GCH Technology
Digital product, software and design agency.
We're a passionate team of designers, engineers and marketers building digital experiences that lead their field and reward the people using them.
Strategy, design, build and marketing sit under one roof, so the work stays joined up from the first sketch to the version that's still getting better a year after launch.

Getting it in front of people
What we do
Everything between the idea and the people using it.
Agencies usually make you hire three of them. We'd rather do the whole thing and be accountable for how it turns out.
Mobile & web apps
Apps people can pick up without a tutorial. We handle the design, the build, the app store submissions and the unglamorous bits underneath.
- iOS
- Android
- Web apps
- Backends
Branding
The name, the logo, the colours, the way you sound in writing. A brand that holds together whether someone meets it on a phone screen or a van door.
- Identity
- Design systems
- Guidelines
- Print & packaging
Marketing
Building it is half the job. We handle the search, the campaigns and the measurement that turn a launch into something people find.
- SEO
- Paid media
- Content
- Analytics
Where to start
Most people arrive here unsure what they're asking for.
That's fine, and it's the normal starting point. Find the one that sounds closest to you and send us a couple of lines.
I've got an idea
You know the problem but not the shape of the solution. We'll help you work out the smallest version worth building, and what it would take.
Tell us the ideaI've got something that isn't working
A site that's slow, an app nobody finished, a platform that's held together with tape. We'll look at it properly and tell you whether to fix it or start again.
Send it overI need to look and sound better
The business works, the presentation doesn't. New identity, new site, and a plan for getting the right people to see it.
Start the conversationHow we work
Four steps, and you see the work at every one.
-
01
Conversation
A call, no charge and no obligation. You describe the problem. We tell you honestly whether we're the right people for it.
-
02
Plan
We write down exactly what we'll build, what it costs and when it lands. Nothing starts until you've read it and agreed to it.
-
03
Build
You see designs before they're built and progress every week. No six-week silence followed by a surprise.
-
04
Launch, then keep going
We put it live, watch how people use it and keep improving. Launch day is the middle of the job, not the end.
The part people worry about
Hiring an agency is mostly a question of trust.
We can't hand you a decade of case studies. What we can do is be specific about how we work, and stick to it.
- You'll always know what it costs
- Scope and price agreed before work starts. If something changes, we tell you what it costs before we do it, not after.
- You see the work every week
- Designs before build, working software as it comes together. Problems surface while they're still cheap to fix.
- You own everything we make
- Code, designs, accounts, domains. If you ever want to take it elsewhere, you can, and we'll help you move it.
- You talk to the people building it
- No account manager relaying messages to a team you've never met.
About us
A small agency that would rather do fewer things properly.
GCH Technology exists because too much digital work gets split across too many suppliers. The developers never speak to the designers, the marketing team inherits something they can't change, and the client spends their time translating between all three.
We keep software, apps, branding and marketing under one roof so that doesn't happen. We take on a small number of projects at a time and we're honest about what we can and can't do.
We also build our own products. It's the fastest way to stay sharp about what actually works, and it means we've made our own mistakes rather than only yours.
Questions
The things people ask before they email.
You shouldn't get that far without knowing. We show you designs before anything is built and working software every week, so you're approving the direction the whole way through rather than judging it at the end. If something isn't right, we'd rather hear it in week two than at launch.
It depends entirely on what you need, which is a frustrating answer, so here's a better one: tell us the problem and we'll give you a realistic range within a few days. If the number doesn't work, we'll tell you what a smaller first version would cost instead.
A brand or a marketing site is usually weeks. A working app or platform is usually months. You'll get dates in the plan before you commit, and we'd rather quote a date we can hit than the one you want to hear.
Often, yes. We'll review what exists and tell you straight whether it's worth continuing or whether restarting will be cheaper in the long run. We'll give you that answer even if it means a smaller job for us.
