About
About Bluehouse Software
Bluehouse Software is a software development house. We design, build and maintain web platforms, mobile apps and the systems behind them, for companies that would rather have it done well than do it themselves.
We are a development house, not a product company: the software we build is yours, and our job is done when your team can run it without us — or with us, on terms that are written down.
How we work
What you can hold us to
Plain language
Proposals, estimates and status reports written so that someone who is not an engineer can read them and decide.
Small teams
Every project has a lead who is on it from the first call to the last deploy, and who you can reach.
Nothing hidden
You own the code and the accounts from day one. The repository is yours; the cloud subscription is in your name.
Built to be maintained
Documented, tested, and boring where boring is right, so that whoever comes after us can pick it up.
Process
How an engagement runs
- 1
Discovery
A short engagement to understand the problem, the people and the constraints. You get a written proposal with scope, timeline and price.
- 2
Design
Architecture and, where there is a screen, interface design, reviewed with you before anything is built.
- 3
Build
Delivered in short increments you can see and use, with automated tests and a demo at the end of each.
- 4
Run
Handover with documentation, or an ongoing support agreement if you would rather we keep it running.
