Technology

Our tech stack.

Opinionated, and proven on ourselves first. Everything below runs in production today, across the live products we build and operate, and this site itself. Tools chosen for requirements, not trends.

Frontend

Modern, performant interfaces that users love.

  • React

    Component-based UI library for building interactive interfaces. Our primary frontend framework.

  • Next.js

    Full-stack React framework with SSR and static generation. Our default for new builds, this site runs on it.

  • TypeScript

    Type-safe JavaScript that catches bugs before they reach production. Our default for every new JavaScript build.

  • Tailwind CSS

    Utility-first CSS framework for rapid, consistent styling without bloated stylesheets.

  • Framer Motion

    Production-ready animation library for React. Smooth, performant transitions.

Backend

Server systems that hold up under real load.

  • Node.js

    JavaScript runtime behind our real-time interpreting platform and its APIs. Fast, scalable, boring in the best way.

  • Laravel

    PHP framework for complex web applications, it powers our certified translation platform. Admin panels, workflows, business logic.

  • SQL databases

    Boring, reliable relational databases behind every platform we run. Designed per project, documented, and handed over with the code.

  • REST APIs

    Clean, documented API design for system integration and third-party connections.

Infrastructure

Reliable, secure deployment and hosting.

  • DigitalOcean

    Cloud servers we provision and manage ourselves. Our products run on infrastructure we control, not someone else's black box.

  • Nginx

    High-performance web server and reverse proxy handling SSL and routing. It's serving you this page right now.

  • Controlled releases

    Version-controlled releases with a verified deploy script and post-deploy checks. Nothing reaches production by accident, and every change is traceable.

  • Monitoring & SSL

    Uptime and certificate monitoring across every server and domain we run. Problems surface to us before they surface to users.

Tools & Services

The ecosystem that supports our work.

  • Claude & GPT

    Best-in-class language models behind our assistants and automations. Usage is billed at cost, no markup.

  • Whisper & ElevenLabs

    Speech recognition and natural voice synthesis, the voice technology behind our real-time interpreting work.

  • Git

    Every project is version-controlled from day one, and the repository is yours, not ours. Full history, full documentation, no lock-in.

  • Self-hosted forms

    Enquiry forms run through our own lightweight PHP mailer. Your leads land in your inbox, not in a third-party form service.

  • Plausible

    Privacy-friendly analytics. GDPR-compliant, no cookies, lightweight tracking.

Our approach to technology

Right tool, right job

We don't force every project into the same stack. Next.js for websites and web apps, Laravel or Node.js for heavier backends, each choice is deliberate. No WordPress, no page builders.

Battle-tested only

We don't adopt new frameworks for fun. Every tool in our stack runs right now in our own live products, we find the sharp edges on ourselves, not on you.

Future-proof

We choose technologies with strong communities, active maintenance, and long-term viability. Your project won't be built on abandoned tech.
