Find Your Fit

Five businesses. Five completely different problems.

Everyone gets sold the same thing. But what a business needs at ten people is nothing like what it needs at two hundred — and paying for the wrong one is how digital projects go wrong.

The honest version

Why Getting This Right Changes Everything

The strategy that works brilliantly at one stage of growth can actively hurt you at another. Spend money on the wrong things now and you don't just waste the budget — you slow yourself down at exactly the moment you should be accelerating.

These six questions take two minutes. Answer them honestly and we'll point you straight at the stage you're actually in — not the one that sounds most flattering, and not the one with the biggest price tag attached.

Then you'll see exactly what tends to work at that stage, what tends to backfire and what to focus on next.

Or if you'd rather skip the questions, read through the five stages below and pick the one that sounds like your week. That works just as well.

Find your fit

Which one sounds like your week?

Answer what you can. There are no wrong answers here and nothing gets submitted — this runs entirely in your browser.

Just you, or a couple of you

Starting Out

You took the leap and you have customers. Running the business and building the business are both landing on you.

You'll Recognise This

  • Nobody can find you, and you suspect it is costing you work
  • The website was a job you got done, not a thing that works
  • The business lives in your head, which is a fragile place to keep it
  • One bad month would genuinely hurt

What Backfires Here

Buying a platform before you know what the business does day to day. And a stack of monthly tools you touch once a quarter.

Where We'd Start

A website that brings work in, and one tool that takes the worst job off your plate. Small, solid, and built to add to later.

Read the Starting Out Guide

A small team, under 15

Established

You built something real. Customers know you, the business runs — and somewhere along the way the growth quietly stalled.

You'll Recognise This

  • The website has become a digital ghost — it sits there, it does nothing
  • Money is slipping through gaps you cannot see
  • You have been burned by an agency before and have not forgotten it
  • You are the cork in the bottle: nothing moves without you

What Backfires Here

Another cosmetic redesign. It looks better for a month and changes nothing, because the design was never the problem.

Where We'd Start

A site that earns its place, and your first system that actually runs things — quoting, jobs and clients in one place instead of three.

15 to 50 people

Growing Fast

You have done what most businesses never manage — you have actually grown. Now the systems that got you here cannot carry you further.

You'll Recognise This

  • Your systems are held together with string and goodwill
  • You are paying skilled people to do admin
  • Work gets done twice because nobody sees the whole picture
  • The website still looks like the small business you used to be

What Backfires Here

Buying another tool to bridge the gap between two tools. Every one you add makes the joins worse, not better.

Where We'd Start

One platform instead of the chaos — the tools joined up, the admin handled, and a site that matches the size you actually are.

50 to 250 people

Scaling Seriously

Significant revenue, real complexity, and a team that depends on things working properly.

You'll Recognise This

  • You have outgrown every supplier you have ever used
  • You have been burned on a big project and it still informs every decision
  • Every department is doing things their own way
  • You are managing three relationships where you need one

What Backfires Here

Big-bang replacement projects. They stall halfway, and the business carries on running on the thing you were replacing.

Where We'd Start

Partnership-led delivery: a dedicated lead, a roadmap that evolves, and phased work scoped properly through discovery before anyone commits.

Enterprise

You have seen the agency that dazzled in the pitch and fell apart in delivery. Complexity is the whole problem.

You'll Recognise This

  • You are running on technology built for a different era
  • Most agencies cannot handle what you are actually dealing with
  • Your internal team is already at capacity
  • This is not a project, it is a transformation

What Backfires Here

Appointing a supplier who has never worked at this scale. It surfaces at integration, when changing course costs the most.

Where We'd Start

A programme, not a build: governance, legacy middleware, compliance and senior people who stay with it — delivered alongside your own teams.

The in-between

Somewhere between two of them?

That is normal, and it is usually the more useful answer. Businesses rarely sit neatly in one box — you might have the team size of one stage and the systems of the one below it. That gap is the problem worth talking about.

If two stages both sound like you, read the higher one. It costs you nothing to know what is coming, and it is easier to build something that grows into a size than to rebuild when you get there.

Not sure? That's what the call is for.

Now Is The Time

Let's Talk...

We're looking forward to hearing about your business and plans for the future.

We build for businesses at every stage — from a first tool that takes the worst job off your plate, through to an organisation-wide platform. What changes isn't the standard of the work, it's the scale of it. Tell us roughly where you are and we'll come back with what actually makes sense at that size, not a menu.

Where are you right now?
