01 — Context
Why founders in United Kingdom hire us for full-stack developer work.
Hire a full-stack developer to own features end-to-end — database schema, API, frontend, auth, and deployment — without handoffs.
UK founders and London-based scale-ups get senior React, Next.js, Shopify, and SaaS engineering at roughly half the rate of a London senior contractor (London senior devs average £500–£800/day). Full GMT afternoon overlap and a direct line to the engineer building your product.
02 — Approach
How we work.
The fastest way to ship is when one engineer owns the slice from database to browser. We work across the stack with a strong preference for TypeScript end-to-end and opinionated choices that reduce cognitive load.
GMT/BST afternoon overlap (your afternoon is our evening) for standups, reviews, and planning. Billed in GBP via Wise or USD via Stripe. NDAs / MSAs signed before kickoff. Async-first via Slack + Linear / Notion.
03 — Deliverables
Every engagement ships with:
- Backend API (REST, tRPC, or GraphQL)
- Frontend web application
- Database schema + migrations
- Auth, billing, admin tooling
- CI/CD pipeline + deployment
- Typical stack

06 — FAQ
Questions about hiring in United Kingdom.
How does timezone work with UK clients?
We overlap with GMT/BST afternoons (your 1pm-6pm is our 6:30pm-11:30pm IST) for live standups, reviews, and pairing. Async work continues outside that window so progress never stalls overnight.
What currency and payment method do you accept from UK clients?
GBP via Wise (recommended) or USD via Stripe / direct bank transfer. Standard terms: 30% to start, 40% at milestone, 30% on delivery. UK-compliant invoicing with VAT notes where relevant.
Can you sign NDAs / MSAs with UK companies?
Yes. We sign standard UK-jurisdiction NDAs and MSAs before any code is written. IP assigns to the client on final payment.
Do you work with UK e-commerce brands on Shopify?
Yes. We build Shopify 2.0 themes and Hydrogen storefronts with multi-currency Shopify Markets (GBP / EUR / USD), Klarna / Clearpay integration, and Klaviyo flows tuned for UK retail.
Do you work with clients in India, the USA, and Australia?
Yes. I work with clients globally and have served teams across India, the USA, Australia, the UK, and Singapore. Indian clients are billed in INR; international clients are billed in USD (AUD on request).
How much does a custom SaaS or web app cost?
Custom web apps start at $10,000 for a focused MVP and scale with the feature set you choose on the quote estimator. Each additional feature (auth, payments, admin dashboard, real-time, etc.) adds $100. You get a full fixed quote before any work begins.
