About us

We’re an independent North East-based IT consultancy, specialising in building the backend code that make websites, applications and infrastructure do something useful.

We live and work here, and want to see the area succeed and flourish and our local economy grow. We understand the challenges the area faces and the opportunities and huge potential it still holds. We’re focused on being local-first to bring our extensive national experience - but without the expensive national prices - and we want to work with you.

Our mission is to provide tailored solutions that enhance the performance, security, and scalability of your website or application. We believe that a well written and tested backend is essential for any product to function as intended, and we’re dedicated to developing systems that enable your business to effectively forget about how it works, and to let you focus on what you do best.

We’re experienced across many sectors and have delivered solutions for ISPs, industrial manufacturers, retailers, recruitment agencies, hospitality, builders; from startups to SMEs to corporate groups and local authorities. This diversity of experience has taught us not just technical skills, but also how to listen and adapt to what each client truly needs. We approach every project with the goal of finding practical and effective solutions that fit your specific situation.

Our values

Integrity
There’s no high pressure sales - and as you’d expect from northerners, we’ll always give you an honest and straightforward answer.

Dependability
Building lasting partnerships with clients is as important to our success as our work is to yours, and we’ll always offer on-going support.

Quality
We commit to delivering the highest standard work every time, fully unit tested with reproducible builds.

Craftsmanship
We’re experts in “traditional” development: we don’t use AI tools. Whilst they appear magical, the use of LLMs for writing production code results in bugs, customer dissatisfaction and potentially lost sales.

Automation
It is said that “A good programmer is a lazy programmer”. We’re experts in the CI/CD discipline and automate as many of our routine tasks as possible to produce reliably high quality results.

Ethical
As far as possible, we minimise the use of closed-source or American-owned services, toolchains, libraries and frameworks.

The website

This website was built entirely by the humans (and feline) at WebDevOps, and powered by Statamic CMS - a fantastic CMS built on top of PHP and Laravel, so we’re absolutely at home!

We’re experts in building and customising sites using Statamic. If you’re migrating away from WordPress, or you need a site building from scratch - why not drop us an email and let’s have a chat?
