Our Work
Here is what we have shipped and what is in progress. More to come.
Dinky Local Store
We helped Dinky Local Store get online. They wanted to take delivery orders from their customers while avoiding the fees and commissions associated with the big players in the space. One person, running everything themselves. We built it around how he actually works. Setup, training, and ongoing support included.

They didn't just build a great online setup for the Dinky Local Store, they also made sure I understood how to use it properly. From the initial setup to one-on-one support and training, they made the whole process easy and stress-free. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for hands-on, reliable help with getting their business online."

Viaspora
Maria wanted a website to inspire travellers and make it easy to share and book European experiences, but she didn't know where to start. We built the site around how she works, guided her through how to add her content, helped her by recommending eye-catching design elements, full SEO, provided full training, and will continue to provide ongoing support for her new business.

Not a Cog Studio stepped in and made the entire process so easy. I described what I wanted, they listened and even when they had to remake things after I changed my mind on design multiple times, they remained patient, professional and knowledgeable. They encouraged me on where to place calls to action, what my hero sections should be and how to catch the eyes of my potential customers. They explained to me about search engine optimisation, showed me how to update my blog regularly. Viaspora is really pre-launch and Not a Cog Studio have set me up in a great position to hit the ground running!"

Why Work With Us
We are a small, capable and friendly team. We focus on your needs and deliver quality results.
Focus and dedication
When we start to work with you, we focus on your business needs over everything else. We listen, then we execute. You will notice the difference.
Quality Over Output
We would rather deliver one thing that is right than five things that are rushed. Clean work, honest timelines, no filler.
We Work With You
Your vision drives the project. We bring the expertise, ask the right questions, and make sure what gets built actually reflects what you wanted.
Built to Last
We document, we explain, and we hand things over properly. You will be able to use and manage what we build, not just rely on us forever.
How We Work
No big surprises. No months without communication. Here is what working with us actually looks like.
Discovery
We start by actually understanding what you need, not just what you think you need. We ask questions, challenge assumptions, and plan properly before a line of code gets written.
Build and Iterate
We move fast but carefully. Regular check-ins, real progress, and adjustments along the way. No disappearing for months then delivering a surprise at the end.
Deliver and Hand Over
We deliver on time, walk you through everything, and make sure you are comfortable with what has been built. Clean handover, documented work, and we stay available if you need us.
Got something in mind?
Whether it is a game you have been sitting on, a tool your business needs, or just an idea you want to talk through , we are easy to reach.
