Software developers in Glasgow and Lanarkshire
63Digital is a software development studio in Newarthill, Motherwell. We build and look after bespoke systems, customer portals, payment platforms and websites for businesses across Glasgow and Lanarkshire.
What we do for businesses here
Most of our work is software that a business runs on, rather than brochure websites. Typically that means:
Replacing an Access database or a tangle of spreadsheets with a proper web system, one piece at a time, while the old one keeps running. See legacy system modernisation, or start with a fixed-price system review.
Bespoke platforms and customer portals built around how the business actually works. See bespoke platforms and eCommerce and portals.
Connecting the systems you already use, such as payments, accounts, CRM and online shop, so information stops being typed in twice. See system integration.
Payments built into a platform, with Stripe, Square and Apple and Google Wallet tickets. See payment integration.
Websites built, rescued and looked after on WordPress, WooCommerce, Umbraco and Shopify, including sites left behind when a developer moved on. See CMS development and support and software rescue, or start with a fixed-price website health check.
Why a developer close by helps
You talk to the people who build and look after your system, not an account manager passing messages on. Replacing a system well means understanding how people use the current one: what they print, what they work around, what only one person knows. That is easier when we can spend time with the people who use it most.
Work we have done
Aqua IT Support: from spreadsheets to a client portal with job tracking and an audit trail.
KCR Academy: a management portal that simplified bookings and payments.
eControl: production and customer progress tracking for a build-to-order business.
Clarkston Colts: a complete website delivered in days.
A Scottish retailer: two Access systems, with 425 queries and almost 23,000 lines of code documented before anything was replaced. See Microsoft Access to web app migration.
Where we work
We are based at 63 Lomond Walk, Newarthill, Motherwell ML1 5HQ, and work with businesses in Motherwell, Hamilton, Coatbridge, Airdrie, Glasgow and across North and South Lanarkshire. We also work with businesses across the UK.
Common questions
Do you only work with businesses in Lanarkshire?
No. Much of our work is for businesses elsewhere in the UK. Being local simply makes it easier to meet the people who use the system.
Do you build websites as well as software?
Yes. We build and look after websites on WordPress, WooCommerce, Umbraco and Shopify. Where we are most useful is when a website has to do real work, such as bookings, payments or a customer portal.
Is bespoke software expensive?
It does not have to be done all at once. We replace one part at a time, so the cost is spread over stages and each stage is priced before it starts. A system review gives you a written plan and a fixed price for the first stage.
