Who it's for

Owner-led firms with something to build, or something to fix.

Consultancies

You have an idea you want to build.

A tool your clients keep asking for, a method you could sell as software, or an internal process that eats your team's time. It has been on the list for years, or a previous attempt stalled.

Talk about your idea

Established businesses

You rely on a system nobody looks after.

The developer or agency who built it has moved on. Nobody dares change it, nobody has documented it, and it may be running on software that is out of support.

Talk about your system

Software companies

Your backlog is bigger than your team.

A new module, an integration, a mobile app or a rebuild your team never gets to. Delivered alongside your team, to your standards, and under your name if you prefer.

Talk about your roadmap

Services

Six ways to work together.

Start with the smallest step that gives you enough clarity to make the next decision properly.

Legacy system support

Your old system, looked after properly.

We take over the system your business depends on, make it safe and support it, including systems that have been running for more than 10 years.

See legacy system support

AI software assurance

You built it fast with AI. Now check it properly.

Independent engineering reviews of software built with AI coding tools, for founders who have built an app and for teams whose developers use AI.

See AI Software Assurance

Technology assessment

A Technology MOT, before you spend more.

An independent, fixed-price check of your systems, suppliers and risks, in plain English. For stalled projects: finish it, fix it or start again.

See the Technology MOT

Fractional CTO

⅛ of a CTO. You don't need the whole thing.

Senior technology leadership a few days a month, without the cost or commitment of recruiting a permanent CTO.

See fractional CTO

Zoho development

Already on Zoho? Make it work the way you do.

Custom apps, automation and integrations from a certified Zoho developer, at a fixed price.

How it works

Most advisers stop at recommendations. Most developers stop at code.

Geekwork stays with you from the first conversation to working software, and long after. One senior relationship, a fixed price at every stage, and no surprises.

01

Talk

A free session about your idea or your system. You get a written summary and a suggested next step the same day.

02

Prototype

Two to four weeks at a fixed price. You see and use a working prototype, and get a fixed price for the build.

03

Build

Delivered in phases. Each has a fixed price and agreed acceptance criteria, so everyone knows what done means.

04

Support

Hosting, fixes, improvements and a quarterly review. Most clients stay for years.

Our own products

We bottle our own ideas too.

Four ideas that started in a drawer, now built, launched and run by Geekwork. So we know what it takes to sell software, not just to write it.

Education recruitment

AdPolish

A job advert is a sales page, not a job description. AdPolish scores school job adverts in seconds and shows how to make them better.

adpolish.co.uk
Sample check Safeguarding policy: 75
  • Refers to Keeping Children Safe in Education
  • Names the Designated Safeguarding Lead
  • Clear procedure for reporting concerns
  • No review date

School policies

PolicyGuardian

The cheapest time to find a gap in a policy is before an inspector does. PolicyGuardian checks school policies against DfE guidance and shows what's missing.

CCTV redaction

SureRedact

When CCTV footage is released, one missed face is a data breach. So SureRedact's redaction is done by trained people, not software.

Why Geekwork

Commercial judgement. Technical depth. Delivery accountability.

Geekwork picks up how your business works quickly, challenges the brief and thinks about how the software will be used and sold, not just how it is built. Every project is documented as it goes, so you are never dependent on one person's memory.

See what's under the bonnet

  • Building business software since 1997
  • Commercial decisions before technical decisions
  • Strategy and delivery in one accountable relationship
  • Fixed prices, with scope and risk agreed up front
  • Direct access to the senior person doing the thinking
  • Independent of software vendors and agencies
  • Fast delivery, tested and fully documented

In fairness

Four reasons not to hire Geekwork.

we'd rather you knew now

  1. 01

    We're not the cheapest.

    But quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten. And as the price is fixed before we start, it's easier to forget.

  2. 02

    There's no account manager.

    You deal with the person doing the work. Some people find that a bit much.

  3. 03

    We'll tell you if you don't need us.

    Sometimes a spreadsheet would do. We'll say so, even when it costs us the job.

  4. 04

    We make ourselves replaceable.

    Everything is documented as we go, so you're never stuck with us. Most clients stay anyway.

Start with a conversation

Tell us what you want to build, or what needs fixing.

The first conversation is free and is simply about the problem and whether Geekwork is the right fit. Even if we never work together, you'll have a written summary and a suggested next step the same day.
