Frequently asked questions
What does Internet Mate Ltd do?
Internet Mate Ltd is a UK software development company that builds backend systems and APIs, modern web applications, cloud and serverless infrastructure, and AI integrations. We take projects from architecture through to production, and also offer technical consulting, codebase audits and team augmentation. See our services.
Where is Internet Mate based?
Internet Mate Ltd is based in Bracknell, Berkshire, with its principal office at 2 Arlington Square, RG12 1WA, and is registered in England and Wales (company number 07709209). We work with clients across the UK and internationally, remotely, with availability for on-site meetings.

Since 2011. Internet Mate Ltd was incorporated on 18 July 2011 and has delivered software for startups, growth-stage businesses and enterprise clients including SEGA and Discovery. We also build and run our own production products, Pixicular and Datingular.
Who will I actually work with?
Senior engineers, directly. Internet Mate is a small, expert team, so there are no account managers or hand-offs between sales and delivery: the people who scope your project are the people who build it.
Which technologies do you work with?
TypeScript, Node.js, Python and PHP/Laravel on the backend; React/Next.js, Svelte/SvelteKit, Vue/Nuxt, Solid and Astro on the frontend; PostgreSQL and MySQL for data; and AWS, Google Cloud, Terraform and Docker for infrastructure. We pick the stack that suits the problem and the team who will maintain it.
Can you take over or improve an existing codebase?
Yes. Internet Mate is as happy auditing and improving an existing system as building a new one: codebase health assessments, architecture reviews, performance and reliability fixes, and moving infrastructure to infrastructure as code. See Technical Consulting.
Do you build AI features and integrations?
Yes. We add AI to new and existing products, build automation pipelines, and use hosted models or train custom models depending on the need. Our own product Pixicular is an AI image-analysis API, so we've shipped ML-backed endpoints in production. See AI & Automation.
How do you price projects?
It depends on the scope. For well-defined projects Internet Mate quotes a fixed price; ongoing or exploratory work is charged at a day rate. The initial conversation is free, so you can get an honest view of cost and approach before committing to anything.
Can public-sector organisations buy from Internet Mate?
Yes. Internet Mate Ltd is a registered supplier on Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, ProContract and eTenders NI. The company is VAT registered, registered with the ICO (ZA874944), AWS certified and fully insured.
