About

An independent software company from Cornwall.

Whealbit builds software and keeps running it. We started out designing websites, and grew into a company that owns and operates its own products.

We began the way most studios do, building websites for local businesses. The more we built, the more we noticed the same problems repeating: spreadsheets holding teams together, commission eating into margins, software that nobody actually owned.

So we started building products of our own. Today WagePilot keeps shifts and wage bills under control for teams that do not sit at a desk, and StayBinder gives holiday-let guests everything they need from a single QR code. We design them, host them, support them and improve them every week.

We still take on client work, and we hold it to the same standard. The difference is that we know what it takes to run software long after launch, because we do it ourselves every day.

The portfolio

What we make.

All platforms

We own and operate a portfolio of SaaS platforms, in daily use by businesses across the UK. Each one started as a problem worth solving properly.

Beyond our own products, we design websites and build custom software for a small number of clients who want it built properly — held to exactly the same standard. See the client work or explore what we offer.

How we work

  • We run what we build

    Owning live products means we feel every bug and every slow page before our customers do. That pressure makes everything we ship better.

  • No surprises, ever

    Fixed quotes and honest pricing. You know the full cost before we start, and it does not change unless you ask us to add something.

  • Fast is the baseline

    Custom-coded, not templated. Our builds score 99 to 100 on Google PageSpeed because performance is a requirement, not a nice-to-have.

  • Local and accountable

    We live and work in Cornwall. You can reach the people who built your software, not a support queue three time zones away.

Giving back

Websites for charities, on the house.

We design and build websites for registered UK charities, free, and host them at no cost for the first year. If you run a good cause, the work is on us.
