What we do
Our services
We work across four areas. Clients often use more than one, for example a strategy review followed by development of the system it recommends.
Data & Cloud Applications
Applications that collect, combine and report on your data, built on AWS or Azure. This covers data pipelines, dashboards, real-time analytics and IoT.
- Custom data solutions
- Real-time analytics
- Scalable cloud architecture
Web & Product Development
Websites, online stores and web applications. We handle design, development, hosting and search engine optimisation, and build them so your own team can update them.
- Responsive design
- E-commerce integration
- SEO optimisation
IT Consulting & Strategy
Independent advice on technology strategy, infrastructure, cloud and security, from people who also build and run systems.
- Technology strategy
- Infrastructure optimisation
- Security assessments
Business Automation & Bots
Chatbots, AI assistants and automated workflows that take repetitive work off your team and connect the systems you already use.
- Custom bot solutions
- Automated customer interactions
- Integration with existing systems
How we work
How we take an idea to a product
Every project goes through the same four stages. Each stage ends with something you can review, so you can see progress and change direction early if you need to.
- 01
Discover
We start by understanding your business, your users and the constraints you work within. Together we agree the goals, the scope and how success will be measured.
- Workshops and interviews
- Requirements and priorities
- Roadmap and estimate
- 02
Design
We design the architecture and the user experience, and test the main ideas with prototypes before any production code is written.
- Solution architecture
- UX and interface design
- Clickable prototypes
- 03
Build
We build in short cycles and show you working software at the end of each one, so progress is visible throughout the project.
- Short delivery cycles
- Automated testing
- Regular demos
- 04
Launch and support
We release carefully and monitor the system once it is live. After that, we either hand over to your team with full documentation or continue to support it.
- Deployment pipelines and monitoring
- Documentation and handover
- Ongoing support

Why ILP Solutions
How we work with clients
A system is only useful if it solves the right problem and keeps working after launch. These are the principles we follow on every project.
Experienced people do the work
The people you speak to at the start are the same people who design and build your system.
We work with your team
We fit around your tools and processes and keep you informed throughout, so there are no surprises at the end.
Security from the start
Security, privacy and resilience are part of the design, rather than something added after the system is built.
Systems that can grow
We build on cloud services and test thoroughly, so a system can take on more users and data without a rewrite.
You own the work
The code, infrastructure and data are yours. There is no lock-in, and nothing is held back at handover.
Plain English
Updates, estimates and documentation are written so that non-technical stakeholders can follow them.
Ways to work with us
Engagement models
Choose the arrangement that suits your goals, timeline and budget. It can change as the project develops.
Project delivery
A defined piece of work, delivered from discovery through to launch.
Best for: New products, platforms and websites
- Agreed scope, timeline and budget
- A named delivery lead
- Full handover and documentation
Dedicated team
A team that works alongside your own staff on an ongoing basis.
Best for: Ongoing development and growing businesses
- Flexible monthly capacity
- Works within your tools and processes
- Scale up or down as needed
Advisory and audits
Independent advice before you commit time and budget to a decision.
Best for: Strategy, architecture and security reviews
- Short, fixed-length engagements
- A written findings report
- Clear recommendations for decision-makers
What kinds of organisations do you work with?
Startups testing a new product, growing businesses updating their systems, and larger organisations that need extra specialist capacity. If you have a technology problem, we are happy to talk it through.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on the scope, so we do not publish a price list. After an initial conversation we send a proposal with an itemised cost. If the budget is tight, we can split the work into phases.
How long does a typical project take?
A website proof of concept takes about a week. Larger platforms take two to five months depending on the scope, and are delivered in phases.
Can you work with our existing systems and team?
Yes. Most of our projects involve connecting to existing systems and data, and working closely with in-house staff. We adapt to the way your team already works.
Who owns the code and intellectual property?
You do. Once the work is complete and paid for, the code, designs and documentation belong to you, and your team receives everything needed to run and change them.
Do you provide support after launch?
Yes. We offer ongoing support and maintenance, or a documented handover if you would rather manage the system in-house.
Have an idea you want to turn into a product?
Tell us what you are trying to achieve. We will reply to arrange a call and give you an honest view of how we can help. There is no obligation.
