What we do
One studio. Two engines.
Client work is the business. Our own products are how we reinvest in it — and how we find out what is worth building next.
Studio — client work
High-end websites, built properly.
We design and build bespoke digital work for clients who care how it looks and how it performs — brand platforms, portfolio sites, client portals, custom web apps, and the systems behind them. Every project is built to the standard we would ship for ourselves.
- Bespoke website design & development
- Brand & portfolio platforms
- Client portals and custom web apps
- Booking, payments, and back-office systems
- Ongoing support and iteration
Labs — our own products
What we build for ourselves.
Alongside client work we develop our own products and free tools — and it is where we do our applied AI work. BuildGrade, TargetGrade, and GSCookie all started as internal problems. It is early, and we like it that way.
- BuildGrade — AI software planning & scoping
- TargetGrade — education intelligence
- GSCookie — consent management
- 18 free tools, no signup required

Our products
Tools we built because we needed them.
Each of these started as a problem in our own studio — scoping software, tracking outcomes, handling consent. We built them for ourselves first, then opened them up.
BuildGradeLive
Software planning & scoping
BuildGrade turns a raw app idea into a technical blueprint — phases, dependencies, data models, implementation tasks, hours, and a client-ready quote before a single line gets written.
Explore BuildGradeTargetGradeLive
Education intelligence
TargetGrade helps schools and tutors see where a student actually is — tracking performance over time, surfacing the gaps early, and turning that into a plan someone can act on this week.

Consent & compliance
A cookie consent banner that doesn't look like an afterthought. Drop-in, configurable, and built to match the sites we ship rather than fight them.

Gradespace Labs
Coming soonGradespace AI is on its way
Alongside client work, Gradespace Labs explores applied AI. We are interested in AI that shows its working, adapts to the person using it, and stays useful when the data is small and messy.
It is early, and we like it that way. We publish as we go: when there is something real to show, the waitlist hears first.
Learn more about Gradespace AIShow the working.
If a system makes a call, the person on the other end should be able to see why. We would rather ship something explainable than something clever.
Built for the specific.
Most useful AI is not trained on the whole internet — it is tuned to one school, one agency, one workflow. That is the problem we find interesting.
People first, model second.
The interesting constraint is almost never the model. It is whether someone will actually use the thing on a Tuesday afternoon.
