Every project starts with a free working prototype in 5–10 working days, then a two-week discovery from £3,000 (about AED 14,600).

How it works
from Dubai & the UAE.
Time zones, contact and contracts, set out plainly.
Your afternoon, our working day
The UAE is on UTC+4 all year: three hours ahead of London in British Summer Time, four in winter. Our 09:00–18:00 UK day is 12:00–21:00 or 13:00–22:00 in Dubai, so calls and demos fit your afternoon, Monday to Friday.
Run from London
We don't have a UAE office: Dubai and UAE clients work with our London headquarters remotely, with the same senior team from kickoff to handover.
You own it
An NDA on day one, the repository in your name from the first commit, and full ownership of code, designs and IP on payment.
