Software company
We build software for businesses, and we stay to look after it.
Biscota designs and develops web applications, internal tools and the systems behind them. We work with a small number of clients at a time, so the people you meet at the start are the people who write the code.
Services
What we do
Web applications
Customer portals, booking systems, dashboards and other software people use in a browser every day. Built to be fast, accessible and easy to change later.
Internal tools
Replacements for the spreadsheets, shared inboxes and manual steps that slow a team down. Small, focused tools that fit how your staff already work.
Integrations and back ends
APIs, data pipelines and connections between the systems you already pay for, so information is entered once and ends up where it needs to be.
Maintenance and support
Updates, monitoring, bug fixes and small improvements on a monthly arrangement. We also take over existing codebases from other teams.
Process
How a project runs
Understand the problem
We talk to the people who will use the software, look at what exists today and write down what the first version needs to do. You get a short written scope and a fixed estimate.
Build in small pieces
Work is delivered every one to two weeks to a test environment you can open and click through. You see progress early and can change direction without losing much.
Release carefully
We move data, train your team where it's needed and release in stages. Nothing goes live on a Friday afternoon.
Keep it running
Most clients stay on a support plan. If you'd rather take the work in-house, we hand over the code, documentation and access, and walk your developers through it.
About
A small company, on purpose
Biscota is a small team of developers and designers. We keep it that way so that every project gets experienced people rather than whoever happens to be free.
We prefer plain, well-tested technology over whatever is new this year. The software we write should still be easy to read and change in five years, whether we are the ones maintaining it or not.
- You own all code and designs we produce for you.
- You talk to the people doing the work, not an account manager.
- You get written estimates before work starts, and invoices that match them.
