Compound Co

Custom web applications built for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools. We build the logic that sits underneath: client portals, internal dashboards, CRMs, quoting and booking systems, each one shaped around how the business actually runs. Every build starts with a scoping session to map the real workflow before any code is written. You own the source code and the documentation. Hosting, support and further development are available but never locked in. Recent work includes a CRM where a client's consultation answers assemble the proposal they receive, and a broker platform running an entire pipeline on rules with automated compliance.

AI systems built into the way a business already works, rather than another chat window beside it. Document search across a firm's own files, agents that follow written procedures, and private deployments where confidentiality rules out sending data to a public API. We run the same systems in our own business: an autonomous content pipeline, an AI-citation tracker and an invoicing system, all built on Claude. Every build is scoped so the deterministic work stays in code and the model only handles judgement.

Generative Engine Optimisation alongside classic search: getting a business cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, not only ranked in blue links. Answer-first structure, schema for AI crawlers, and measurement against a frozen question set so movement is provable. Delivered as a monthly engagement with reporting on citations and organic visibility. No lock-in contracts.

Websites built on Astro and deployed on Vercel, with a Git-based CMS so the client can edit their own content without a page builder. Fast by construction: static rendering, optimised images, Core Web Vitals in the green before launch. Includes structured data, sitemap and the technical groundwork for search and AI-answer visibility. Suited to service businesses that need the site to carry weight next to larger competitors.
