Custom software studio

Real software,
built in the open.

We design and build web apps, platforms, and integrations for growing businesses — with fixed quotes, weekly demos, and full source ownership. No agencies-of-agencies. No black boxes.

Available for new projects

Studio, not agency

Senior engineers only. The people who design your system are the people who write it.

The stack we build on — chosen so you can hire for it later

What we do

Four ways we ship
software that lasts

We design, build, and connect software for growing businesses. Every engagement is scoped in writing, quoted at a fixed price, and delivered in your repository. If a problem is outside what we do well, we say so and point you somewhere better.

Website design & build

Marketing sites that load fast, say something specific, and stay editable after we leave. We design in the browser on real content — not a stock template with your logo dropped into it.

  • Design, copy structure & page architecture
  • Accessible, responsive, fast by default
  • SEO fundamentals and structured data
  • CMS setup or a clean hand-off to your team

Custom web apps

Full-stack products built to a written spec — accounts, permissions, payments, dashboards, and the admin tooling your team actually runs the business on.

  • Next.js and React front ends
  • Authentication, roles & Stripe billing
  • Databases, APIs & background jobs
  • Reporting and internal admin views

Systems integration

The tools you already pay for, connected into one workflow that talks to itself — so nobody is re-typing the same order into three systems at the end of the day.

  • Third-party and internal APIs
  • Webhooks, queues & automation
  • Data sync, imports & migrations
  • Payment and CRM plumbing

Technical consulting

A second opinion before you commit budget. Architecture reviews, build-versus-buy calls, and honest estimates — billed by the hour, with no retainer required.

  • Architecture & stack reviews
  • Code and security audits
  • Scoping, estimates & roadmaps
  • Due diligence on inherited codebases
Where we do our best work

Industries we already
understand

We are not a generalist shop that learns your business on your budget. These are the domains where we already know the edge cases, the compliance questions, and the things that quietly go wrong at scale.

  1. 01

    Fintech & trading platforms

    Real-time pricing, risk and rule engines, payout flows, and reporting that has to reconcile to the cent. We have shipped account lifecycles, drawdown rules, and broker integrations in production.

  2. 02

    SaaS products

    Multi-tenant applications with subscription billing, usage limits, trials, and the admin console your support team lives in. Built so a second engineer can join without a two-week tour.

  3. 03

    E-commerce & subscriptions

    Checkout that converts, payments that reconcile, and the back office behind them — refunds, invoices, coupons, and the reporting that tells you which of those is losing money.

  4. 04

    Marketplaces

    Two-sided flows done properly: onboarding and verification, split payouts, disputes, and the trust-and-safety tooling that keeps both sides of the market willing to come back.

  5. 05

    Clinics & health services

    Booking, intake forms, reminders, and patient communication — built with a careful eye on what personal data you store, where it lives, and who is allowed to see it.

  6. 06

    Professional services

    Client portals, document workflows, quoting, and internal tools that replace the spreadsheet everyone is scared to touch — without forcing your team into someone else's process.

About

Accountable
by design.

For Real Tech is a software studio. We partner with fintech, trading, and high-growth teams that need serious, data-dense software — and a team that owns the outcome, not just the tickets.

No offshore hand-offs, no mystery roadmaps. Senior engineers, direct communication, and code you keep. We move quickly because the people designing the system are the people writing it.

Why teams pick us

Straight answers,
start to finish

The honest version of what working together looks like.

You own everything
Code lives in your repository from day one. No license traps, no "hosting hostage" situations. If we part ways, you keep a working product and a team can pick it up.
Fixed price, agreed up front
We scope the work, write it down, and quote a fixed figure before starting. Change the scope and we re-quote in the open — you never get a surprise bill at the end.
You see it every week
A live demo every week on a real environment — not screenshots. Feedback lands while it's cheap to act on, not after launch.
We'll tell you to stop
If an off-the-shelf tool does the job for a fraction of the cost, we'll say so — even if it means a smaller project for us. Trust is worth more than one invoice.
Pricing

Clear packages, or a custom quote

Starting prices for common projects. Every engagement is confirmed with a fixed written quote once we've scoped it together — the number below is where the conversation starts, not a surprise at the end.

Launch

A marketing site or a small, focused web app.

from $1,900 (£1,500)

  • Up to ~5 pages / one core flow
  • Responsive & accessible
  • Deployed to your hosting
  • 2 weeks of fixes included
Pay securely → or request a quote first

Integrate & consult

Integrations, audits, or ongoing engineering.

from $120/hr (£95/hr)

  • Systems & API integration
  • Architecture & code audits
  • Billed in tracked hours
  • Or a fixed quote per project
Ask for a quote

Prices in USD, excluding any applicable taxes. Checkout is handled securely by Stripe — card details never touch our servers. Larger platforms and ongoing work are quoted individually — tell us what you need.

How it works

From first call to handover

  1. 01

    Scope

    A call to understand the problem. We write down what we'll build and what we won't, then send a fixed quote.

  2. 02

    Build

    Work happens in short cycles in your repo. You get a live demo every week and can steer as it takes shape.

  3. 03

    Ship

    We deploy to your hosting, hand over docs and access, and stay on for a fixed window of fixes.

  4. 04

    Support

    Need changes later? Come back for a small fixed job or hourly work — no lock-in, no retainer required.
