.
Launch and improve
A careful rollout, then support and improvements based on real use.
The kind of work we take on
Project write-ups will appear here as they’re published. In the meantime, these are the problems we’re set up to solve.
Replacing spreadsheets
Moving a process that has outgrown Excel or Access into a proper system with permissions and an audit trail.
Rescuing stalled projects
Reviewing code from a previous supplier and working out honestly what to keep, fix or replace.
First product releases
Getting a focused first version of a SaaS product or app in front of real customers.
Adding AI to existing tools
Summaries, document extraction and search inside the software your team already uses.
Replatforming online stores
Moving to a better platform with products, customers and search rankings intact.
Fixing what search can’t see
Technical SEO and speed work done in the code, not just listed in a report.
Why work with Techpedia
We’ll tell you when not to build
If an existing product would serve you better, you’ll hear it from us first, even though it costs us the project.
You should own what you pay for
We expect you to hold the code, hosting, domain and store accounts, so you’re never tied to us.
Mainstream technology by default
We choose well-supported tools that other developers can pick up later.
Search and speed from the start
URL structure, metadata and performance are planned in, rather than patched on after launch.
Honest about what we can’t promise
No guaranteed rankings, no invented metrics, and no fixed prices before we understand the work.
Technology we work with
Chosen for how well it’s supported and how easy it is to maintain, not for how new it is.

Guides for people buying software
Custom Software
How to choose a software development company in London
Directories and “top 10” lists won’t tell you who’s right for your project. These are the checks and questions that do.
Custom Software
Custom software vs off-the-shelf: how to decide
Most businesses should buy software for most things. Here’s how to spot the cases where building your own really pays off.
Custom Software
How much does custom software cost in the UK?
Published UK figures start at around £10,000 and run well past £150,000. Here’s why the range is so wide and how to estimate your own project.
Frequently asked questions
What does a software house do?
A software house designs, builds and maintains software for other businesses. That can mean websites, mobile apps, internal systems or products you sell to your own customers.
Do you only work with London companies?
No. We focus on London and work with businesses across the UK. Most project work runs well remotely, through regular calls and shared tools.
How do I get a price?
Send us a short description through the quote form, ideally with a budget range. We’ll come back with questions, and we quote once the scope is clear.
Can you take over a project from another supplier?
Yes. We’d begin with a code review and tell you what we find before you commit to anything further.
Tell us what you need built
A few sentences is plenty. We read every enquiry and reply by email with questions or sensible next steps.
