faq

UK buyer questions, answered

Are you a UK company or based in India?

We are an India-based engineering studio that has built and run software for UK companies and agencies since 2015. You get UK-hours communication and UK-standard engineering, with full ownership, at a fraction of UK day-rates.

Why outsource web development to India instead of hiring in the UK?

Senior engineers and faster delivery at roughly 50–70% less than UK day-rates, with the same code standards and 100% of the IP staying yours. We have done exactly this for UK clients for 12 years.

How does communication work across the timezone?

We work your UK hours, in your Slack or Teams, with one named contact and a daily written update. Calls happen in your time, and there is a large India–UK working-day overlap.

Will I own the code and IP?

Yes — 100%, in your own repository from the first commit, with milestone payments and no lock-in. We use standard stacks and your accounts so you can leave whenever you choose.

Is my data safe and GDPR-compliant?

We sign a mutual NDA and DPA before any access, work on least-privilege, and keep data on your infrastructure. We build GDPR-aware from the start — see our guidance on using a development team outside the UK.

How do we start?

A free 20–30 minute scoping call in your timezone with the engineer who would lead the work, then a fixed scope, milestones and price within days.
