Built for small businesses with real work to do

Software that does something useful.

Websites for small businesses, and the systems behind them that stop you doing everything by hand. We build the front people see and the awkward machinery that makes it work.

Front of house / back of house

We like software that quietly turns “we do this manually” into “that just happens now.”

Most web designers stop at the front door. We can build what customers see and the systems your business needs behind it.

FRONT OF HOUSE

The part your customer sees

Business websites, online shops, booking journeys, product pages and enquiry routes that make your business clear and easy to trust.

  • Websites
  • E-commerce
  • Booking and enquiry flows
  • Customer-facing portals

BACK OF HOUSE

The part that stops eating your evenings

Quoting, orders, stock, approvals, admin, dashboards and automation built around the way the business actually works.

  • Quotes and job tracking
  • Order and stock systems
  • Approvals and proofing
  • Automation and internal tools

Proof, not promises

We don’t just build it. We run a business on it.

Cadarn Slate Crafts is our own live e-commerce and production business. Real customers use the front end, and we live with the machinery behind it every day.

One order, all the way through.

A personalised order touches the website, proofing, approval, production and fulfilment. That is exactly the kind of joined-up problem Wonky Drake is built to solve.

The website is the door, not the ceiling

Start with the thing you need now. We can deal with the annoying bit later.

You do not need a grand digital roadmap. Plenty of businesses start with a website and discover the next useful thing once the business grows.

1You need a website

We make the business clear, credible and easy to contact.

2Work starts piling up

Quotes, bookings, certificates, job sheets, stock or approvals start eating time.

3We build the awkward bit too

Only if it genuinely helps. If you do not need custom software, we will tell you.

Range without the circus

We can build further than a normal business website.

That matters when your project grows into something more ambitious, interactive or technically odd.

FootGolf Rivals World Tour

We are building a full 3D browser game with custom player systems, animation, progression, scoring, environments and UI. It is not the main thing we sell here. It is proof that when a business project needs something technically unusual, we are comfortable leaving template territory.

How working with us goes

Small enough to care. Technical enough to build the awkward stuff.

No specification required. Start with the problem in ordinary language.

Tell us the problem

What is frustrating you, slowing you down or stopping customers doing what they need to do?

We tell you what you actually need

Sometimes that is custom software. Sometimes it is not. We would rather solve the problem than inflate the job.

We build it in sensible stages

Get the useful core working, then improve it from real use instead of disappearing into a giant specification.

No polished brief required

Tell us the messy version. We’ll work out what the software should be.

A website, an awkward process, a half-formed idea, or something you wish happened automatically. Start there.
