We are Djangohouse, an Edinburgh-based software development team. We help entrepreneurs and established companies from all over the UK flourish and grow through custom-built solutions that meet the needs and wants of businesses.
Our promise is to listen to you, to give you the experience that your business deserves and to deliver a working solution within time and budget. Need one now?
We provide a fast and complete service designed for small and medium-sized enterprises. Your size is your strength – it makes you agile, flexible and adaptable. You respond faster to changes in the market than large organisations and take advantage of new insights and opportunities. This is very important for us since our work is based on Agile, which is all about being collaborative, flexible and adaptive.
From software design to managed cloud hosting, our end-to-end services are based on cutting-edge technology and streamlined to help your business create exciting, efficient and commercially viable software solutions.
Did you know that a well-designed software solution can bring you a world of difference? Design is no longer a process applied only to physical objects. The understanding of design has expanded - smart, effective design is behind the success of many IT projects.
We listen to your needs and then design a solution that is reliable, easy to use and easy to augment. We work with you to transfer your business needs and wants into an idea for a piece of modern, functional software.
The next step is to turn the idea into a working product.
Have you identified some gaps between the current state of business and your goals? If so, we will help you find a software solution.
Have you ever witnessed software teams so focused on a technical solution that they lose sight of the business problem they solve? Or the teams that overthink a problem and define a technical solution that’s too complex to implement? How about the situation when a problem is being worked on and there are key people left out of the conversation?
We provide software development in a different way. We use an agile approach. Agile principles are all about being collaborative and flexible.
We partner with you to develop custom build solutions. Our work is all about adaptive planning, early delivery (weeks not months) and continuous improvement. The key is to deliver the first working piece of software at pace, establish a way to let your business benefit from it and gather feedback from users. Based on this feedback we iteratively add features, frequently releasing new working versions of software. Rapid and flexible delivery and response allows us to deliver the finished product in the fastest and most efficient way.
Let’s develop something amazing together!
Are you concerned with maintenance of your own server infrastructure? Is the cost of server hardware or administration crippling growth of your business? Shift to cloud-based hosting means that you don't need a technical team, nor expensive hardware.
Our Amazon Web Services engineers are here to help you make this move. They have a great deal of technical knowledge and practical experience which we bring to help your business. How? We will listen to your needs, build a business case for you, migrate and maintain your software through fully resilient, secure and highly available cloud based hosting. While you will be able to focus on your business.
Would you like to discuss how to use the power of Amazon Web Services to improve your business efficiency?
We build efficient software for you by making use of an extensive pool of cutting-edge technologies, including Django, hence our name “Django House”.
Want to know more about our stack? Here is a non-exclusive list of our toolbox:
Django is an open-source high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. Built by experienced developers, it takes care of the basics, so we can focus on what will make a difference - writing proprietary algorithms for your business.
Django / Python lays reliable groundwork for any web-based project and we believe that using this tool is the best way to efficiently build a business software. Of all the options we have encountered over the years, Django proved itself time and time again as the best framework to work with because it is:
Ridiculously fast
Reassuringly secure
Exceedingly scalable
In addition, we often make use of various tools which expand the functionality of Django, for example Django Rest Framework - a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs.
Python is a simple and well-structured programming language. It can be used for desktop and web apps, machine learning and many more. Python enables quick prototyping and adaptable solutions for virtually any business need, regardless of scale. That’s why it’s used for projects of any size, from small ones to huge, run by companies like Google, Facebook and Netflix.
You may wonder why? Most of all, Python is clear to read and simple to write in. This speeds up our software development without sacrificing scalability. Python gives us the tools to get the job done reliably and provide a high quality final product, both in terms of cost and hours.
If you’re looking for a custom solution that is versatile and built to scale, Python is the answer.
JavaScript is the programming language used by all modern web sites for adding dynamic behaviour, storing information and handling requests and responses on a website.
These are just a few of the attributes that make JavaScript so popular:
Simplicity
Speed
Versatility
Rich interfaces
Extended Functionality
Moreover, JavaScript has its own ecosystem of libraries and frameworks. These are just a few of popular JavaScript tools, which are incredibly useful to our front-end web designers:
Angular, a framework for architecting JavaScript applications of all sizes
jQuery, the “Write Less, Do More” JavaScript library
React, a declarative, efficient, and flexible JavaScript library for building user interfaces
The advantages of using JavaScript can be particularly beneficial for our clients. As the most commonly used programming language, JavaScript is powerful and flexible enough for us to use in a variety of situations. We can develop a desktop and mobile application or a website that meets business objectives and reaches an audience without having to compromise on design, speed or functionality. A positive user experience guarantees customer engagement and boosts not only customer loyalty and retention but also brand recognition, achieving an excellent return on IT investment.
If you are looking for a web or mobile application which makes for a great user experience JavaScript is the right choice for your project.
PostgreSQL is a major player in the Open Source database world. It is managed and maintained by an independent and amazingly active user community.
One of the many benefits of having databases run on PostgreSQL is that it works with a huge variety of data. There is also a cost, time and speed benefit.
We highly recommend PostgreSQL as it is a robust, fast and highly stable database.
Amazon Web Services is a secure cloud services platform. Don’t be frightened by the latest buzzword, the ‘cloud’. It is just a term applied to any scenario that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet.
Whether you're looking for compute power, database storage, content delivery, or other functionality, AWS has the services to help you build sophisticated applications with increased flexibility, scalability and reliability. And what's more, AWS is cost-effective because you pay only for resources you use, with no long-term contracts or up-front commitments.
If you want to empower customers (both internal and external) to access data, unleash mobility, and keep your data secure and accessible around the world, and in addition use smart IT to save costs on infrastructure, you should give AWS a chance.
Bitbucket by Atlassian is a web-based hosting solution for the professional project teams who use revision control systems. Bitbucket also have quite a few other features and provides tons of benefits for professional developers and code workers but as a simplification you can think of it as a way to backup code and share it between different people.
We believe the source code is like the crown jewels - a precious asset whose value must be protected. For us developing software without using Bitbucket is risky, like not having backups.
We also believe that the code quality is really important for overall software quality. That’s why we go one step further and hook our repository on a Continuous Integration service like Bitbucket Pipelines, which enables us to safely build, test and deploy the code. Automating testing through Continuous Integration increases the code quality.
Bitbucket and Bitbucket Pipelines are the essential part of the every-day of our developers’ practices. These tools not only help us manage changes to source code over time, but also enables us to collaborate on projects and allows us to preserve efficiency and agility as the team scales to include more developers.
We are an Edinburgh-based software development team, however, due to the coronavirus outbreak we work with clients fully remotely, so our location doesn't matter that much.
We are software builders and our purpose is to build best-in-class software solutions, however, we go beyond IT as we understand that every new software development starts with a viable business case. Therefore we listen to your needs, to what you must have or achieve to run everyday operations, to be profitable, to serve your customers effectively, and to deliver successfully on your mission. Next we help you to build the business case and only when you have one, software development starts.
Don’t think about us as another consulting company that stretches out their hours and provides a fixed service. Let us listen to you and work with you to help your business flourish and grow.
Do you have a business problem that you want to solve or maybe an idea for improvement of your business operations? Or a recurring thing that requires a lot of time and manual labour? Whether you have something simple or complicated in mind, whether you are thinking about something new or want to make an existing project great, we are here to help.
Building great software products that deliver business improvements is our passion. If you have an improvement to make, let us help you make it happen.
