IT company · Software & systems
Built for now. Ready for then.
Now&Then designs and engineers thoughtful software, reliable digital systems and practical technology solutions — connecting what works today with what comes next.
02 — Who we are
Software that respects the past and plans for the future.
Every organisation carries history in its systems — and ambitions that those systems must grow into. We help bridge the two: careful engineering, honest communication and solutions sized to the real problem, not the trend of the moment.
03 — Areas of expertise
- 01
Custom software
Purpose-built applications shaped around how your organisation actually works.
- 02
Web platforms
Fast, accessible web applications and digital products for customers and teams.
- 03
Cloud & modernization
Moving existing systems onto dependable, observable infrastructure.
- 04
Automation & integration
Connecting tools and removing repetitive manual steps between them.
- 05
Product design & UX
Research-led interfaces that make complex work feel straightforward.
04 — Custom software
Made to fit, not forced to fit.
Off-the-shelf tools rarely match a unique process. We build bespoke applications — from internal tools to customer-facing systems — with maintainable architecture and clear documentation.
- → Requirements and domain modelling
- → Back-end services and APIs
- → Testing, documentation and handover
05 — Web applications & platforms
Digital platforms people actually enjoy using.
Performance
Fast first loads and responsive interactions on real-world devices and networks.
Accessibility
Semantic structure, keyboard support and readable contrast from the start.
Scalability
Architectures that grow with usage without needing a full rewrite.
06 — Cloud & modernization
Modernize in steps, not leaps.
We assess existing infrastructure, plan incremental migrations and introduce automation, infrastructure-as-code and monitoring — reducing risk while systems keep running.
07 — Automation & integration
Let systems talk, so people don't have to copy-paste.
- 1Map the data and handoffs between your tools
- 2Design reliable integrations with clear error handling
- 3Automate repetitive steps and keep a human in the loop where it matters
08 — Product design & UX
Design that starts with the person on the other side.
Research, information architecture, wireframes, prototypes and design systems — produced alongside engineering so what's designed can be built well.
09 — Delivery process
From discovery to continuous improvement.
- Step 01
Discover
We listen first: goals, constraints, users and the systems already in place.
- Step 02
Define
Scope, priorities and a technical approach agreed in writing before build begins.
- Step 03
Design
Flows, prototypes and architecture reviewed together and refined early.
- Step 04
Build
Short iterations with working software you can see and test regularly.
- Step 05
Launch
Careful release planning, documentation and handover to your team.
- Step 06
Improve
Ongoing measurement, maintenance and evolution as needs change.
10 — Engineering principles
Quality is a habit, not a phase.
- Clarity over cleverness
- Readable code and plain-language decisions that others can maintain.
- Tested by default
- Automated tests and code review are part of the work, not an extra.
- Secure foundations
- Least-privilege access, dependency hygiene and careful handling of data.
- Accessible to everyone
- Interfaces designed with recognised accessibility guidelines in mind.
- Observable systems
- Logging, monitoring and alerting so issues are noticed and understood.
- Honest estimates
- Transparent trade-offs and timelines, revisited openly when things change.
11 — Potential project types
What we could build together.
The examples below are illustrative only — they describe typical kinds of work, not real client projects.
Operations portal
An internal web tool replacing spreadsheets for scheduling, approvals and reporting.
Legacy migration
Moving an ageing on-premise application to managed cloud services in stages.
Integration hub
A service that keeps CRM, billing and support tools in sync automatically.
Customer platform
A self-service web application with accounts, dashboards and notifications.
12 — Questions
Frequently asked.
- What kinds of projects does Now&Then take on?
- Custom software, web applications, cloud infrastructure work, systems integration, workflow automation, UI/UX design, and ongoing maintenance of digital products.
- Can you work with our existing systems?
- Yes. Much of our work involves understanding current tools and code, then improving, extending or integrating them rather than starting over.
- How does a project usually begin?
- With a discovery conversation about your goals and constraints, followed by a written proposal describing scope, approach and next steps.
- Do you support software after launch?
- Yes. We offer maintenance and technical support arrangements covering updates, monitoring, fixes and gradual improvements.
- Who owns the code you write?
- Ownership and licensing terms are agreed in each project contract before work begins, so expectations are clear from the start.
13 — Our stance
Technology should make tomorrow easier — without forgetting what works today.
