Services

Everything from the first scope document to the server it runs on.

We're a small team, so the people who scope your project are the people who build it and the people who keep it running afterwards. No hand-offs to someone who's never seen the brief.

~/web

Websites & CMS

Public sites for institutions and businesses, in English and ދިވެހި with proper right-to-left Thaana. Editors get a CMS they can use without calling us every week.

  • Next.js
  • Strapi
  • WordPress
~/workflow

Workflow & internal systems

Approvals, case tracking, document flows and back-office tools that replace the spreadsheet-and-email chain. Built by people who've worked inside banks and an insurer.

  • Role-based access
  • Audit trails
  • Reporting
~/platforms

Portals & platforms

Client portals, learning platforms, membership and management systems. Document builders, e-signatures, file management and finance modules when the job needs them.

  • Multi-tenant
  • SSO
  • SaaS
~/integrations

Integrations

Getting your systems to talk: hotel PMS, accounting, payment gateways, telephony, Google Workspace and the APIs your vendors hand over with no documentation.

  • REST
  • Webhooks
  • Sync jobs
~/infra

Hosting & infrastructure

Containerised deployments on our own hardware or yours, behind Cloudflare, with monitoring, backups and private networking set up properly from day one.

  • Docker
  • Proxmox
  • Grafana
~/scope

Discovery & scoping

Before any code: a written scope, hour estimates, phased timelines and a clear price. Tender and RFP responses that are technically honest about what it takes.

  • Fixed scope
  • Phased delivery
  • MVR pricing

Who we serve

Built for organisations that can't afford downtime or guesswork.

Most of our work is for organisations where a form going down means a queue at the counter, a guest without a booking, or a report that doesn't reach the regulator.

Government & public institutions

Bilingual public websites, learning platforms and management systems, delivered through RFPs and tenders.

Financial services

Banks, insurers and development finance. Workflow platforms, internal tools and the compliance habits that come with them.

Hospitality & travel

Resorts, DMCs and event operators. Booking and event platforms, PMS and accounting integrations, guest-facing sites.

Local businesses

Media houses, studios and growing companies that need a site, a CMS or a portal that just works.

9yrs

Our lead developer spent nine years inside Bank of Maldives, SDFC and Allied Insurance, going from IT support to senior development. That's where we learned how regulated institutions actually run, and why the boring parts (permissions, audit logs, backups) matter most.

Selected work

A couple we can show you.

Plenty of what we build sits behind a login or an NDA. These two are public.

Fast Track Handling · Hummingbird Travel

Hummingbird Events

An events platform with attendee registration and a QR sign-in module, so staff at the door scan and go instead of working down a printed list.

Farudhun.com · News media

Farudhun

A news CMS built on Laravel for a Maldivian publisher, with automated distribution that pushes each new article out to social channels as it goes live.

~ More case studies on request, where clients have agreed to it.

How we work

Four stages, and you see progress at every one.

Every project runs the same way, whether it's a five-page site or a twelve-month platform build.

  1. 01

    Scope

    We write down what's being built, what isn't, how many hours it takes and what it costs. You sign off before we start.

  2. 02

    Build

    Work happens on a staging site you can open any time. Regular demos, so nothing arrives as a surprise at the end.

  3. 03

    Launch

    Go-live, data migration, editor training and handover documents your team can actually follow.

  4. 04

    Run

    Hosting, monitoring, updates and support on a monthly retainer, so the thing keeps working long after launch.

Stack

Modern, boring in the right places.

We pick tools your next developer will recognise. For some clients that's a typed Next.js codebase; for others it's WordPress, because that's what their team can maintain.
