Dedicated Development Teams

A dedicated development team that works like it's yours.

Designers, engineers and QA who join your stand-ups, work in your repository and your tools, and stay with your product month after month, without the time and cost of hiring each role yourself.

How a project runs
  • Your process, your tools
  • Overlapping working hours

When it makes sense

When a dedicated team beats hiring or outsourcing.

A dedicated team fits when the work is ongoing and you want to stay close to it. These are the usual triggers.

  • 01

    Hiring is too slow

    Roles stay open for months while the roadmap waits.

  • 02

    You need several skills at once

    Design, frontend, backend and QA together, without four separate hires.

  • 03

    Your team is stretched

    Your own engineers are good but outnumbered by the work in front of them.

  • 04

    You want to stay in charge

    You'd rather direct the work yourself than hand over a fixed brief.

  • 05

    Demand goes up and down

    You need to add or reduce capacity as the roadmap changes, without layoffs or rehiring.

  • 06

    A specialist skill is missing

    Mobile, AI or a particular framework, needed for months, not years.

Hire or extend

Hiring in-house, or a dedicated team?

Both are good answers to different situations. A dedicated team gets you moving faster and keeps options open while you decide what to build in-house.

Many clients start with a dedicated team and hire in-house over time. We document everything so that transition is easy.

How we staff it

Teams shaped around the work you have.

From a single engineer joining your team to a full product squad, each set up with clear ownership and a regular rhythm.

  • 01

    Full product teams

    A product lead, designer, engineers and QA working as one unit on a product or a major area of one.

Ownership

What we build is yours. In writing.

Software you'll run for years shouldn't tie you to the people who wrote it. Once the work is paid for it's yours outright, handed over in accounts you control.

  • 01

    Code and IP

    Full ownership of the code and design files passes to you on payment. No licence fees, ever.

  • 02

    Your own accounts

    Repositories, hosting, stores and domains are handed over in your name, not kept in ours.

  • 03

    Documentation

    Setup guides, architecture notes and a record of key decisions, so any capable team can pick it up.

  • 04

    Confidentiality

    We sign an NDA before you share anything sensitive, and treat your data that way throughout.

What you can count on

What makes a remote team feel in-house.

Distance only matters when communication and quality slip. These are the habits that stop them slipping.

  • Time

    Overlapping hours

    Working hours that overlap with yours for live conversation, not just handovers.

  • Tools

    Your tools, your process

    Your Slack, your board, your repository and your rituals. Nothing new to learn.

  • Quality

    Reviewed work

    Every change reviewed and tested before it's merged, to your coding standards.

  • Continuity

    A stable team

    The same people on your product, with any change agreed in advance and handed over properly.

  • Clarity

    Written updates

    A short written update every week, so progress never depends on memory.

  • Freedom

    No lock-in

    Month to month on 15 days' notice. Your code and documentation stay with you.

Questions

The things people
ask us first.

If yours isn’t here, send it over. We reply within 1 hour, guaranteed, and you’ll get a straight answer rather than a brochure.

How is a dedicated team different from outsourcing a project?

+

With a project, you agree a scope and we deliver it. With a dedicated team, the people work inside your process on whatever your priorities are this sprint, and you direct the work day to day.

How quickly can a team start?

+

Usually within a few weeks of agreeing the plan, depending on the roles. The first fortnight is structured onboarding, ending with a first change shipped.

What working hours do you cover?

+

We're based in India and keep hours that overlap with yours, including for teams in the UK, Europe, the Middle East and the US, so there's time for live conversation every day.

Who manages the team?

+

You direct the work day to day. We handle the people side: quality, reviews, continuity and replacing anyone if needed, with notice and a proper handover.

Can we scale the team up or down?

+

Yes. Plans run month to month, and roles can be added, changed or reduced with notice as your roadmap changes.

Who owns the code the team writes?

+

You do. The team works in your repository, and ownership of the work passes to you on payment, as set out in the agreement.
