Xano Development in Durham
Building backends in Xano for Durham teams. It fills a specific gap in the no-code stack — a real database with an API layer behind a visual builder — which suits products whose front end is built in a no-code tool but whose data needs proper structure and rules.
Why this comes up
The problem
A no-code front end has outgrown its built-in data storage, and the logic and relationships now needed do not fit what the visual tool provides.
What you get
What we deliver
- Database designed relationally, since that is the reason to use Xano
- API endpoints built for what the front end needs rather than exposing tables
- Authentication and authorisation handled at the backend, not in the interface
- Business logic in the backend where it cannot be bypassed
- Rate limits and validation, because a public API will receive unexpected input
- An assessment of whether a conventional backend would serve better

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Xano Development in Durham — common questions
- Why use Xano rather than a no-code tool's own database?
- Relational structure and real API control. Built-in data storage in visual builders handles simple cases and struggles with relationships, complex queries and shared access from several front ends. Xano gives you a proper backend without writing it.
- Where should the logic live?
- In the backend. Rules enforced only in the interface can be bypassed by calling the API directly, which is straightforward for anyone who looks. Validation, permissions and business rules belong where they cannot be circumvented.
- Is it a real database?
- It runs PostgreSQL underneath, so yes in the meaningful sense — relationships, indexes and queries behave as you would expect. The visual layer is over the top rather than replacing it, which is what distinguishes it from spreadsheet-backed tools.
- When would a conventional backend be better?
- When you have developers, when the logic is genuinely complex, or when you need control over deployment and infrastructure. Xano trades some of that for speed, and for teams with engineering capacity the trade often does not favour it.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
