why we exist
Great software shouldn't be just for big companies.
Large organisations have teams of engineers, expensive platforms and years of tooling. Most small businesses make do with spreadsheets, disconnected apps and manual admin. BNS closes that gap — giving you the same quality of software, built around how you work.
- Enterprise quality, small-business price
- Built around you, not a template
- Looked after long term, not left behind

Questions
-
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you want to do. After a free 30-minute call, you'll get a fixed price for exactly what you need — agreed before any work begins.
-
How long does it take?
A website or landing page usually takes 1–2 weeks. Booking and payments usually take 3–6 weeks. Custom software depends on scope, and we'll agree a timeline up front.
-
Can you work with what I already use?
Usually, yes — calendars, email, accounting tools and payment providers. We'll check on our first call.
-
Who owns the website and data?
You do. Everything is set up in your name, and you can take it elsewhere at any time.
-
What happens after launch?
Our care plan covers hosting, backups, security updates and support. You can also just call us when you need a change.
-
Do you still help larger organisations?
Yes. We also offer DevOps, CI/CD (Harness, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) and Power Platform consulting for larger teams.
