Bespoke software development

Designed to transform your business

Every organisation we work with is different. That’s why we offer bespoke software development services. But we’ll never charge you for reinventing the wheel – we always use established open source software as the foundation.

Full Fat Things is a bespoke software consultancy. We create digital applications that address both your organisational goals and users’ needs, with the aim of letting you maximise the potential of your products and respond quickly to internal and external changes.

Before we write a single line of code, our experienced team of senior developers work with new customers to understand what each stakeholder needs and what existing technology is already in place. That way, instead of replacing everything, we can create connective software as well as new applications that together will transform any organisation’s digital position.

We’re also happy to assess existing applications based on any of the platforms we work with, either for remediation purposes or to advise on your options for the future.

And when your project finishes, our developers don’t tick a box and pass you on to another team. Instead, the same team are always here if you need us – for support, hosting and further bespoke development work.

Bespoke software consultancy

When we work with you, we consider ourselves part of the team. We like to understand exactly what you need, what your customers want and how you work. Only then do we start coding.

Our approach to development is exemplary. Every line of code is peer reviewed and everything is tested before being released. Ultimately, we take huge pride in what we build for you and we want you to take pride in running it. That’s what floats our boat.

Drupal development

Full Fat Things is a diverse team of very experienced developers who are passionate about all things Drupal and about user experience. We transform businesses with the software and apps we develop.

After an app is live, we care just as much about how it can be developed further to bring more value to your company, and how it is maintained and hosted. If moving forward requires migration to the latest version of Drupal, we can do that too and help you future-proof your investment.

Ruby on Rails development

Like Drupal, Ruby on Rails is a web application framework, not just a language. We love Ruby on Rails because it lets us focus on business outcomes and not on coding solutions. We also love the speed at which it lets us do feature-focussed development.

Ruby on Rails has a great pedigree, having been used by many Internet giants including Twitter, Shopify, Airbnb, Basecamp and GitHub. This benefits you, as we can make use of lots of solutions – including vital security ones – that have already been thoroughly tested.

Platforms

No platform is perfect for every application. So when we work with you to understand and map out your requirements, we’ll also recommend which platforms we believe are best suited to your needs, based on your ambitions and existing setup.

We work with a range of platforms including Ruby on Rails, Laravel, Drupal, Vue.js, React Native and Ember.js.

Application development

Our iterative approach means we'll deliver useful features that your customers love - fully tested - as soon as possible. And then we keep adding features until the project is complete.

Our experienced developers and project managers customise processes and development cycles that makes it as simple as possible for us to work together - and deliver results.
