Application Development & Maintenance

Build. Ship.
Maintain.

We build software that does what it was meant to do — on time, to the agreed scope, and built to last, so you are not funding a rebuild in three years. Every project starts with a design we agree together, and then we ship.

A recruitment platform we built for a fast-growing fintech matched candidates at three times the previous rate, reduced time-to-hire by over 60%, and scaled the client's hiring without increasing headcount.

Our Process

How we deliver

A way of working that settles the hard decisions first and ships working software on schedule.

Requirements Analysis

We learn how your business actually works, and what your current systems can and cannot do, before anyone writes code.

Week 1–2

Design Review

We agree how it will be built and secured before building it, because the costly problems are the ones baked in at the start.

Typically 1–2 weeks

Development & Testing

Built in short stages, with testing and review at every step so problems surface early.

Week 5–12

Deployment & Support

Deployment with full documentation and ongoing maintenance support. We do not prototype indefinitely — we ship.

FAQ

Common questions

What does application development and maintenance cover?

The whole life of an application: design, build, release, and then keeping it running — dependency updates, security patching, bug fixes, and feature work after launch. Maintenance is treated as part of the product, not an afterthought.

Do you maintain applications you did not build?

Yes. We start with a codebase and infrastructure review, then agree a stabilisation plan before taking on ongoing maintenance so both sides know what state the system is in.

What technologies do you build with?

Mainly TypeScript across React, Next.js, Node.js and NestJS, with React Native for mobile and PostgreSQL for data. We also work with .NET, Java, and Python where an existing system calls for it.

How do you handle handover if we bring development in-house?

Documentation, infrastructure access, and a transition period are part of the engagement. The goal is that your team can run the system without us, which is also what makes the code reviewable while we are still involved.

How does an engagement with McDorcis start?

With a discovery call to understand the process you want changed and the constraints around it. From there we scope the work in writing — deliverables, timeline, and cost — before any build begins, so you are approving a defined piece of work rather than an open-ended retainer.
