Independent software studio
We build focused web applications and developer tools that make everyday work a little simpler.
Small by design. Built for the long run.
Made by Seagoing
Format data, check contrast, and get back to work. Our browser tools run locally, without accounts or uploads.
A quiet workspace for messy JSON. Format, validate, and minify. Nothing leaves your browser.
Find a clearer combination. Check color contrast and make more accessible choices, one palette at a time.
What we can help with
Selected collaborations for teams that need a clearer interface, a focused first release, or a better way to get work done.
For everyday operations
Internal tools, customer portals, and custom workflows. Build around the tasks people actually need to complete, with clear screens and predictable interactions.
For people who build
Browser utilities and lightweight tools that remove friction from a specific task, from inspecting data to formatting output or validating an input.
For ideas worth testing
Turn an early idea into something concrete. Define a useful core, shape the key user flows, and improve the product as the real requirements become clearer.
Bring one workflow, one audience, or one clearly defined problem. We can discuss what belongs in a first release and what can wait.
The studio
Software should help you do your thing.
Not get in the way of
it.
Seagoing is an independent software studio making digital products for developers and small teams. We care about clear interfaces, considered details, and tools that do a few things really well.
Our own products give us room to explore. We also welcome selected collaborations, bringing that same care to someone else's idea. In both, the goal is the same: something genuinely useful.
Have something in mind?Less noise.
More purpose.
How we build
From the first sketch to the details you notice on your hundredth visit. A few things guide everything we make.
Understand the problem before adding the features. Build around a real task, not a longer checklist.
Clear language, accessible interfaces, and sensible defaults. The small decisions shape the whole experience.
Choose maintainable foundations over unnecessary complexity. Leave room to improve as real needs evolve.
Working together
A collaboration should make the next decision easier. The exact deliverables depend on the project and are agreed before work begins.
Frequently asked
Focused web applications, browser-based utilities, and developer tools. We're interested in software that makes a specific task simpler, whether it's one of our own products or a selected collaboration.
Yes. JSON Desk and Contrast Check are free to use, with no account required. Both run entirely in your browser. We don't upload your input, add analytics, or track how you use them.
We welcome conversations about thoughtful web products and developer tools. Send a short note to [email protected] with the problem you're solving, your rough scope, and any timing you have in mind.
For collaborative projects, maintenance and improvements can be discussed as part of the scope. We'd rather set clear expectations together than promise a one-size-fits-all package.
Yes. A focused utility, a single workflow, or an early prototype can be a sensible starting point. We can separate the essentials from the later improvements, so the first release has a clear purpose.
Share your current setup and the part that isn't working well. We can assess whether targeted interface improvements, a new feature, or a more substantial rebuild would be the more practical approach.
Scope, integrations, design needs, and the condition of existing code all affect an estimate. Deliverables, milestones, and assumptions are agreed before work starts. A short project brief helps make that discussion concrete.
Handover is defined in the agreed scope. It can include source files, setup and deployment notes, and a walkthrough of the delivered features. Hosting, third-party services, and ongoing maintenance are discussed separately so responsibilities are clear.
