Independent software consultancy
Web software that is fast, accessible and built to last.
We help teams turn an idea into a dependable web app — from shaping the first version to shipping, hosting and improving it. We build and run apps of our own, so our advice comes from software that is live today.
- Six live apps
- No accounts or tracking
- Accessibility built in
Services
What we can help with
Bring us in for a focused piece of work or for the whole journey. We work in small, visible steps so you always know what is done and what is next.
-
Product strategy
Clarify the problem, the people it is for and the smallest version worth building. You get a clear scope, a clickable prototype and a realistic plan.
-
Web & PWA apps
Responsive, installable web apps that load quickly, work offline where it matters and keep data on the device unless there is a reason not to.
-
Cloud & delivery
Simple, low-cost hosting, automated builds and tests, and release pipelines on GitHub Actions and Azure — so shipping is routine, not risky.
-
AI-enabled features
Practical uses of language models, text-to-speech and speech input — designed with clear limits, sensible costs and a fallback when the model is wrong.
-
Accessibility
Audits and fixes against WCAG 2.2 AA: keyboard support, screen-reader semantics, colour contrast and reduced motion — with automated checks so it stays fixed.
-
Modernisation
Take an ageing site or app to a modern, maintainable stack in stages — improving speed, security and ease of change without a risky big-bang rewrite.
How we work
Small steps, shipped often
Every engagement follows the same simple rhythm. You see working software early and can change direction at any point.
-
Discover
A short conversation about your goals, users and constraints. We agree what success looks like and what is out of scope.
-
Shape
We turn the idea into a scoped plan and a prototype you can click through, so decisions are made on something real.
-
Build
Working software in short increments, with automated tests and a live preview you can try after every change.
-
Launch & hand over
We ship to production, document how it all fits together and hand over everything — or stay on to keep improving it.

About
We build what we recommend
Made by Favor is an independent software consultancy. We help organisations plan and build web software, and we design, build and run our own apps — for language learning, music practice, interview preparation, scripture memorisation, investing education and puzzles.
Running real products end to end keeps our skills practical. The habits we use on our own apps are the ones we bring to yours.
- Plain, proven technologyWe choose tools your team can maintain, not whatever is newest.
- Accessible and fast by defaultKeyboard support, good contrast and quick load times are part of the build, not an extra.
- Privacy firstCollect only what is needed. Our own apps have no accounts, adverts or tracking.
- Honest about trade-offsYou hear about risks, costs and simpler options early — including when not to build something.
