Question 1

Who does Precode work with?

Accepted Answer

Product teams at scale-ups and enterprises who need senior design and build capacity they can't hire fast enough, and funded startups who need to ship faster than hiring allows.

Question 2

What industries does Precode work in?

Accepted Answer

AI, automotive, B2B and enterprise software, ecommerce and retail, education, energy, fintech, food and beverage, healthcare, insurance, logistics, mapping and mobility, media and entertainment, professional services, property tech, startups and VC, technology, travel and web3.

Question 3

Do you work in fintech?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We've designed and built fintech products and we're good at making dense, regulated functionality feel simple — for example fast VAT refund flows and lending platforms.

Question 4

Is Precode right for startups?

Accepted Answer

Yes — particularly funded startups (Series A or later, or with budget in place) who need to validate, design or build fast. Fintech startups in particular tend to be a strong fit.

Question 5

Is Precode right for enterprises?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The founders have worked on products for enterprises like Ocado, Jaguar Land Rover, BBC and Aviva, and we understand procurement, security questions and governance — delivered at startup speed.

Question 6

Do you work in healthcare?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Healthcare is one of our sectors, including work with Induction Healthcare, and we handle the regulated, complex-made-simple challenges these products bring.

Question 7

Who is your ideal client?

Accepted Answer

A product team at a company with £5M+ revenue or Series B+ funding, with developers but a design bottleneck, who values speed and certainty over process and committees — usually led by a Head of Product, VP Product or CPO.

Question 8

Do you work in ecommerce and retail?

Accepted Answer

Yes — including work for Ocado, Co-op, Big Motoring World and Asahi. Clutch has recognised us as a top user experience company for retail.

Question 9

Do you work with pre-funding startups?

Accepted Answer

Generally no. If there's no budget or development plan, we're probably not the right fit yet. The 1-Day Sprint can still be a low-cost way to get focused help.

Question 10

Do you work in automotive?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The founders have worked on automotive products including Jaguar Land Rover, Audi and BMW, and we've delivered automotive UX work such as Big Motoring World.

Question 11

I'm a founder with just an idea — can you help?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you're funded or have budget. We regularly take founders from little more than an idea to something real and deployable inside a sprint — useful before a raise, a pitch or a launch.

Question 12

Do you work in SaaS and B2B software?

Accepted Answer

Yes — SaaS and B2B software is a core area, from validating new tools to building deployed products with billing and dashboards.

Question 13

Do you work in web3 or crypto?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Matt has led design on exchanges, wallets and DEXs, and we've designed gateways into ecosystems like Solana.

Question 14

I'm a Head of Product with a full roadmap — how can you help?

Accepted Answer

We're burst capacity — senior, not junior. We run a new initiative as a parallel track so your roadmap doesn't stall and you don't pull engineers off their work.

Question 15

I'm a CTO — what do you offer me?

Accepted Answer

Two things: clear, build-ready specs so your team builds the right thing first time, or a deployed build without pulling your engineers. Either way it's senior work, fixed price, code you own.

Question 16

Do you work in property tech?

Accepted Answer

Yes — property tech is one of our sectors.

Question 17

Do you work in mapping, mobility or location-based products?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it's deep founder territory. Matt co-founded Navmii, a GPS navigation app used by 30 million+ people in 195 countries.

Question 18

I'm an innovation lead — how do you fit?

Accepted Answer

We build working proof-of-concepts in a week when internal IT would take six months — polished enough to win buy-in and budget, positioned alongside procurement and security, not around them.

Question 19

Do you work in media and entertainment?

Accepted Answer

Yes — including founder experience with the BBC, and it's one of our active sectors.

Question 20

I'm a CEO — why would I hire you?

Accepted Answer

To design and build digital products in days, not months, with senior people and high certainty of outcome — without the cost and lag of hiring.

Question 21

Do you work with non-technical founders?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We handle the design and build and explain things plainly. You don't need to be technical — that's what you're hiring us for.

Question 22

Do you work in insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes — founder experience includes Aviva and AXA, and insurance is one of our sectors.

Question 23

Who is Precode not a good fit for?

Accepted Answer

Pre-funding startups with no development plan, anyone needing extensive discovery before design, anyone who can't make decisions without committee approval, and anyone who thinks "five days" means rough sketches.

Question 24

Do you work in logistics or supply chain?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Clutch has recognised us as a top user experience company for supply chain, logistics and transport.

Question 25

What size company do you usually work with?

Accepted Answer

From funded startups up to enterprises — often UK businesses up to a few hundred people that have a digital product but no in-house design team, plus larger product teams needing extra senior capacity.

Question 26

Do you work in education or EdTech?

Accepted Answer

Yes — education is one of our sectors, and EdTech with course delivery is a typical multi-sprint build.

Question 27

Do you work with companies outside the UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The UK is our primary market, with clients also in the US, EU and Australia.

Question 28

Can you build a marketplace or two-sided platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a two-sided marketplace with multiple roles and payment flows is a typical two-sprint build.

Question 29

What's the typical buying trigger for your clients?

Accepted Answer

A new initiative that can't wait for hiring, a full roadmap with something that still needs to ship, or the need to validate before committing development resource — often around a raise, a launch, a board meeting or a competitor move.

Question 30

Can you build a SaaS product with subscription billing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SaaS with subscription billing is a typical two-sprint build; our own product ContentNow is a full SaaS with AI and Stripe billing.

Question 31

Can you build a booking or scheduling system?

Accepted Answer

Yes — booking systems with calendar sync are a typical single-sprint build.

Question 32

Do you only work with software companies?

Accepted Answer

No. We work across many sectors — retail, automotive, healthcare, fintech, media and more — wherever there's a digital product to design or build.

Question 33

Can you build a waitlist or directory platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes — waitlist platforms with viral sharing and directory platforms with search and filters are typical single-sprint builds.

Question 34

What budget do I need to work with you?

Accepted Answer

Sprint clients typically budget £10k–50k for a project. The entry point is the 1-Day Sprint at £1,500.

Question 35

Can you help if our last agency or build failed?

Accepted Answer

Yes — rescuing stalled or distressed builds is one of the most common reasons people come to us. We take it on and get it to a state you're proud to launch.

Question 36

Can you build an internal tool or admin dashboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes — admin dashboards and tools pulling from multiple APIs are typical builds, scaling from one to several sprints by complexity.

Question 37

Can you build an AI-powered product?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build custom AI/ML integrations, and we use AI in our own products — for example a multi-provider AI SaaS built in five days.

Question 38

Can you pick up an abandoned or half-finished project?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When a freelancer goes quiet or an in-house developer leaves mid-build, we pick it up and get it shipped.

Question 39

Can you redesign or modernise an existing product?

Accepted Answer

Yes — re-energising a working but dated product is one of our most common engagements. We modernise without losing what works.

Question 40

Can you simplify a complex or technical product?

Accepted Answer

Yes — making dense, technical or regulated functionality feel obvious is a core strength, especially in fintech and healthcare.
