INHOUSE Digital

A development team for complicated digital projects

INHOUSE Digital describes itself as the simple solution for complicated digital needs. Its pitch is aimed at clients with a very complex site to build on a tight timeline, or an app idea that others have called impossible. It says its team combines development experts, business strategists and marketing specialists, and that this mix lets it speak both code and creative.

Working alongside other agencies

A large part of its offer is capacity for other firms. Whether a client only needs some extra development support or wants a full-service digital team to take over a customer's website from brainstorm to launch, the company says it can help. It argues that working with it gives access to a wider range of technical talent than a single in-house development team, and that it will work on the platform and technology the client chooses rather than fitting the project to whatever it happens to use. For clients who are unsure what they need, it will help choose the right technology.

Services in detail

The services it lists are:

• Strategic consulting, which turns a large idea into a working plan.
• Web design and development for sites of any size.
• iOS and Android app development.
• API development and integration.
• Custom software built around a particular business challenge.
• Information architecture and UX strategy.
• SEO reporting and analytics.
• Ongoing support, including new features, guidance on search optimization and updates on digital trends.

Project examples

Its case studies show the range. For a steamship company running boat tours through a busy summer season, it built a custom content management system and a dashboard that handles the tour calendar, reservations, payments, changes and cancellations, with passenger lists and receipts in one place and a public site that puts the schedule first.

For a bank, it was brought in by an agency partner to implement a new design and recommend a new language and platform, which meant a complete rebuild with the security and scalability that sensitive customer data requires. For a regional recruitment firm that manages large numbers of job seekers and openings daily, it provides ongoing support for the job search website. The company says it works with businesses of all kinds, from local small businesses to financial institutions.
