01About us
VibeCoders is a software studio. Clients hire us for an engagement — not a room of contractors, and not a tool with a chat window.
02The studio
VibeCoders is a UK software studio. We take on the build, the infrastructure under it, and looking after it once it is live. That is the whole offer. If you want a freelancer for a fortnight, or a platform that promises a finished site from a paragraph, we are the wrong door.
The last few years made it cheap to produce something that looks done. Screens, flows, even a database. What did not get cheaper is knowing whether it will still stand up when a real customer uses it, or when you add the next feature in six months. We started the studio because that gap was becoming the product.
Most of the work is for UK companies that already have a business — schools, trades, groups with more than one brand, teams who have been through a rebuild they did not enjoy. They are not buying a vibe. They are buying a job with an end, a person who will still pick up the phone, and a stack someone can explain without a deck.
We organise the work in four practices: build, infrastructure, growth and care. That is how a live product actually fails. A handsome front with nobody on DNS. A campaign on a site that cannot send mail. A launch with no one to call in week three. You hire the studio for the job, not a different person for each slice.
We are small on purpose. The person on the first call is the person who runs the job. When a brief needs a specialist — a security pass, a particular platform, a design that has to ship — we bring one in. They do not replace your lead, and we do not pretend we are a floor of departments.
The days are ordinary, which is the point. A written brief. A stack decided before the volume coding starts. A URL you can click while it is still ugly. A note of what changed. Someone who can read the code looking at the bits a customer can touch, before anyone else sees them. None of that is theatre. It is how you keep a fast build from becoming next year’s problem.
We use the same AI tools everyone else is talking about. They are useful. They are also very good at sounding sure. Platforms speed the first version up. They do not own the repository, the data model, or the two in the morning failure. That stays with us.
If that sounds like a slower sell than a demo in an afternoon, it is. We are not trying to win a click. We are trying to still be the people you call when it is live.
We would rather you know how the studio is built before you ask us to build yours.
04How a job runs
Between the first call and a live site: a written brief, a decided stack, a staging URL you can click, then a launch you are on the call for.

01
One call with the person who will run it. Then a written brief, a fee, and what is out of scope — before anyone writes code.
02
Data, auth, hosting and how the information fits. The stack is decided in the open, not discovered in week six.
03
A site you can click every week, with a note of what changed. You are not waiting for a big reveal.
04
An engineer reads the paths that can hurt. Then we go live together, hand over what you need to run it, and stay if you want care.
05Craft
We do not staff a department for every craft, and we are not a headcount page. We match the job: build, review, infra and interface — and we bring in a specialist when the brief needs one.
01
Flows and layouts that map to real components — so design does not die in the handoff.
02
The platforms set the pace. We use them inside a repository an engineer can still read.
03
Architecture, data and the bits a customer can touch. Nothing ships on a prompt alone.
04
Hosting, DNS, email and TLS — then looking after it once it is live, if you keep us on.
06Cover
Choosing a studio is a commercial decision. We take out cover on the project itself — not a poster on the wall. You see the paperwork after the deposit, before the build gets going.
01
The first 40% starts the job and the policy. We do not begin unpaid.
02
You receive the policy, the certificate and proof of payment. Keep them with the contract.
03
Work runs under that cover, with the same lead you already met.
07Terms
Both routes start with the same deposit. Flexi-Pay is there if the cash needs to stay in the business while the build ships.
Milestones
40 / 30 / 30
Forty to start, thirty when staging is signed off, thirty when it is live. You own the work when the last invoice is paid.
Flexi-Pay
12 or 24
months after the same 40% deposit
The balance is monthly. You run the live site on a licence while instalments continue. Full IPR on the last month.
Next step
A short call with the person who would run it — not a sales script.
