A small team, close to the work.

We're Dan and Ben. Aelius Digital is the two of us, working from Newcastle with clients across the UK.

We've both spent years inside software teams where developers were two or three layers away from the people their work served. Briefs got watered down on the way through, opportunities got missed, and the result was always a bit less useful than it could have been. Aelius is built around fixing that, by being small enough that you're talking directly to us, and patient enough to understand your business properly before we start building.

How we work.

We get the best results when we take the time to understand your business before writing any code.

We identify the friction points in your current workflow to ensure we’re building for the right outcomes. By understanding your processes first, we create software that solves the right problems. We develop in iterative stages so you can review progress at each milestone, and we stay involved after launch to ensure the system scales with the business

A few things that run through every project.

We build it specifically for you.

Every project gets shaped around how your business actually works, the problems you have and the people who'll use what we make. The starting point is understanding what you need; the build follows from there.

Collaboration at every stage.

You'll know what's being built and why at every stage. We talk to you regularly, share work as it lands, and check in before making any decisions that change the shape of the project.

We say what we think.

If a feature won't earn its keep, or there's a simpler way to solve the problem than the one you're describing, we'll tell you.
