Our Story.
We’re a software company with a different approach
Shorke is a team of start-up tech entrepreneurs, software designers, UI experts and developers who have a track record in investing in and bringing to market innovative software.
1
Ideas
Talking through your ideas helps us to create a brief that we will then use and refer to throughout the lifecycle of the project.
2
Prototype
We then create a prototype that allows us to mock-up how your software is going to work, where you can see it in action and test it out.
3
Design
Once you are happy with the prototype, we design your software - which helps us make sure that it will be easy, intuitive and beautiful to use.
4
Development
We then develop your software, asking you to test and sign-off on the different stages of development, until we are complete and we get your idea live!

Consultation
A consultation gives us the opportunity to get to know you, your business and what you are looking to achieve with your new software. It creates a solid base on which to build a strong working relationship, and to build a brief from.
Software Design
Going hand in hand with our Prototyping service, our incredible design team are second to none at turning your vision into a creative reality. The end results are not only beautiful, but also factor in mobile and tablet devices too.
Prototyping
Prototyping allows us to create an online working version of your software vision, letting us play around with ideas and tweak what does and doesn't work. It is like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle - fitting the different elements together to create a brilliant whole.
Development
This is where we get to bring your idea to life, utilising the designs and prototypes created, to develop your new application. Our team takes an iterative approach to development, where we work in stages and obtain your feedback throughout.
Review
Our review service is two fold, and gives us the opportunity to review any existing software you may have so that we can develop it further, and / or the ability to review all stages of software development on a cyclical basis to manage quality and ensure a brilliant outcome.
Production
Going hand in hand with all stages of our software development, our production service gives us the tools that we need to manage the process throughout, to keep you informed throughout, and to make delivery as transparent and painless as possible.

People say:
We worked with Jo and the team to help develop an initial prototype for our new teacher social network. Not only did they understand our audience and user complexities but they were able to come up with practical solutions to unable us to take this to development. I would highly recommend Jo and the team! Great work!
Joanna Short is a software super-star! Highly experienced with a background in developing and project managing software and resources, Jo has repeatedly demonstrated her skills at understanding the needs of the client and developing a top-notch strategy to deliver. Professional, dependable and efficient, where others may be fazed by complex requirements, Jo instead thrives. Having worked closely with Jo for several years, I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend her services.
An amazing job at turning what I had imagined into reality - with a few recommendations made along the way that really made it. Thank you.
