Full-stack web development designed for performance and scale. Frontends that feel instant. Backends that stay calm under traffic. Architecture that does not need rebuilding at 10x.
The demo was fast. The staging site was fine. Then real users arrived and the whole thing buckled. Slow page loads, timeout errors, and a database that was never designed for concurrent traffic. Architecture problems do not announce themselves. They wait until it matters.
Technical debt compounds silently. Each shortcut from the first build makes the next feature harder to ship. Your development velocity drops month over month, and eventually a simple change requires refactoring three other systems nobody documented.
The API returns data the frontend does not need. The frontend makes twelve requests to render one page. Authentication breaks when someone sneezes. When frontend and backend are not designed together, both sides suffer.
We build web applications that perform under pressure because we treat architecture as a first-class concern from the start, not an afterthought.
See what you get →Every web development project includes the same core package. No features sold separately. No surprises on what is included.
Live environment with staging, logging, error tracking, and automated deployments.
Clean commit history, properly branched, with documentation your next developer can follow.
Every endpoint, every expected response, every auth mechanism documented with Swagger or equivalent.
Documented performance limits and benchmarks so you know exactly what your system can handle.
OWASP basics, auth implementation, data validation what we checked, what we found, what we fixed.
Bugs, edge cases, and performance issues covered. We do not hand over a zip file and disappear.
If any of these describe you, we will tell you on the first call rather than waste your time or ours.
Founder at Seconddate
Foundry 5 really impressed me with their work on my AI-powered dating app. They nailed the UI/UX, starting with core app screens and then translating that vision to the web. The React site they built is sleek and polished - exactly what I was hoping for. What I appreciated most was their thoughtful approach and how easy they were to work with. They got the job done without needing me to micromanage.
CEO at StreaksAI
Foundry 5 surpassed all expectations in delivering our web development product swiftly and flawlessly. Their speed and eye for detail, especially under tight time constraints, showcase their commitment to excellence.
CEO, Xcelsior Capital
Working with Foundry 5 has been a great experience from start to finish. They seamlessly translated our vision into a website that not only showcases our brand and operations but also enhances our online presence as an investor in natural resources. Nothing was too much for them and they always put the client first.
CEO of Ove
Working with Foundry 5 to create the Ove app has been an absolute pleasure. Their professionalism, work ethic, and willingness to always go the extra mile has really impressed me. I would recommend them to anyone.
Loom Founder
Foundry 5 have gone above and beyond to bring my vision of Loom to life. Not only this, but they continue to be an integral part of our team. They are lovely people to work with, and I recommend them to anyone looking for a software partner. Particularly for non-technical tech founders (like me!) who need to ensure that their business is in safe hands.
Chief Product Officer Gather
The team has been instrumental in driving both the design and development of Gather, pairing a proactive, highly responsive workflow with the technical depth needed to handle our platform's complexity. Their partnership continues to move the product forward in a reliable and impactful way.

We scope the project, agree a price, and stick to it. No surprise invoices. No scope creep charges. If something changes, we talk about it before it costs you anything. You get a written scope document before code starts.
For ongoing development or projects where requirements are still being discovered. You reprioritise at the start of each sprint. Pay for what gets built, adjust as you learn.
Anything else? Just book a call. We'd rather talk than write another FAQ entry.

Both. We are a full-stack team. Most web projects need frontend and backend designed together to avoid the integration problems that come from building them separately. If you only need one side, we can do that too, but we will still make sure it integrates cleanly with the other.
React and Next.js for frontends. Node.js, Laravel, or Python for backends depending on the use case. PostgreSQL for most databases. We pick tools based on what your project needs, not what we had for lunch. Every tech decision is documented with rationale.
A standard web application runs four to eight weeks. Complex platforms with multiple user roles, real-time features, or heavy integrations can take eight to twelve weeks. We scope tightly before we start, so you always know the timeline in writing before any code is written.
Yes. We start with a codebase audit, give you an honest assessment of what is worth keeping, and agree a path forward. If the existing code is solid, we build on it. If it is not, we tell you what needs to change and why. We do not bill for the audit.
Yes. We set up automated deployment pipelines, staging environments, and production infrastructure. AWS, Vercel, or whatever fits your needs. Everything is documented so your team can manage it independently if they want to.
Thirty days of post-launch support is included as standard. After that, most clients move into a sprint-based engagement for new features and maintenance. The team that built it maintains it. No context lost, no re-onboarding.
Performance is built into every web project from the start: server-side rendering, image optimisation, lazy loading, and caching. For SEO, we implement technical best practices as standard. Content strategy and keyword research sit outside our scope, but the technical foundation is always solid.
Tell us what your web application needs to handle. We will scope it honestly, build it properly, and make sure it performs.
