Who We Are

Engineers building software for the real world

We are an independent software engineering studio based in Cheshire. We build bespoke web applications, automated workflows, and digital products for teams that value speed, quality, and direct collaboration.

Small, focused, and senior-led

10Base was founded in 2023 with a clear remit: deliver high-calibre software engineering without the overhead, layers of management, and slow iteration cycles typical of traditional agencies.

Rather than handing projects off to junior developers or non-technical coordinators, our senior engineers work directly with you. We dive straight into your architecture, understand your commercial objectives, and build pragmatic solutions that solve real operational bottlenecks.

We embrace modern AI tooling across our engineering workflow to eliminate routine boilerplate, accelerate prototyping, and deliver working software in weeks rather than months. But tooling only goes so far — robust system architecture, dependable APIs, and clean codebases remain the foundation of everything we ship.

Alongside client consulting, we design and run our own commercial SaaS products — including SiteSigned (milestone payment protection for trade businesses) and EduWrite (collaborative classroom writing software). Building and scaling live products keeps our engineering sharp, practical, and grounded in real-world feedback.

Direct Senior Collaboration

Work directly with experienced engineers who design and write your code, eliminating miscommunication and unnecessary handoffs.

Modern Engineering

AI-assisted delivery paired with solid TypeScript, tested micro-architectures, and robust cloud infrastructure.

Clear Scopes & Ownership

Fixed milestones, transparent timelines, and 100% intellectual property ownership from day one.

Practitioners, Not Theorists

We build, launch, and operate our own software products, bringing genuine commercial and technical experience to every engagement.
