We build small web apps — and we stick around to maintain them.
ad85 is a small studio that builds focused web applications and internal tools for other businesses, then looks after them for the long term. Less launch-and-leave, more quietly keeping things running.
Three things, done with care.
We deliberately keep the scope narrow. Small, useful software — and the discipline to maintain it properly.
Web applications
Focused, practical apps such as client portals, booking systems and customer dashboards — built to be simple to use and easy to change later.
Internal tools
The back-office software that quietly runs a business: admin panels, reporting, and small automations that remove repetitive manual work.
Maintenance & care
The part most studios skip. Monitoring, updates, fixes and steady improvements so what we ship keeps working long after launch.
A short, honest process.
Understand
We start by mapping the real problem and the people who'll use the thing — before any code gets written.
Build
We ship a small, solid first version quickly, then improve it in tight loops with your feedback.
Maintain
We stay on as the long-term technical owner — keeping the product secure, current and dependable.
Small, independent, and in it for the long run.
ad85 is an independent studio working with small teams and owner-run businesses who need software built and then genuinely looked after. We value clear communication, honest timelines, and relationships measured in years rather than projects.
We don't chase scale for its own sake. We'd rather do a small number of things well and be around to fix them when something breaks.

Whether it's a new tool to build or an existing one that needs a steady hand, send a short note and we'll get back to you.
