Premium Web Design & Product Engineering

Websites that work as hard as they look|

We design and build high-end websites, brand platforms, and digital products for clients who care about the details. And we're building the tools that come next.

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.

Plan before you build

Built for freelancers, agencies, founders, and product teams who need to scope software with evidence instead of guesswork.

  • 10-phase delivery plans with stack and API recommendations
  • Regional cost estimation and MVP-vs-full-build comparisons
  • Multiple views, from client-ready quote to detailed technical board

Software planning & scoping

Live

BuildGrade

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.

A guided 12-question discovery that turns a vague idea into a structured brief in minutes

An interactive phase board with architecture notes, dependencies, and estimates

Shareable client quotes with secure links and access codes

Education intelligence

Live

TargetGrade

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.

A single view of a learner's progress across subjects and assessments

Early flags on the gaps that matter, before they show up in a final grade

Shared plans that keep teachers, tutors, and parents working from the same page

Built with schools, not at them

Designed around the work teachers already do — reviewing, comparing, deciding, and sharing — rather than adding another dashboard to check.

  • Clear reasoning behind every flag, so staff can sanity-check it
  • Role-aware access for staff, tutors, and families
  • Built to fit existing school data, not replace it

Compliance without the ugly banner

We built GSCookie because every consent tool we tried made a well-designed site look worse. This one behaves like part of the design system.

  • Drop-in script with sensible defaults
  • Per-category control and audit-friendly consent records
  • Licensed per site, no per-visitor pricing

Consent & compliance

Live

GSCookie

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.

Consent capture that matches your design rather than overriding it

Configurable categories with a clear record of what was agreed

Built for the stacks we actually ship on

Labs

Gradespace Labs — what we are building next.

Alongside client work, we develop our own products and explore applied AI — starting with BuildGrade and TargetGrade. 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, because that is what real projects look like. It is early, and we like it that way.

We publish as we go. When there is something real to show, it will be here.

Inside Gradespace Labs

Show 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.
