About Variance.

We’re a design and software studio. We work with businesses and organisations to find what’s slowing them down, then design, build and look after the software that fixes it.

Start a project See our work

One team takes each project from the first conversation to launch, and looks after it afterwards. You speak directly to the people doing the work.

  • What we build

    Websites, web apps, mobile apps and the systems a business runs on.

How we work

  1. The lattice 400 squares. One is different.

    Built forone business.

    We start by learning how your business works and who your customers are, and we design for them. Nothing is copied from another project.
  2. The trend line Seventy points on a line. One above it.

    Launch,then improve.

    Launch isn’t the end of the project. We look at how people use what we built and make changes based on what we see.
  3. The gradient Each bar taller than the last.

    Speedmatters.

    People leave pages that load slowly. We keep pages light and test them on the phones and connections your customers use.
  4. The tower A straight tower. One brick out of line.

    Writtendown.

    How to update it, where the backups are, who has access and what to do when something breaks. We write it all down and give it to you.
  5. The scale The same shape, larger.

    Only what’sneeded.

    Every feature costs money to build and time to learn. We build what people will use and leave out the rest.
  6. The signal One clear signal among the noise.

    Easy touse.

    Clear words, clear buttons and pages that load quickly. People should know what to do next without being told.

The name

var·i·ance

/ˈveə.ri.əns/noun

  1. In statistics, how far results spread from the average.

  2. A studio that designs and builds websites, apps and business systems, each one for a single business.

Every business is different, so we don’t build the same thing twice.
