The senior team founders and owners trust
Experience at the heart of your project.
Founded in 2018 by James Galley and Martin Hicks, Si Novi is a software development team based in Manchester, UK. For businesses from Jaguar Land Rover to fast-growing startups, we design, build and maintain the web and mobile software they depend on.
With two decades each on the web platform, we have a proven track record of secure, scalable, successful software - and a relationship you'll actually enjoy.
An AWS Select Tier Services Partner, so everything we build is ready to scale from day one.
Why founders and owners
choose us
You work directly with the two senior people who actually build your software - no account managers, no junior hand-offs.
You get a copy of everything we build and it runs in your own AWS account, you get honest advice even when it isn't what you hoped to hear, and we stay for the long term - not just to launch.


The right software, built the right way
Whether you're building something new, replacing tools that no longer fit, or improving what you already have, we bring senior engineering and honest advice to every decision.
You get software that's built to last, delivered in short cycles so you see progress early - and running costs kept lean on AWS.
