Software that fits your business.
We build software shaped around your business, so it runs smarter, scales better and works the way it should.
No pitch. Just a conversation.
sound familiar?
Off-the-shelf software gets you 80% there. Then come the workarounds.
Extra spreadsheets, manual admin, duplicate data, disconnected systems. Over time your business quietly adapts to software that was never designed for it, your customers feel it too, and it costs you time, money and growth.
Systems don't talk to each other
Someone copies and pastes between them and it mostly works, but data gets missed, things fall through the cracks, and nobody ever has a complete picture of what's going on.
Same task, every week, by hand
Everyone knows it should be automated, but there's always something more urgent and it never quite makes it to the top of the list.
Right person needs to be there
Most businesses have more of these than they realise, and they only become a problem when that person is off sick, leaves, or is simply too busy to keep up.
Customers find it hard
What feels fine on your side is clunky on theirs. Repeat support questions, drop-offs at the same step, things that should be self-service but aren't.
AI-driven development means we deliver faster and more affordably than traditional custom software would allow.
how we help
Software that fits the way you operate.
Whether that's automating the repetitive work, connecting your tools, building a dashboard, or shipping a customer-facing feature, we build software that fits how you actually operate.
- Stop doing manually what a system should do for you
- Connect the tools you already use so nothing falls through the cracks
- See what's actually happening in your business, in real time
- Make life easier for your customers, not just your team
- Replace the spreadsheet that only one person understands
- Remove the single points of failure before they become a crisis
how we work
Straightforward from the first conversation onwards.
The first step is always to listen and ask questions rather than jump straight to solutions. Most of the time you already know what needs to change, and our job is to help you find the right way through and then get on with it.
-
Listen
We map your operations before writing a line of code. The right solution usually becomes clear from there.
-
Build
We work directly with you, no account managers or handoffs, so decisions happen quickly and nothing gets lost.
-
Improve
We stay on as your business grows and changes, making sure what we've built keeps doing its job.
Web Happens have been pivotal in the development and improvement of the online platforms that support our 160,000 students.
who we are
The team you talk to is the team that builds.
Sam & Ben, founders
We're a small team, and we like it that way. It means we stay close to the work and the people we're working with.
Between us, we've got over 40 years' experience working on real-world software systems. Sam brings energy, enthusiasm and big picture thinking, while Ben brings realism, attention to detail and a methodical way of working. It works well.
We get things done, care about our work, and take pride in what we deliver.
Fancy a chat?
Sometimes it’s just useful to talk things through with someone who’s seen similar situations before.
No pitch, just a conversation. We’ll talk things through and see where we can help.
