Software engineering studio

Smart Way to Build Your Software

Design, engineering and cloud in one senior team. Fixed scope, working demo every two weeks.

Everything you need to ship software

Product thinking, engineering and infrastructure under one contract, with no handoffs between vendors.

Web platforms and internal tools

Customer portals, dashboards and marketplaces built for real load, messy data and auditors who want every change logged.

AI features that earn their cost

Retrieval, agents and document extraction wired into your data, with an evaluation suite before anything reaches customers.

iOS and Android apps

One React Native or Flutter codebase for both stores. Offline-first, store submission and crash reporting handled.

Cloud, DevOps and reliability

Migrations, CI pipelines that deploy in minutes, observability that pages the right person. Always in your accounts, not ours.

Product design and UX

Research, flows and a component library your engineers can build against. Design and engineering sit in the same standup.

How a Waplia build actually runs

Same four steps whether the engagement is six weeks or two years.

Honest comparison, because you are already making one

Every buyer weighs us against a traditional agency and against hiring. Here is where each option genuinely wins.

What matters when you buy a buildWapliaTypical agencyHiring in-house

Start within two weeks

Hiring a senior team in-house typically takes 3 to 6 months.

Senior engineers only, no juniors learning on your budget

Most agencies sell senior scoping, then staff delivery with juniors.

Fixed price agreed before code is written

Day-rate engagements have no ceiling by design.

You own every repo, account and credential

Some agencies hold hosting hostage. We put everything in your name.

Working demo every two weeks

Progress you can click beats progress you are told about.

Stops costing money when the build is done

A permanent team is the right call at scale. Before that, it is overhead.

Stop comparing agencies. See a real plan for your build instead.

  • 45 minutes with an engineer, not a salesperson
  • Written scope and fixed quote in two working days
  • NDA signed before the call if you want one

No obligation. If we are not the right fit, we say so on the call.

The stack we ship with

Chosen per project by fit, not fashion. Everything below is something we run in production today.

Frontend

Interfaces that stay fast at real scale.

  • Next.js
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS

Backend & APIs

Boring, reliable cores that never lose data.

  • Node.js

  • Postgres
  • Redis
  • GraphQL

Mobile

One codebase, both stores, offline-first.

  • React Native
  • Flutter
  • Swift
  • Kotlin

AI & Data

Evaluated pipelines, swappable models.

  • Claude
  • OpenAI
  • pgvector
  • Python

Cloud & DevOps

Deploys in minutes, always in your accounts.

  • AWS
  • GCP
  • Vercel
  • Docker
  • Terraform
  • GitHub Actions

Working with something not listed? Legacy stacks are a regular part of our rescue work.

Four commitments, in the contract

Agencies all promise quality. These are the specific, checkable things we put in writing instead.

The price is the price

Milestones are priced in writing before kickoff. If we misjudged the effort, that is our cost to absorb, not a change order to spring on you.

Progress you can click

A deployed, working demo every two weeks from week two onward. If a cycle ever ends without one, you will hear it from us first, with the reason and the recovery plan.

Your name on everything

Repositories, cloud accounts, domains, API keys: created in your organisation from day one. Walk away at any milestone and everything still works without us.

60-day warranty after launch

Defects found in the first 60 days of production are fixed free, at the same priority as our retainer clients. Warranty terms are written into the contract, not implied.

Questions we get on the first call

Usually within two weeks of the scope call. If we cannot staff your build properly in that window we will tell you on the call rather than hold a slot we cannot fill.

What happens after you book

Day 0

The call

45 minutes with the engineer who would lead your build. Bring the problem; slides not required. We ask the awkward technical questions early.

Day 2

The plan

A written scope in plain language: what we would build, in what order, with a fixed price per milestone. Yours to keep even if you go elsewhere.

Week 2

The first demo

If you go ahead, the first working software is deployed and clickable within two weeks of kickoff. From then on, a new demo every fortnight.

Tell us what you are building

You get a 45 minute call with the engineer who would lead the work, and a written view on scope and cost within two working days.

We call only about your enquiry.

Two or three sentences is plenty at this stage.

We reply to every enquiry. No mailing list, no sequence.
