An independent studio that takes software personally
nebway is founder-led. The person you first speak to is the person who designs and builds your software, from the first workshop to years after launch.
Enterprise experience, built for your business
nebway was founded in 2017 to deliver software development for larger organisations, from global retailers to fintech and manufacturing. Working inside so many businesses, the same thing kept coming up: good teams held back by software that didn't fit how they worked.
Now nebway brings that experience directly to businesses that need software built around them: web applications, internal tools and integrations for companies across the UK, designed to work alongside the tools they already use.
The name comes from nebula, Latin for cloud, a nod to the cloud-based systems behind much of what we build.
Stephen Ritchie, founder
Stephen has spent more than 25 years designing and building software, leading development teams and setting the technical direction of business-critical systems for organisations large and small. Projects include high-volume online retail platforms, a B2B e-commerce site used across Europe and the Americas, mortgage-application integrations for a fintech, and race telemetry analysis for a Formula 1 team.
Working with a founder-led studio means no account managers and no hand-offs. The person who understands your problem is the person solving it, and the person you'll call if anything needs changing later.
When a project needs specialist skills, such as illustration or penetration testing, nebway brings in trusted specialists it has worked with before, and you'll always know who's involved.
How we work with clients
