About Probeck

Technology should make running a business easier.

Probeck designs and develops apps, websites and supporting digital services around the work a business needs to do. The starting point is the problem, the people it affects and what a useful result would look like.

How Probeck works

Start with the problem, not a predetermined product.

  1. 01

    Understand first.

    Look at the people, process and outcome before deciding what to build.

  2. 02

    Choose the right technology.

    Consider existing tools and smaller improvements as well as bespoke development.

  3. 03

    Explain the scope and price.

    Make responsibilities, trade-offs, costs and the route to launch understandable.

  4. 04

    Build for life after launch.

    Plan maintainability, hosting and support as part of the project.
