About
A small studio that ships fast.
We are developers and designers in East London who build software for businesses we understand. We use the best tools available, AI included, and we stay human about it.
Our story
From the shop floor to the codebase.
Turn Up was founded by Raphael Luersen, who ran restaurants before he wrote software. That is why our systems are built for busy people on real shifts.
We build for clients and we build our own products, including the SafetyFirst London compliance platform. Running live software for paying customers every day keeps our standards honest.
The studio has two sides. Here at turnupagency.co.uk we build software. At turnupagency.com our marketing studio handles branding, websites, SEO and advertising.
Principles
Six rules we build by.
You own it
Code, data and documentation belong to you.
Humans decide
AI assists. People review, approve and answer for the work.
Ship early
Working software every sprint, in your hands quickly.
Test everything
Automated and manual tests on every release.
Keep it simple
Only the features you will use, explained in plain English.
Stay close
Support from the people who built it.
Stop renting. Start owning.
One system, built for you, supported by people. Tell us what your team needs.
