FAQ

Questions, answered.

What we build, who we work with, how a project runs, what it costs, and how to start.

What is Rabblepop?

+

Rabblepop is an independent software studio in London, Brighton and Dubai. We design, build and run our own products — DocuWeave, SealedIn and Keirsdad — and we build web applications, mobile apps and the internal systems businesses run on for clients: CRMs, portals, booking systems, reporting and workflow tools. Product, design, build and QA sit in one team rather than being split across suppliers.

What makes Rabblepop different from other software agencies?

+

Three things. We build and run products of our own, so we make the same decisions you will: what to build first, what to leave out, and what it costs to keep running. We take a view on the product rather than building the spec we are given. And one team covers product, design, build and QA, so there are no handovers between suppliers — which is why our projects cost less and land sooner than a traditional agency’s.

How do your own products and client projects fit together?

+

The same team and the same process. Your project has its own written plan, with scope, sequence, cost and dates agreed before any production build starts. You see your staging build every week from the first sprint, and the dates in the plan are the dates we are held to. When something changes, you get the options and the cost the same day.

Who does Rabblepop work with?

+

Small and medium businesses that need a custom platform built or an existing one replaced, and founders taking a product to market. Recent client work includes a valuation platform for a regulated property firm in the UAE, live four weeks after kick-off.

How does a project start?

+

With a half-hour call. If it is a fit, we agree a contract whose first phase is a scoping sprint: one to two weeks in which we work out what the product is, who uses it and which features come first. You receive a written plan — scope, technical approach, sequence and cost — before any production build starts.

How much does a project cost?

+

It depends on scope, which is why every project starts with a scoping sprint that gives you a written cost before production build. As a guide, our projects come in well under what a traditional agency quotes for the same scope, because nothing is handed over between suppliers and AI takes the time out of the mechanical work. Book a call and you will have a range for your situation within half an hour.

How long does a project take?

+

Weeks rather than quarters. A CRM platform for a regulated property firm went from kick-off to live in four weeks. The scoping sprint gives you a date in writing for your project.

What technologies does Rabblepop use?

+

Current versions of Next.js, React and TypeScript on the web; React Native for mobile; Postgres for data; serverless on AWS through SST, or Vercel — defined as code with separate staging and production environments. The stack is deliberately conventional so that another team could maintain it, including replacing us.

Does Rabblepop use AI?

+

Yes. Senior engineers working with AI do the mechanical parts of a build — scaffolding, integration glue, tests, documentation — in days rather than weeks, and that saving is passed on to you as cost. We also build AI into products where it takes rote work off your team, always with a person reviewing the output. Decisions about what to build stay with people.

Will I own the code?

+

Yes. The code, the infrastructure and the documentation are yours, in your own accounts and repositories from day one. Everything is built on a conventional, widely used stack with no proprietary components, so you can hand it to another team whenever you choose.

How do you protect continuity on a long project?

+

Continuity is designed in rather than promised. Everything is built so that it does not depend on any one individual: conventional technology choices, decisions documented as they are made, infrastructure defined as code, and no proprietary dependencies. If you ever needed to move the work, it would be a handover, not a rescue.

Where is Rabblepop based?

+

We work from London and Brighton, and with clients in Dubai. Rabblepop Ltd’s registered office is in Warrington. Most of the work happens remotely, with working software on a staging site every week, and we meet in person when it helps.

How do I start?

+

Book a call — half an hour, no deck, no obligation. Bring an idea, a half-built product or a business problem, and you will leave knowing what it would take and whether Rabblepop is the right team for it. Book at rabblepop.com/contact or email hello@rabblepop.com.

Half an hour on a call with our team. Bring a spec, a rough idea or a system that has stopped keeping up, and you leave with our view on what it takes and what comes first.
