Government Software Development in Chester
Digital services for Chester public sector bodies, delivered against a published standard rather than a private definition of done. Public services are assessed at defined points in their life, on user research, accessibility, technology choices and the plan for running the thing afterwards — and a service that fails assessment does not proceed.
Why this comes up
The problem
The service was specified in a document, built to the specification, and nobody tested it with the people who will have to use it.
What you get
What we deliver
- User research with actual service users, including those who struggle most
- Accessibility to the standard the regulations require, tested not asserted
- Assisted digital routes for people who cannot use the online service
- Open standards and components reused rather than rebuilt each time
- Performance data published, since public services report on themselves
- A plan for running and improving the service after the project ends

Government Software Development in Chester — common questions
- What does a service assessment look at?
- Whether you understand users and their needs, whether the service works for everyone including those with access needs, whether the technology choices are sound, and whether there is a team and a plan to keep improving it. Evidence, not intention.
- Why is assisted digital required?
- Because a public service cannot exclude people who cannot use it online, and that group includes those most likely to need the service. The alternative route has to be resourced and designed, not left as a phone number nobody answers.
- Do we have to use the design system?
- Where it applies, using it is far easier to justify than departing from it. Its patterns have been tested at scale with users who find services difficult, and rebuilding a date input or an error summary means re-earning evidence that already exists.
- What happens after go-live?
- The service needs a team. Public services are not projects that finish — legislation changes, user needs shift, and a service left unmaintained degrades until it is replaced at full cost. Assessments ask about this specifically, and the answer has to be real.
- Do you work with businesses across Cheshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North West, including Chester and the surrounding Cheshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Chester businesses do you usually work with?
- Compliance-heavy systems for financial services firms, and cross-border trading setups for businesses working into Wales. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Tourism & Heritage, Retail, Professional Services and Agriculture.
- Do you cover the areas around Chester?
- Yes — we work throughout North West, including Liverpool, Manchester, Wrexham. Chester is an urban area of roughly 120,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cheshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
