How we build software with you
Twenty years of shipping has taught us what works: understand the business first, plan lean, deliver iteratively, and stay for the long game.
From idea to shipped, without the drama
01
Understand
We start with your business, not a spec. Founders talk to founders about what actually needs to change.
02
Shape
A lean, costed plan: what to build first, what to defer, and how we prove value fast.
03
Build & ship
Iterative delivery with working software in weeks — secure, tested, production-ready.
04
Scale
We stay in for the long game: performance, growth and new features as you grow.
Most business owners choose to start a company because they have a specific passion or area of knowledge. More often than not, however, that area of knowledge doesn’t include aspects like how to design and build a successful digital product, including web/mobile apps.
That's where Make IT Simple steps in as a fully customised, bespoke software company!
Learn more about us
Discover our team, values, and what makes us different.
When a client approaches us with what they want, it's rare for us to just build and create it.
Instead, we dig deeper into what they’re trying to achieve, and bring forward some of our own creative ideas that they hadn’t thought of (within their timeframe and budget) using only the very best technology.
Our motto around here is: we have two ears and one mouth for a good reason. We take listening to our clients very seriously, but we also consider it our job to advise what could be done in order to make their project and their business even bigger and better.
Mutual success is key, and we strive to help all our clients be more efficient in their efforts.

Our process!
We have been creating custom software solutions for 20 years – but our combined experience goes well beyond that! Which means we tend to know which things work best for specific businesses.
Our company focuses on a hybrid approach of both agile and waterfall methods, using a Gannt chart to determine the length of each project and which milestones we’re looking to achieve.
Our process includes starting with a basic outline and working in two-week sprints. We have found that this is the best way for us to get things done effectively while making sure the client knows what they're getting.

Discovery & Planning
We start by understanding your business goals, challenges, and requirements through detailed consultations.
2
Design & Prototyping
Our team creates wireframes and prototypes to visualize the solution before development begins.

Development Sprints
We work in two-week sprints, delivering regular updates and maintaining constant communication.

Working with us — FAQs
How do you run a software project?
We work in agile sprints with regular demos, so you see working software early and often rather than waiting months for a big reveal. Every project starts with understanding the business problem, then a lean costed plan, then iterative delivery.
How involved do we need to be?
Enough to keep us pointed at the right outcome — typically a regular check-in and sprint demos. We do the heavy lifting on requirements and technical decisions, and bring you clear options rather than jargon.
What engagement models do you offer?
Fixed-scope projects, a retained team, embedded engineers, and co-investment or equity partnership for the right ideas. We shape the model around your stage and risk appetite.
