Planning tools for your project

Seven free tools to help you shape a project before you speak to anyone — including us. Each one runs in your browser, needs no sign-up and keeps your answers to yourself unless you choose to share them.

A sensible order to use them

  1. Describe it. Start with the brief builder so your goal, users and constraints are written down.
  2. Choose the technology. Use the stack selector to see which approach fits and why.
  3. Estimate the size. Run the cost estimator to sense the budget and timeline.
  4. Talk to us. Send the results with your enquiry, and we will respond to your actual situation.

What these tools are not: they do not replace a scoping conversation. Estimates are indicative ranges rather than quotations, and recommendations are educational starting points rather than final architecture decisions.
