SearchOps Studio · Web apps

Customer-facing software, built to run for years.

Turning a service or a process into software is a big step. The demo is the easy part. The hard part is logins, payments, permissions, emails that actually arrive, and an admin console your team can run it from. We build on the same stack that runs SearchOps every day.

Sound familiar?

Does this sound like your team?

If two or more of these are true, it is worth twenty minutes to see what a build would look like.

Customers ask for a portal, a booking flow or an app you don't have.

A manual service could become a product if the admin went away.

You have a prototype that isn't ready for real customers or real money.

You need it live in weeks, not a year.

What we build

The parts of the build, in plain terms

01

Accounts and sign-up

Email and Google sign-in, teams and invitations, password resets and account settings, done properly.

02

Payments and subscriptions

Stripe checkout, plans, deposits, invoices, upgrades and cancellations, set up with your finance records in mind.

03

An admin console

Your team can find any customer, see what happened, fix problems and run reports without a developer.

04

Email and notifications

Transactional emails that look right, arrive, and can be turned off by the customer.

05

Maps and location search

Find the nearest branch, show service areas or plot customers, with map costs kept under control.

06

Built to be run

Monitoring, error alerts, backups, and background jobs that retry when a supplier fails.

Example builds

What a project like this looks like

Examples of the kind of build we do, to make the scope concrete. They are illustrations, not client case studies.

  • A monthly subscription with team seats
  • An admin console and usage reporting

How it runs

From first call to running software

Fixed price per milestone, and you can see every task at every stage.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    1 to 2 weeks

    We meet the people who will use it, map the tools and data, and agree a fixed price for each milestone.

  2. 02

    Build in milestones

    9 to 13 weeks, typically

    Each milestone ends in something you can use on a preview link. A shared board shows every task, and you get a short video update each week.

  3. 03

    Launch and handover

    Launch week

    We go live, train your team, hand over the documentation, and fix anything that comes up in the first 30 days.

  4. 04

    Care plan

    From £295/month

    Optional. Hosting, monitoring, updates when connected tools change, and improvement days on the higher plans.
