01 / The reel
29 live sites. All in production.
Every screen out there is a capture of a site that’s live today — luxury storefronts, trade portals, configurators, a Middlesbrough venue. Hover a name to find it in the tunnel.
We don’t pitch platforms. We build the unsexy plumbing that keeps your business running.

02 / Skip the jargon
What we actually do, in plain English.
We build custom software for established businesses — websites, CRMs, internal tools, customer portals — designed around how your team actually works, so you sell more and waste less time.
No buzzwords. No frameworks. Just the work.
01 What we build
Custom software your business doesn’t have yet.
Websites, internal dashboards, customer portals, CRMs, quoting tools, booking systems — built from scratch around how your business actually works, not a template bent to fit.
Websites + customer portals
Custom CRMs + internal dashboards
Bespoke tools that replace spreadsheets
02 How we build it
Tailored to how your team actually runs.
We sit with your people, learn the workflow, and build the software around the real shape of the business. The tool fits the team, not the other way around — no off-the-shelf SaaS bent into something it isn’t.
Built around your real workflow
Connects the tools you already use
Owned by you — no platform lock-in
03 What changes
You sell more, run leaner, and free your team up.
The point isn’t the software. It’s what happens after: more enquiries handled, fewer hours wasted reconciling spreadsheets, your staff doing the work that actually moves the business forward.
More sales — cleaner enquiry-to-quote flow
Less admin — hours back across the team
Better data — know what is actually happening
03 / What we build
Engineering that fits the shape of your business.
Four core practices, one studio. We move between them depending on where the leverage is — usually all four end up in play.
Internal dashboards your team will actually use. Built around your real workflow, not stitched from off-the-shelf tiles.
Ops dashboards · KPI walls · Internal reporting
We wire your stack together. APIs, webhooks, queues, ETL — the connective tissue that keeps everything in sync.
ERP ↔ Shopify · CRM sync · Webhook routing
Shopify, WooCommerce, headless storefronts, feed pipelines, CRO instrumentation. We ship what your platform won’t.
Same shape for a one-week dashboard or a six-month platform build. The cadence stays — only the scope changes.

06 / FeedPulse · our flagship product
The internal tool that became a product.
FeedPulse started as one client’s product feed problem. It turned into the system we now run for retailers in five timezones — feed transformation, channel sync, performance monitoring.
01Feed transformation — clean, enrich and reshape product data for any channel.

08 / Founders
Founder-led, by design.
No account managers, no junior offshore team, no handover after the sale. Rikky and Jeff still pitch, scope and stay close to every project — supported by a small team of senior engineers based out of Teesside. If you book a call, one of the founders picks up.
Rikky Pink
Co-founder · Design & Front-end
Designs the part of the product your customers actually touch — interfaces, interactions, motion, the polish that makes the engineering visible. Twelve years moving between Figma and a codebase, with the front-end skills to ship the design instead of handing it over a wall. Started Stackpulse with Jeff in 2021 because most growing companies need senior design embedded in the build, not bolted on at the end.

Jeff Nicholls
Co-founder · Full-stack & Design
Full-stack engineer with a designer’s eye. Spent ten years building ecommerce platforms across Shopify and WooCommerce — long enough to know the difference between a working app and a great one is usually a designer who can also ship the back end. Scopes every project, owns the platform layer, and reviews every interface Rikky pushes.
