Wales
Cardiff has gone from the world's largest coal port to the capital of Wales, home to its parliament, its national broadcasters and a thriving fintech community. We build the websites, web apps, SaaS products and integrations that Cardiff organisations run on, and we deliver them remotely with a clear scope and milestones you approve.
Local context
Cardiff grew rapidly in the nineteenth century as the main export port for coal from the South Wales valleys, and its Coal Exchange became a centre of the trade. It was ranked a city in 1905 and proclaimed capital of Wales in 1955. Today the old docklands of Cardiff Bay hold the Senedd building and the Wales Millennium Centre, and the city acts as the main engine of the Welsh economy.
Media is one of its defining industries. BBC Cymru Wales, S4C and ITV Wales all have studios in the city, and the BBC's Roath Lock studios in Cardiff Bay have produced dramas such as Doctor Who and Casualty. Creative Cardiff, a network working to make the city a connected and collaborative creative capital, links the freelancers, studios and agencies that grow up around that production work.
Finance and technology have grown alongside. FinTech Wales, the membership body for the sector, runs from the city and promotes Wales as a destination for fintech businesses, and the ChipStart UK semiconductor start-up programme has come to Cardiff with backing from CSconnected. The city also sits at the centre of the Cardiff Capital Region, a partnership of ten councils working on investment across South East Wales.
Sectors
Payment start-ups, lenders and insurers in the capital need customer onboarding, policy or account dashboards and internal tools with tight permissions. We build them with audit logs and data separation from day one, so compliance reviews are not an afterthought.
Production companies, post-production houses and freelancers working around Cardiff Bay ask for crew scheduling, asset tracking and client approval portals. Agencies can also bring us in to build under their own name.
With national institutions concentrated in the capital, many organisations here need accessible public websites, grant or application portals and case management that meets public-sector standards for accessibility and records.
City-centre shops, restaurants and venues that serve big-event crowds want online ordering, table or ticket booking and stock that updates across the till and the website.
Semiconductor, data and health-tech start-ups emerging from the city's universities and accelerators often need a working product for pilot customers: secure logins, dashboards over their data and a billing model they can test.
Common requests
The capital mixes national institutions, studios, start-ups and long-established firms, and their briefs reflect that mix.
Sign-up, identity checks and document upload designed so a fintech or insurer can show regulators exactly what happened at each step.
One shared view of crews, kit, locations and deadlines, replacing the spreadsheets that circulate between producers and freelancers.
Sites for charities, associations and public bodies that meet accessibility guidance, load quickly and let staff update content without a developer.
Ordering, booking and pre-payment that cope with sudden peaks when a major event fills the city centre.
A secure, demonstrable first version that a spin-out can put in front of early customers and funders, built so it can grow rather than be thrown away.
Services
Cardiff audiences range from national funders to weekend visitors, so we build sites that are accessible, quick on a phone and clear about who you serve, with enquiry routes you can measure.
Case management, production planning, approvals and client portals built around your organisation's own process, with roles that match how responsibility actually works in your Cardiff team.
Crews on location, staff at venues and advisers in the field can share one installable app on phones, tablets and laptops, with updates delivered through the browser rather than an app store.
For fintech and deep-tech founders in the capital, we build a focused first release with secure accounts, subscriptions and an admin panel, ready for pilot users and the questions investors ask.
Shops, venues and producers selling from Cardiff get checkouts, click-and-collect, gift vouchers and trade ordering that link to stock and accounting, so busy weekends do not mean manual reconciling.
We connect CRMs, payment providers, identity checks, finance systems and booking tools so data passes between them reliably, with errors logged and retried rather than lost.
How we work
Every Cardiff engagement is handled remotely. We begin with a video discovery session, write up what we heard, and agree a proposal that lists the scope, the milestones and the price before any build starts. Stakeholders who cannot join a call can still follow every decision in the client panel.
Work is shown early and often. Each milestone ends with a test build you can click through, and feedback is collected in writing so nothing depends on memory. Organisations with procurement or governance steps can attach the documents they need to the same record.
A video call to understand the business, the people who will use the software and what has to change.
Scope, milestones and price in writing. Nothing starts until you accept it.
Each milestone is reviewed with you; progress, files and decisions stay in your client panel.
Go-live when you are ready, then maintenance and hosting if you want them.
