Software Development Company in Sydney & Canberra

As a full service software development company we develop a wide range of custom software including web applications, MVPs, internal business tools, Saas (Software-as-a-service) products, two-sided marketplaces and AI Agents.

The majority of our work is custom software development for startups, however we also build custom software for established businesses, universities and Government.

Our software development team is based in Sydney and Canberra. All of our Python and React development work is done onshore in Australia. We do NOT offshore any of our coding work.

Hiring a Sydney software development company means you work with senior developers in your timezone who understand the Australian market and who you can actually hold accountable. There's no offshore handoff, no overnight lag on changes and no language barrier.

We've spent more than 10 years building custom software for Sydney startups, businesses, universities and Government, so you get a local team that has already solved the problems your project is likely to face. Unlike many other Sydney software development agencies, we do not offshore our development work.

We're a software development company in Sydney and Canberra and work with clients across both cities, including the Sydney CBD, North Sydney, Parramatta and the greater Sydney metro area.

Because our work is delivered remotely as well as in person, we also develop custom software for businesses, startups, universities and Government right across Australia.

Both terms describe what we do. We're a custom software development company, and we operate like a software development agency in that we manage your project end to end, from product design through to development, launch and ongoing support.

The key difference with Launch Lab is that we're small, senior and onshore, so you work directly with the experienced developers building your software rather than through layers of project management.

Yes. Bespoke software development is our core focus. We build custom software in Sydney that's designed around the way your business actually works, rather than forcing you into an off-the-shelf product that almost fits.

That includes customer-facing web applications, SaaS products, internal business tools, customer portals, dashboards and two-sided marketplaces for businesses and startups in Sydney and right across Australia.

The technologies we use to develop custom software include Python, React.js, GraphQL and AWS (serverless).

For marketing websites and CMS' our preference is Webflow, though we'll happily use a headless CMS like Contentful or Storyblok if it makes sense for your project.

For AI Agents and LLM integrations we use LangChain and other related tools and services.

The cost of custom software development depends on the scope of the project. A lean MVP can start from around ten thousand dollars, while custom web application development typically starts at $40,000.

Most projects run on a time and materials basis with an upfront estimate to guide the budget, and we can offer fixed-cost pricing where the specifications are well defined. Our approach is lean, which means we'll help you determine the most cost effective way to build and launch your product. Get in touch with your requirements and we'll put together a quote.

Like cost, project timelines depend on the scope. A simple MVP can be built in a few weeks, while the sweet spot for a custom web application minimum viable product is 12 - 16 weeks.

The biggest factors are the number of features, whether designs are ready, the complexity of any integrations, and how quickly feedback is provided. Thanks to AI coding agents, our experienced developers are now able to design and develop custom software faster than ever before.

Yes. We won't leave you in the trenches on your own. We're happy to manage AWS infrastructure and hosting for you as well as implementing upgrades, new features and changes to your custom software on an ongoing basis.

We've developed custom software for fintech, proptech, healthtech, edtech, legal tech, two-sided marketplaces and Saas startups.

We've also worked with Australian Universities, Government departments and established businesses.

Yes. We've worked with companies that have their own developers but either lack certain development skills or need to expand their dev team to move faster.

Whether you need a complete custom software development team or want to augment your existing team, we can help.

Yes. We're product designers as well as software developers. We can help you design and develop your custom software product from idea through to launch and beyond.

If you've already had your software designed we're happy to develop it for you based on supplied design files.

Yes. We're AI developers and our team builds custom software that leverages large language models like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. We also develop AI Agents using LangChain and AWS.

You do. Once your project is complete and paid for, you own your custom software, your code and your data outright. We don't lock clients into proprietary platforms they can never leave.

If you'd like us to continue hosting, maintaining and improving your software we're glad to, but that's your choice, not a condition of working with us.
