Product studio in London. Strategy, design and engineering.
From the first idea to launch, Shipyard brings strategy, design and engineering together to build digital products that solve real problems.
Two products we run ourselves and two client projects, each taken from a sentence to something real. The case studies cover the decisions, not just the screens.
Marketplace, iOS and AndroidFounder-led product
An authenticated sneaker and streetwear resale marketplace, live on the web, the App Store and Google Play.
B2B SaaSFounder-led product
Inventory, product and order sync across Shopify, WooCommerce and custom storefronts, with a retailer network on top.
7days from brief to live site
EcommerceClient project
A premium fashion storefront with a personal sourcing service built in. Brief to live in seven days.
Brand identityClient project
A visual identity for a London strength and conditioning club. Two complete directions, one locked.
The Stack
Side-by-side
Vertical
Seven capabilities, usually combined. Each one is there because of what it changes for the business, not because it fills a list.
Spend the first budget proving the idea, not polishing the wrong one.
See it in SyncLayer
A site that explains what you do in seconds and that your team can run.
Get onto the App Store and Google Play without running two products.
See it in Resoled
A store that sells, takes payment properly and is easy to operate.
See it in Radnar Supply
Fewer drop-offs at the screens that matter, and a system that keeps the product consistent.
An identity that people recognise and that survives everyone who uses it after us.

Put something real in front of users in days, before the build budget is committed.
Most ideas arrive uncertain. Six stages turn them into validated requirements, clear designs and reliable software, and none of them gets skipped when a deadline moves.
Understand the customer, the business and the problem.
Turn an uncertain idea into requirements you can build against.
Map the journeys, then make the experience real.
Turn the design into reliable software.
Test it, ship it and put it in front of real users.
Watch what people do, then improve it.
Shipyard is a small product studio. We run products of our own, so we know what it costs when scope drifts, a payment fails or a launch slips, and we plan for those things from the first call.
You work with the people making the decisions. The person questioning the onboarding flow is the person accountable for shipping it, so a decision made on Tuesday is in the product by Thursday.
A few sentences is plenty. Tell us what it is, who it is for and where you have got to, and we will come back with an honest view of scope, sequence and cost, usually within two working days.
