Software and Marketing Under One Roof
Most UK businesses end up with two suppliers: an agency that markets, and a developer that builds. The handover between them is where budgets leak and timelines slip.
Soft Rivox Tech does both. We build the custom web application or CRM system your operation actually needs, then run the SEO and paid campaigns that fill it with customers. One team, one roadmap, one point of accountability.
We work with UK startups, scale-ups and established SMEs from our base in Manchester, and we run projects remotely as standard — most of our clients we have never met in person, and it makes no difference to delivery.
If you already know what you need, send us the brief. If you are still scoping it, book a free 30-minute consultation and we will tell you honestly whether custom software is the right answer. Sometimes it is not, and we will say so.
Send us the briefWhat We Build
Custom Web App Development
Client portals, booking systems and internal tools built around your workflow. React and PHP, hosted in the UK, yours to own outright.
Mobile App Development
Native iOS and Android apps, or one cross-platform build serving both. Shipped to the App Store and Play Store, not just handed over as code.
Digital Marketing & SEO
Search, paid and social campaigns with reporting you can actually read. You see the spend, the leads and the cost per lead every month.
Custom CRM & HRM Development
Stop paying per-seat for software that fits badly. We build the CRM or HR system your process needs, and you own the licence forever.
Brand Identity & Graphic Design
Logo, palette, typography and a usable brand guide — so everything you publish afterwards looks like it came from one company.
Video Production & Ad Creative
Brand films, product videos and social ad creative, scripted and shot to convert rather than just look good.
Why UK Businesses Choose Us
Software and marketing in one team
We build in-house. Your developer sits in the same team as the person running your campaigns, not two companies down a subcontracting chain.
You own everything
Code, repositories, hosting accounts and ad accounts are transferred to you at handover. No lock-in, and nothing held back to keep you on a retainer.
UK-hosted by default
Your data stays in the UK unless you ask otherwise, which keeps GDPR, retention rules and subject access requests straightforward to answer.
Fixed quotes, not drifting hours
We scope the work properly and then quote a fixed price for it. You are not billed for our estimating mistakes halfway through a build.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom web application cost in the UK?
We quote a fixed price after a free scoping call rather than publishing a range, because the same one-line brief can differ several-fold once it is pinned down. What actually moves the number is the count of distinct user roles, how many external systems it has to talk to, whether there is a mobile app alongside the web build, and how much existing data has to be migrated and cleaned. You get one figure you can budget against, not an hourly estimate that drifts.
How long does a project take?
A brochure website takes 3 to 4 weeks. A custom CRM or web application typically takes 8 to 16 weeks from signed brief to launch. Mobile apps add 2 to 3 weeks on top for App Store and Play Store review, which is outside anyone’s control and worth planning around rather than hoping for.
Do you work with businesses outside Manchester?
Yes. We work with clients across the UK and run projects remotely as standard. Most of our clients we have never met in person, and it makes no difference to delivery. Where an on-site discovery workshop genuinely helps — usually when we are mapping a process nobody has written down — we will travel for it.
Do I own the code you write?
Yes, completely. Code, repositories, hosting and domain accounts are transferred to you at handover. We don’t hold anything hostage to keep you on a retainer, and you are free to take the system to another developer the day after launch.
What happens after launch?
Every build includes a post-launch support window while your team settles in and we fix anything that only surfaces in real use. After that you can take it in-house, or keep us on a support retainer. Both options are priced before you sign, not after.
