Services we offer

Everything node.js development should include — and usually doesn’t.

REST & GraphQL APIs

Well-documented, versioned APIs your team and partners can build against confidently.

Auth done properly

JWT, OAuth or session-based auth implemented with the edge cases handled, not just the happy path.

Real-time features

WebSockets and Socket.io for live updates, chat, notifications and dashboards that update themselves.

Queues & background jobs

Long-running work moved off the request cycle so your API stays responsive under load.

Database integration

PostgreSQL, MongoDB or Redis — schema design and query tuning that doesn't fall over at scale.

Monitoring built in

Logging, error tracking and health checks shipped with the service, not bolted on after an incident.

Fixed quotes, kept promises

The price you approve is the price you pay — scope changes are agreed in writing before they cost anything.

Senior engineers only

No juniors learning on your budget. The people who quote your project build it.

90+ PageSpeed as standard

Performance budgets are in the contract, not the sales pitch.

You own everything

Code, repos, accounts, designs — full IP assignment from day one.

Weekly clickable demos

See real progress every week; steer while steering is cheap.

A team, not a ticket queue

Named engineers and one point of contact for the whole project — not a different freelancer every sprint.

Smart investment

Why node.js development is one of the smartest investments you’ll make.

Not a cost to minimise — money that comes back, in ways you can point to a year from now.

Lower running costs

Clean, update-safe code and right-sized hosting mean fewer emergency fixes and smaller bills for years, not just at launch.

Built to be found

SEO foundations from the first commit mean the site starts earning organic traffic instead of paying for every visitor.

Grows without a rebuild

Architecture chosen for where you're headed, not just where you are — so success doesn't force a rewrite in year two.

Your team can run it

A CMS or admin your people actually understand cuts your dependency on a developer for every small change.

Fixed price protects your budget

The quote you approve is the price you pay — no scope creep eating a budget you'd earmarked elsewhere.

You own the asset outright

Full IP assignment means the site is a business asset on your books, not something you rent from an agency.

How it works

How we deliver node.js development — step by step.

01

Discover & plan

We dig into your goals, market and competitors, then agree scope, timeline and success metrics before any code is written.

02

Design & prototype

Wireframes become polished, on-brand designs you approve up front — no surprises at launch.

03

Build & test

Senior engineers build in weekly sprints with previews you can click, plus QA across devices and browsers.

04

Launch & grow

We deploy, monitor and hand over cleanly — then keep optimising with data from real users.

How your node.js development runs

Your node.js development project, stage by stage.

Most agency process diagrams describe the agency. This one describes what lands in your inbox — because that’s the part you can hold us to.

01Stage 01

Discovery & architecture

Before anything is designed, we work out what the thing has to do, what it has to talk to, and what would make it fail.

  • Audit of the existing site, data and integrations
  • Data model and API contracts agreed in writing
  • Technical decisions documented with the reasoning, not just the choice
  • Scope written down and priced — fixed before work starts
You receiveA written scope and fixed price you approve before we begin.
02Stage 02

Design & prototype

Something clickable before anything is built, because changing a prototype costs hours and changing a build costs weeks.

  • Wireframes for the flows that carry the most traffic
  • High-fidelity design in Figma, on-brand and responsive
  • Component library so later pages stay consistent
  • Accessibility checked at design stage (WCAG 2.2 AA), not retrofitted
You receiveAn interactive prototype you can click through and sign off.
03Stage 03

Build

Work ships to a staging link continuously, so you're never waiting until the end to see progress.

  • Staging environment live from week one
  • TypeScript end to end — type errors caught before they ship
  • Version control with reviewable history
  • Weekly progress you can look at, not a status email
You receiveA staging URL that updates as we go, yours to share internally.
04Stage 04

Testing & review

The stage most agencies compress. We test on real devices and fix what we find before you see it.

  • Cross-browser and real-device testing, not just a desktop resize
  • Performance measured against Core Web Vitals thresholds
  • Accessibility audit — keyboard, screen reader, contrast
  • Forms, payments and integrations tested end to end
You receiveA written test report, and a fix list we work through with you.
05Stage 05

Launch

Planned rather than hoped. Redirects mapped first, because a launch that loses rankings costs more than it delivered.

  • 301 redirect map from every old URL
  • DNS, SSL and email deliverability verified before cutover
  • Analytics and Search Console configured and confirmed reporting
  • Rollback plan agreed in advance
You receiveA live site, with the old URLs still resolving to the right pages.
06Stage 06

After launch

Thirty days of fixes at no charge, then whatever ongoing support genuinely suits you — or none.

  • 30 days of post-launch fixes included
  • Handover session, plus documentation you keep
  • All accounts, code and assets transferred to you
  • Optional retainer — no lock-in, 30 days' notice
You receiveFull ownership: code, designs, accounts, documentation.

The AI we actually use.

Not a list of logos to look current. Each of these does a specific job on real client work — and where a model isn’t the right tool, we say so rather than reaching for it.
