How we work

From first conversation to running software.

01

Discovery

We map the process, the people and the data, and agree scope.

Typically 1–2 weeks
02

Design

Screens and flows you can click through before we build.

Typically 1–3 weeks
03

Build

Working software on a preview link, reviewed as we go.

Typically 4–12 weeks
04

Launch

Testing on phone and desktop, data moved, go-live.

Typically 1 week
05

Support

We host, monitor and improve it after launch.

Ongoing

Timelines are typical ranges, not promises. Every plan is agreed after discovery.

Tech stack

Modern, typed and boring in the right places.

The same stack across our projects, so every system is easy to maintain.

Why Stato

A software company, not a body shop.

We run our own software

Leadform and our internal tools run in production every day. We build client work to the same standard.

You see it before it ships

Every change goes to a preview link you can click through on your phone and desktop.

Tested on real devices

We test on phone and desktop, in Chrome and Safari, before anything goes live.

Built to be handed over

Typed code, migrations with rollbacks, and documentation, so the system isn't a black box.

Our own product

We built and run Leadform.

A multi-step form builder, live at leadform.io. It's one of our case studies, and it's available to license.

FAQs

Questions we get asked.

Do you only work on lead generation?

No. Lead generation is where a lot of our own work started, but we build custom software for any business process: portals, CRMs, booking apps, invoicing and internal tools.

Do you supply developers to join our team?

No. We don't hire out developers. We take on a project, design and build it, and can run it for you afterwards.

How long does a project take?

It depends on scope. Typical timelines are on the How we work page; we agree a plan after discovery rather than promising dates up front.

Who owns the code?

It depends on the project. On a custom project, you own the code we build for you. On a build-and-licence project, Stato keeps ownership and licenses the software to you.

Where is our data hosted?

Our builds run on Vercel, Railway and Supabase. Your data is hosted in your region (UK, EU, US and more), wherever your business is based.
