Socks Studio
Web development
Sites, products and internal systems built to be used every day and maintained for years.
From a marketing site that has to load fast to a Laravel backend behind a busy storefront or a Next.js product with a long roadmap, we match the stack to the problem rather than the other way round.
Start a projectSee the workWhat we do
Fast, responsive marketing sites built to be maintained.
React and Next.js products with TypeScript throughout.
Laravel and PHP behind the scenes, including moves off legacy systems.
Connect the tools you already use and let the repetitive work run itself.
AWS, Vercel, Netlify and SiteHost, monitored after launch.
Updates, fixes and performance work on a steady cadence.

Tech stack
From a marketing site to a platform with a long roadmap.
For Sites and SaaS products
Our default for marketing sites and SaaS products: server rendering, routing and image optimisation built in.
For Web app interfaces
Component-driven interfaces for web apps and dashboards, written in TypeScript.
For APIs and admin systems
The PHP framework behind our storefronts, dashboards and APIs, paired with MySQL or PostgreSQL.
For Front end and back end
Typed JavaScript across the whole stack, so refactors stay safe as products grow.
01
What the code itself is written in.
Typed JavaScript that catches mistakes before they reach production.
The language of the web and the foundation of everything we ship in the browser.
The language behind years of our platform, e-commerce and CMS work.
Scripting, tooling and the odd side project like our PyQuickie extension.
02
How interfaces get built and styled.
The UI library behind most of the interfaces we build.
Our go-to framework for fast, search-friendly websites and web apps.
A framework for content sites that ship almost no JavaScript.
Reactive interfaces for Laravel apps without a separate frontend stack.
Small interactions dropped straight into server-rendered pages.
The classic DOM library, still running large parts of the web.
Utility-first CSS that keeps styling fast and consistent.
The CSS framework behind many of the sites we maintain and extend.
The build tool behind our fastest front-end setups.
03
The systems and storage behind the interface.
The JavaScript runtime behind our tooling, APIs and server-side code.
A PHP framework for building solid, maintainable backends quickly.
A typed database client for our TypeScript projects.
The relational database behind most of our PHP and platform work.
A powerful open-source database we use for modern application work.
In-memory storage for caching, sessions and queues.
A query language for APIs that sends exactly the data a page needs.
04
So clients can edit their own content and sell from it.
The most widely used CMS, tuned for clients who edit their own sites.
A flexible, developer-friendly CMS for content-rich client sites.
A Laravel-based flat-file CMS that keeps content and code in one repo.
A headless CMS with a visual editor, ideal for component-based sites.
The platform we recommend for most online stores.
05
Where the work runs once it is live.
Zero-config hosting built for Next.js projects.
Simple, reliable hosting for static and Jamstack sites.
Managed hosting for Laravel and PHP sites that need to sit close to their customers.
Cloud infrastructure for the projects that need more than a platform host.
Straightforward hosting for APIs, workers and background jobs.
Managed WordPress hosting we trust with busy client sites.
Enterprise-grade WordPress hosting for client sites that cannot go down.
DNS, CDN and security in front of most sites we look after.
Containers that make every environment behave the same.
06
How the work gets designed, reviewed and shipped.
Where our designs are made, shared and handed to development.
Version control on every project we touch, no exceptions.
Where our code lives, gets reviewed and ships from.
Real-device testing so sites work everywhere, not just on our machines.
