WEBSITES / APPLICATIONS / INTEGRATIONS / TECHNICAL DIRECTION

Application architecture

  1. Your business workflow

    Designed for your users

  2. Application & administration

    Interfaces, access and content

  3. Reusable engineering

    Identity · Files · Email · Telemetry

Conceptual architecture, based on reviewed source. Customer workflows and operating requirements are scoped per implementation.
BUSINESS FIRST. TECHNOLOGY WITH PURPOSE.

Start with the situation

A business problem.
A better way forward.

You don’t need to arrive with a finished technical specification. Start with what you want to change.

  • Too much work happens in spreadsheets.

  • Your next product needs a technical direction.

  • Customers need a better digital experience.

  • Your systems don’t talk to each other.

  • Existing software is holding you back.

  • Your team needs engineering support.

More about the approach

Products & foundations

A considered starting point.
Room for what makes you different.

Some engineering responsibilities repeat across projects. Our reusable foundations can help address that groundwork when they fit. Your business requirements still lead the way.

Applications & operational systems

Application Foundation

Reusable engineering groundwork for applications, portals and operational systems, with identity, administration, files, email notifications and observability.

Explore the foundation

Content & commerce experiences

Digital Experience Foundation

A Payload and Next.js foundation for structured content and commerce experiences, with reusable sections and clear implementation boundaries.

Explore the foundation

Optional foundations for tailored implementation. Technology choices follow your requirements.

A direct working relationship

Founder-led.
Close to the details.

XDevLabs is founded and led by Alex Hovy. Discovery, architecture and engineering decisions stay close to the person responsible for the work.

Where a project needs additional design, engineering or other specialist skills, that collaboration is agreed around the engagement.
