Ruby on Rails Development
We’ve worked on highly available, well-trafficked Rails applications with millions in revenue going through them. We know the importance of writing clean code that is understandable and gets the job done well.
Our writing about Ruby has been featured in industry leading resources such as Ruby Weekly.
We’ve helped companies with;
- Ruby upgrades
- Ruby on Rails framework updates
- Security patching
- Adding features to projects
- Creating applications from idea to functional MVP
- Scaling projects

Website Maintenance
We don’t just do Ruby development, we actively maintain web projects across a range of platforms, such as WordPress, SquareSpace, and custom setups in a variety of languages.
Sometimes these websites can fall into disrepair, and the people who originally made them have either moved on or just don’t have the time to support your website.
We’ve been able to make pragmatic, continual improvements to websites, specifically;
- Help with content improvements
- Improve performance of the website
- Increase the accessibility of the website
- Implement SEO improvements
- Add new functionality
- Improve existing functionality
Interim CTO
We excel at solving business problems, putting in place great teams and giving them the required direction.
Working as either an interim or fractional CTO, we can help with:
- Working out the product roadmap
- Who the first technical hires should be
- Planning how the engineering culture could look
- Assisting with the hiring process (including for a full-time CTO when that makes sense)
- Putting good development practices into the business from the get-go
- Analysing the technical landscape and the current toolsets
- Turning tech talk into English when speaking to investors
- Using our network to help your business wherever we can

Technical Writing
We love writing; we have a whole section of articles dedicated to the topic.
Having written books and articles for clients and publishers, we have found ways to take incredibly technical concepts and explain them clearly in a way that makes sense to both an expert and a layperson.
In the past we have helped write;
- Technical overviews of projects for non-technical stakeholders
- API documentation
- README / Setup documentation
- Blog posts aimed at a developer audience
- Articles aimed at a general audience on technical topics
Training
Both Elaine and Toby have experience in mentoring and training developers. Helping to pass on knowledge through workshops and one-on-one sessions.
We focus on breaking down complex topics into manageable and understandable chunks, helping to give confidence to the learner.
We are happy to come prepared on a topic or work closely with the team to understand pain points and deliver something specific to where the team need help.
Some training we’ve delivered;
- Introduction to Ruby on Rails
- Git best practices
- ISO27001 preparedness
- Introduction to data protection impact assessments
Everything Else
We get excited by tech and like to makes people’s lives more comfortable with it. If there is something you think will get us excited that isn’t listed above but you think we would be a good fit, let’s chat.
