Bespoke Software Development for UK Businesses
Bespoke CRMs, web applications, portals and integrations for UK small and mid-size businesses, scoped in writing, delivered in phases with UK working-hours overlap, and priced well below typical UK agency rates.
Bespoke software without London agency prices
UK businesses usually look at bespoke software when spreadsheets, Access databases or a stack of subscriptions can no longer keep up. Published UK guides commonly put small-business bespoke projects in the tens of thousands of pounds, which puts custom software out of reach for many SMEs that would benefit from it.
DevGlim is an offshore team that works with UK clients. We keep costs lower while keeping what UK buyers rightly expect: a written scope, phased delivery, overlap with UK working hours, UK GDPR-aware handling of personal data, and full ownership of the code.

Frequently asked questions
How much does bespoke software cost in the UK?
UK agency guides commonly quote tens of thousands of pounds for a small-business project. DevGlim custom software projects start from $1,500, priced in US dollars, with larger systems quoted per phase.
Is it safe to use an offshore developer for a UK business?
It can be, with the right safeguards: a written scope, milestone payments, code in your own accounts, a data processing agreement where personal data is involved, and regular demos.
Do you work UK hours?
Our team is based in Pakistan, a few hours ahead of the UK, so a large part of the UK working day overlaps. Meetings are scheduled in UK time.
Do you handle UK GDPR?
We design systems with data minimisation, access control and audit logs, and sign a data processing agreement where we process personal data for you. Your obligations as data controller are confirmed with your own advisers.
