Software development company in Islington for start-ups, studios, agencies and independents

No, SpiderHunts has no office in Islington, at Old Street or anywhere nearby, and no one on the team is based in the borough. The engineers work from Lahore. Our registered office, 182-184 High Street N, Office 14607, London E6 2JA, is used for company records only and nobody works there. Every meeting takes place on video, scheduled within your working hours.

With SpiderHunts, an MVP or internal tool costs £8,000 to £20,000, a business web application £20,000 to £45,000, and a SaaS product starts from £30,000. Cross-platform mobile apps are £15,000 to £35,000. Studios based in Islington set their own rates, so compare like for like: ask every supplier for a written quote that states scope and exclusions.

Yes, we can provide the engineering behind an agency's client work. The agency keeps the client relationship and the designs; we build the web application or app from its files, join its calls by video, and follow its process. Code is handed to the agency or its client at the end. Contract terms on confidentiality and ownership are agreed in writing first.

Yes, we build first versions of SaaS products for founders. A deliberately narrow MVP costs £8,000 to £20,000; a fuller SaaS product with subscriptions, roles and an admin console starts at £30,000. We help you cut the scope to what customers will pay for first. You own the code on full payment, which keeps investor due diligence simple.

No, we are a software company and do not provide managed IT support. There is no help desk, no device, network or server maintenance, no hardware or cabling, no Microsoft 365 administration and no on-site visits. We build software: SaaS, custom systems, web and mobile apps, AI tools, integrations and websites. For office IT, a dedicated IT support provider is the right choice.

Yes, practice software is a good fit for us. A typical build splits each project into work stages with agreed fees, pulls hours from your timesheet app, and shows partners fee spent against fee earned, plus upcoming resourcing. It can connect to Xero for invoicing. Most practices start with a focused tool in the £8,000 to £20,000 range.

Yes, we build direct ordering and table booking systems that the restaurant owns. Typical features include collection orders, bookings with deposits, a kitchen display, links to your accounts software and a simple loyalty scheme. Running your own channel alongside delivery platforms gives you the customer relationship and the data. A WordPress site for the restaurant costs £3,000 to £12,000.

Yes, we build case management, volunteer scheduling, donor CRM and funder reporting tools for charities. Access is limited by role, records carry an audit trail, and systems are built to support UK GDPR requirements. We usually recommend extending the tools you already have before building something new, because that keeps costs down and protects your existing records.

We add practical, supervised AI to products and offices. Examples include AI features inside a SaaS product, searching a studio's past project files, summarising long documents, triaging support tickets, and AI agents that draft first versions of routine work with every step logged. A person approves anything that matters. We will also tell you when AI is the wrong tool.

Yes, we build iPhone and Android apps. A cross-platform app from one React Native codebase costs £15,000 to £35,000, a native app with complex integrations £25,000 to £60,000, and a marketplace or enterprise app £50,000 to £100,000+. We can build from your designer's Figma files. App store accounts are opened in your name so the app stays yours.

You own the code once the project is paid in full, under the terms of the contract, and it lives in a repository you control. We build to support UK GDPR requirements with role-based access, audit logs and retention rules, and a written data processing agreement covers any personal data we handle for you. Controller decisions and privacy notices remain with you.

Judge them on things you can check. Look for independent reviews (SpiderHunts is rated 4.6 on Clutch), a written quote that lists scope and exclusions, contract terms giving you the code, and a reference you can speak to. Ask who will write the code and where they work, and how meetings run. Our free consultation is a chance to test us the same way.
