>_ Bubble apps. Xano backends. n8n workflows. Make & Zapier automations. Custom code where it counts.
We design, build and automate production software on low-code platforms — and write real code the moment you need it. MVPs in weeks, not quarters. No ceiling, ever.

Pick a platform, or let us choose the right mix. Every engagement is architected for scale and handed over with full ownership.
Why no-code (and when we add code)
No-code isn’t a shortcut — it’s leverage. Mature platforms handle hosting, auth and infrastructure so your budget goes into the product. And because we’re engineers first, we know exactly where to drop into real code.
| Metric | Traditional dev | NoCodeNest |
|---|---|---|
| Time to MVP | 4–9 months | 6–10 weeks |
| Typical MVP budget | £80k–£250k | £9.5k–£40k |
| Change request turnaround | Sprints | Days |
| Infrastructure to manage | Servers, CI, DevOps | Managed by platform |
| Ceiling | None | None — we add code |
Indicative ranges for a typical SaaS MVP
</> Custom plugins
Any JS library or API wrapped as a Bubble plugin.
</> Heavy compute
PDFs, data crunching and ML moved to serverless TypeScript or Python.
</> Exotic integrations
OAuth flows, SDKs and webhooks without a native connector.
</> Exit ramps
Xano APIs mean your front-end is swappable — no lock-in.
● From idea to launch
A 45-minute discovery call turns your brief into user stories, a scope you can sign off and a stack chosen for where you're going — not just where you are.
Illustrative pipeline · every project is scoped to fit
Selected work
From AI risk-scoring platforms to automations that run whole departments.
Live automation demo
A simplified version of flows we build every week. Real ones add retries, error branches and alerts — but the idea is the same: events in, busywork out.

How we work
Fixed scopes, weekly demos, no black boxes. You always know what’s shipping and why.
01 · Week 0
A free 45-minute strategy call, then a paid scoping sprint: user stories, data model, risks and a fixed quote.
02 · Week 1–2
Flows and UI in Figma, plus the architecture: which parts live in Bubble, Xano, automations or code.
03 · Week 2–8
Weekly demos on a staging environment. You see progress every Friday and can steer in real time.
04 · Parallel
Workflows for onboarding, billing and ops built alongside the app, with error handling and alerts.
05 · Week 8–10
QA, performance pass, analytics and production release. Handover docs and Loom walkthroughs.
06 · Ongoing
Optional retainer for new features, monitoring and scaling as your users grow.
Our commitments
“You’ll see working software every Friday. No status theatre, no black boxes — just a staging link and a short Loom of what changed.”
“If Bubble or Zapier isn’t the right tool for part of your product, we’ll say so — and write the TypeScript or Python that is.”
“Every account, repository and credential is yours from day one. We design ourselves out of the critical path, not into it.”
“Each automation ships with error branches, retries and an alert that tells a human exactly what failed. Nothing silently drops.”
Engagement models
Every project starts with a fixed quote after discovery. These are typical starting points.

FAQ
Can’t see yours? Email dev@nocodenest.com or book a call — we’ll give you a straight answer, even if it’s “you don’t need us”.
We build software using platforms like Bubble, Xano, n8n, Make and Zapier, which handle infrastructure so we can focus on your product. When something needs more, we write custom code. The result is real, scalable software — delivered much faster.
