Software engineering for businesses that need more than off-the-shelf software.

We help businesses across Cheshire, the North West and the UK solve difficult technology problems, build bespoke software, and turn ideas into working products.

The Reality

Your software problem probably isn’t really a software problem.

Most businesses don’t start out wanting code. They run into operational bottlenecks, manual workarounds, or systems that can’t keep up with growth.

A process held together by spreadsheets and manual work.
Multiple systems that don’t talk to each other.
An ageing application that is becoming expensive or risky to maintain.
An idea for software that doesn’t fit an off-the-shelf product.
A cloud setup that has grown without a clear architecture.
A team that needs senior engineering capability without the hiring overhead.
An AI idea, but no clear route from experiment to dependable production.

How We Work

Consult. Engineer. Deliver.

We’re not an agency that simply asks for a specification and throws code back over the fence. We help shape the solution from the ground up.

01

Consult

Understand the business problem first

We don’t start with a sales pitch or a 50-page spec document. We sit down with you, look at your existing processes and systems, and identify what’s actually costing you time or money. We’ll tell you honestly what’s worth building and what we’d leave alone.

02

Engineer

Design and build the right solution

Senior engineers write your code. Using Microsoft Azure, .NET, React, and robust APIs, we design systems that are straightforward to maintain and easy to extend. Clean architecture, automated testing, and no unnecessary complexity.

03

Deliver

Put it to work with full ownership

We deploy safely into your production environment with fixed milestones and clear timelines. You own 100% of the code, data, and intellectual property from day one — zero vendor lock-in, zero monthly user hostage fees.

Have a project or a bottleneck in mind?

Tell us what you’re trying to solve. We’ll let you know if we’re the right fit.

Why 10Base

Engineering capability without the agency overhead.

Based at Spring Farm in Crewe, we work with ambitious small businesses and established SMEs across Cheshire, Manchester, Liverpool, and nationwide UK.

Business-first engineering

Technology should solve an operational bottleneck, save payroll hours or unlock revenue. We don’t build complexity for its own sake.

Senior engineers only

The people you meet are the people who design the architecture and write the code. No sales reps, no junior handoffs.

Pragmatic delivery

Fixed-price sprints, clear milestones, and honest advice. If a standard tool will do the job for less, we’ll tell you to buy it.

You own everything

You own all intellectual property, source code, and cloud infrastructure outright from day one. Zero proprietary lock-in.

Let’s talk about your project.

Have a technology problem, a manual bottleneck, or an idea for software? Tell us what you’re trying to achieve. We’ll tell you honestly if we can help.
