Why Use Us
Most developers only class themselves as "Full Stack Developers" when the market demands it of them.
In reality most of us would really self-identify as either front end or back end developers.
What this means is that when a full stack developer is required, most employers / customers end up with a dragon or a horse.
We, like other developers who could market themselves as Full Stack Developers, could both build a web app by ourselves. However, it wouldn’t be a great app.
Gwil’s would be solid as a rock but wouldn’t win any beauty contests. Andrew’s would look and feel pleasant but would have a clunky back end.
When we build things together we produce great work.
When organisations look for a full stack developer, more often than not, a team of two specialists would be preferable for them. However, employing two specialists who don't know one another means the time taken to deliver the project is unlikely to half.
Whilst a better product would be delivered with two specialists, the additional time obviously makes the project more expensive. As budget lines are generally fixed the single full stack developer is used.
Where we differ is that we do not charge for two specialists. We charge as a single full stack developer. However we will deliver a project more quickly and to a higher standard than a single full stack developer would. This means an improvemet in quality, cost and time.
We work with organisations large and small. We have experience of joining teams on existing projects as well as working on projects independently of in-house teams.
With a background in customer facing roles we are happy to attend client meetings, whether face to face or remotely.
We work from our office in Farnham on a remote basis. However, we are set up to work “virtually” on site.
This means we have web cams and mics set up allowing us to be visible and audible in client offices / dev rooms.
This set up allows us to work in any location and keep our rates as low as possible.
