Solving unique & complex requirements
We’ve created globally scalable platforms for B2Bs across Finance, Healthcare, Education and beyond.
Platform Development commences at the conclusion of our design phase, with our Design and Development teams coming together to evaluate the entire platform.
A platform, unlike a website, typically means membership or subscription models with authentication, API integrations to CRMs and external datasets, and bespoke business logic that no off-the-shelf build can serve.
We’ve built a healthcare data platform visualising national health-service market data, so purchasers and tender teams can assess the landscape and prepare bids. For a financial services client, we digitised what was previously a paper-based due-diligence process into a series of tailored content-authoring workflows, while keeping every internal review step the client was used to.
We design each component to stay flexible and adapt as your requirements change. AI now speeds up the UI-generation stage of a build, which lets us put more development time into the back end and the business logic, translating complex requirements into a system that actually works the way you need it to.

Platform Development FAQs
Get in touch with Will for more answers.
Platform development typically means membership or subscription models with authentication, API integrations to CRMs and external datasets, and bespoke business logic that no off-the-shelf build can serve. Websites are usually content-led with one main type of visitor, so they rarely need the role-based, multi-user complexity a platform requires.
We work across a range of technologies depending on the project, including React, Next.js, Node, GraphQL and Storybook.
Scalability is part of the planning from day one. We assess long-term needs upfront and design a flexible architecture that can adapt as your business grows, rather than retrofitting scale later
Every platform goes through the same quality process as our websites: self-review, GitHub version control, peer review against the requirement spec, then dedicated QA testing across current and previous browser versions and a range of iOS and Android devices.
Security sits at every level of design and development: SSL encryption, secure coding standards, data encryption, firewalls, regular security audits and penetration testing. We build to support compliance with regulations like GDPR, PCI-DSS, or industry-specific standards relevant to your business.
Yes, platforms and websites are built by the same in-house team, weighted towards our back-end developers given the additional complexity a platform brings.
Yes, we build integrations into CRMs and internal databases as part of platform builds. See our API Integrations page for more on how we approach this.
