Custom software and APIs, built to last

Custom software, backends, integrations and APIs that connect your systems and hold up under real use.

We build custom software, backends and APIs — public or private — for businesses whose off-the-shelf tools no longer fit. A senior UK-based team scopes the work, fixes the price, ships in weekly demos and hands over clean, documented code you own.

Who it’s for

Businesses outgrowing off-the-shelf tools, and product teams that need a backend, integration or API built properly.

02 / Capabilities

What Software & APIs covers.

01

Custom software

Internal tools, dashboards and platforms built around how your business actually runs.

02

Backends & databases

Reliable services and data models, typically on Node, TypeScript and PostgreSQL.

03

Integrations

Your existing systems connected, so data moves between them without copying and pasting.

04

Public & private APIs

Well-documented APIs for partners, customers or your own apps, with authentication handled.

05

Hosting & support

Deployed on our managed infrastructure across 18 edge regions, with a 99.99% uptime SLA.

03 / Process

No quotes theatre. Four steps.

You get an indicative range before discovery and a fixed scope after it. Nothing about the price should be a surprise.

STEP 01

Discovery

A short, fixed-price discovery to define exactly what is being built — so there are no surprises later.

STEP 02

Fixed-scope proposal

A clear proposal broken down by phase, with an indicative range up front. You approve, adjust or stage it.

STEP 03

Build in sprints

We build in short sprints with regular demos, so you see working software early — not a big reveal in month four.

STEP 04

Launch & support

We launch, hand over clean documented code, and support it — with a retained team if you want one.

04 / Why Devute

What you get that you didn’t last time.

UK-based senior team

You deal directly with the people building your product — same time zone, no quality lottery from anonymous offshore subcontractors.

Transparent pricing

Indicative ranges up front and a fixed-scope proposal after discovery. You always know what you are paying for.

One team, idea to scale

Strategy, design, build and infrastructure under one roof — one accountable team from first sketch to launch and beyond.

You own the code

All source, designs and IP transfer to you, in clean documented repositories. You are never locked in.

07 / FAQ

Questions people ask.

Ask us directly
Can you work with the systems we already have?

Yes. Most of this work is connecting or extending systems you already run, and we build on your existing stack where it makes sense.

How do you price custom software?

We start with a free audit, then give you a fixed quote with scope and timeline in writing. If the scope grows, we re-quote — we never silently bill.

Will we be locked in to Devute?

No. You own all the code and IP, handed over in clean, documented repositories, including the infrastructure definitions.

Tell us the goal. We’ll tell you the price.

A free audit, a fixed scope and a number — usually within two working days. No obligation, no sales theatre.
