Software development

Software development for startups and SMEs

Magz builds web applications, APIs, integrations and MVPs that do one job well and stay easy to change. You get clean code, tests and documentation in your own repository, so the product keeps moving after launch.

When it helps

Projects we are a good fit for

We work best on focused products where speed matters and the code has to last beyond the first release.

  • You need an MVP to test with real customers before raising money or hiring.
  • Your team runs on spreadsheets and a small internal tool would save hours every week.
  • Two systems need to talk to each other and no ready made connector exists.
  • An existing app works but is hard to change, slow or poorly documented.
  • You have designs or a specification and need someone to build it properly.

What we build

From first version to a product your team can own

  • MVPs and prototypes

    The smallest version that proves the idea, built on foundations you can keep instead of throwing away.

  • Web applications

    Customer portals, dashboards and internal tools with sign in, roles and the workflows your business actually uses.

  • APIs and integrations

    Clean, documented APIs and connections to payment, CRM, finance and messaging platforms.

  • Modernisation

    Refactoring, upgrades and performance work on existing applications, one safe step at a time.

  • Testing and quality

    Automated tests, code review and continuous integration, so each release carries less risk than the last.

  • Documentation and handover

    Architecture notes, setup guides and a walkthrough, so your team or another provider can take over.

How it works

Short cycles, visible progress

  1. 01

    Scope

    We agree on the problem, the users and the smallest release worth shipping.

  2. 02

    Plan the build

    Architecture, data model and a plan split into short cycles, with a demo at the end of each.

  3. 03

    Build and review

    You see working software every cycle, test it and steer what comes next.

  4. 04

    Launch and hand over

    Deployment, monitoring and documentation, with support available after launch.

FAQ

Software development questions

Which technologies do you use?
We choose based on your team and product. Common choices are TypeScript and React for web interfaces, Node.js, Python or C# for back ends, and PostgreSQL for data. If you already have a stack, we work in it.
Who owns the code?
You do. Code lives in your repository from day one, and once the work is paid for, the contract assigns the intellectual property in what we build for you to your company. Tools we already had stay ours, and you get a permanent licence to use any that are part of your project.
Can you work with our designer or existing team?
Yes. We can build from your designs, work inside your team's process or lead the build end to end.
How long does an MVP take?
It depends on scope. We agree on the smallest useful release first, then give you a timeline before any work starts.
What happens after launch?
We can stay on for support and new features, or hand over to your team with documentation and a walkthrough.
