What we make

Two things, done carefully.

We would rather keep a short catalogue that works than a long one that mostly doesn't. Everything here is our own product — designed, built, released and maintained in-house.

Wix add-ons

Small, focused applications for Wix sites that do one job properly instead of ten jobs adequately. Installed from the Wix App Market, configured in minutes, and kept working as the platform changes.

Wix App MarketSelf-serve setup

Android games

Strategy and simulation games for phones — the kind you can pick up for ten minutes or lose an evening to. Built with Flutter against our own game servers, so the world keeps running whether the app is open or not.

What we're building.

An honest list — what is out, what is nearly out, and what is still on the bench.

Bakehouse Collect

Free plan

Collection times for Wix Stores — something Wix itself cannot do. Customers pick a day and a slot at checkout; you get tomorrow's baking added up, boxes that track their own contents, a counter till and allergen checks. See what it does at bakehousecollect.co.uk.

Wix App MarketFree plan

Packhouse Build

Free trial

Let customers build their own box or hamper and fill it themselves. Most bundle apps decide what goes in the bundle; this one hands that to the customer — pick a size, dress it, fill it from the shop’s own products. It reaches the basket as one line, and the order as a list of what is inside. More about it below.

New Horizons Developments

In beta

A UK property development strategy game. Buy land, choose what to build on it, manage contractors and site problems, and sell into a market that moves whether you are playing or not. More about it below.

ACTUAL APP · WIX STORES

Bakehouse Collect

Let customers choose when they collect. Then know what to bake.

Wix cannot let your customers pick a collection time. So small food businesses put a note in the order comments and hope, or keep a paper diary by the till — and on a busy weekend somebody turns up for a cake nobody has made.

Bakehouse Collect adds collection times to your Wix checkout, works out what you need to make each morning, and keeps your boxes honest about the stock inside them. Collection times are free; the kitchen tools, the counter till and the allergen checks are from £19.97 a month.

The product check listing allergen findings, including one where the
                  spreadsheet marks Gluten but the website never declares it, with the
                  corrected allergen line proposed beside it.
It reads your product pages the way an inspector would — and says which one is wrong.
Packhouse Build

Let the customer fill the box. Pack exactly what they chose.

Most bundle apps decide what goes in the bundle. Packhouse Build hands that to the shopper: they pick a size, dress it with a ribbon or a card, fill it from the shop’s own products and write a message.

It reaches the basket as one line at one price — a box, not a list of twelve things — and the order lists exactly what is inside, so whoever packs it never has to ask. The shelf keeps up in both directions: contents come off when a box sells and go back on if the order is cancelled.

Sold to florists, hamper makers, roasters and bakers, and deliberately asking for less of a shop than most apps in its category — it does not rewrite products, change the checkout or touch the customer list.

Boxes begun against boxes bought over thirty days, and what sold
                    beneath it with every box opened into its contents, counted under
                    Coffee, Preserves, Chocolate and Hampers.
The builder on a phone part way through: an offer to swap to a
                    larger box, filters by category, and coffees with photographs
                    and a stepper on each.
The customer fills the box. The shop gets it opened into what was in it.

ACTUAL APP · WIX STORES

New Horizons Developments the builder

Buy the land. Build the houses. Sell them for more than they cost.

A UK property development game about the decisions, not the clicking. You run a housebuilder: you buy plots, choose what goes on them, pick the firms who do the work, and price each finished house into a market that does not care what you paid.

  • Land is the whole game. Parcels come up across English regions and there is never enough money for all of them. Buy in one place and you know it well; spread out and no single slump can take you with it.
  • Cheap builders cost more. Every firm has a price and a defect rate. The cheap one finishes sooner and leaves you damp, cracked render or doors that catch — and a buyer standing in the hall who can see it.
  • Things go wrong on site. An unrecorded drain under the footings, a stolen generator, a neighbour objecting to the roofline. Pay to clear it or take the delay — and the delay is never free, because the money you borrowed is still costing you.
  • Price it wrong and nobody comes. Buyers have budgets and tastes, and they walk away from an overpriced house rather than haggling. Every offer shows what you would actually make, after what the house has cost you while it stood empty.

The world runs on its own clock, so land is released, buyers arrive and costs accrue whether the app is open or not. There is nothing to grind and nothing to wait out with a payment.

The Sales screen: listed houses with buyer offers, each showing the
                      profit it would make and how long the buyer will wait.
The Portfolio screen: projected profit across the whole company,
                      broken down by region with builds, listings and sales.

ACTUAL GAMEPLAY · ANDROID

Coming soon

One more, being tested.

Built and running privately. It will not be listed until it has been through a real shop’s checkout rather than a demonstration, which is the bar Packhouse Build cleared before it went out.

Quotehouse

In testing

Request a quote, accept it online, get paid. Shoppers ask for a price instead of buying; the shop prices the request and sends a quote the customer accepts on the web, which becomes an invoice they can pay — deposits and staged payments included. Works with or without Wix Stores.

Progress, as it happens, is in the devlog.

How we work

Small studio, short distance.

01 / RELEASE

Ship small, ship often

Updates go out in days, not quarters. A fix you report on Monday is usually in a release that week rather than on a roadmap.

02 / SUPPORT

Answered by the builder

There is no support tier between you and the person who wrote the code. Enquiries come straight to us and are answered by someone who can actually change the thing you are asking about.

03 / DATA

We collect as little as we can

No advertising SDKs, no third-party analytics, and nothing sold on. Even our fonts are served from our own machines. What we store is set out plainly in our privacy policy.

Contact

Support or enquiry.

Problem with one of our apps, a question before you install, or a business enquiry — it all arrives in the same inbox and we answer it ourselves.

Response time
Usually within two working days.
Reporting a bug?
Tell us the device, the app version and what you were doing. It roughly halves the time to a fix.
Deleting your account
You can do it in the app, or request it here.

We use what you send here only to answer you. See the privacy policy.
