We're a Croatian engineering studio: one hour from London, and working a full day that overlaps with New York. You get same-day answers, direct access to the engineer writing your code, and EU data protection — at European rates.
Three words get thrown around in outsourcing, and most agencies use whichever one sounds best. Here is the honest version — including where we genuinely sit.
| Onshore | Nearshore | Offshore | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where | Your own country | A nearby country, similar time zone | A distant country, large time gap |
| Working hours | Identical | Mostly or fully overlapping | Little to no overlap — overnight handover |
| Typical cost | Highest | Middle | Lowest |
| Real cost of delay | None | A question answered the same hour | A question costs you a day, every time |
| Where we sit | — | For the UK & EU: yes, genuinely. Zagreb is London +1, a two-hour flight, inside the EU. | For the US: geographically, this is us — but we work 8:00–16:00 ET, so you get nearshore behaviour without the offshore time gap. |
We could call ourselves "nearshore for America" and most people wouldn't check a map. We'd rather be straight with you: we're offshore from the US by geography and nearshore by how we actually work.
Zagreb is one hour ahead of London and a two-hour direct flight from most UK airports. Same working day, same quarter of the world, same regulatory space — EU company, GDPR by default, invoices in GBP or EUR. We've supported UK clients for years, including one relationship running past four years of continuous work.
We run a schedule with full-time overlap with the US East Coast day, 8:00–16:00 ET. Standups, Slack, and code review happen while you're at your desk — not in an overnight batch you read the next morning. Billed in USD by card or ACH, and your NDA is signed before the first call.
Senior engineers embedded in your existing team, your tools, your sprint cadence — not a black box that returns a build.
Scoped, fixed-quote projects taken from blank page to launch, with weekly builds you can actually run.
React, Next.js, APIs, integrations, cloud migrations, plus the WordPress and Shopify work that keeps revenue moving.
React Native for iOS and Android, and native macOS apps in Swift.
LLM features, document intelligence, and agents built with evals and cost control — see AI integration.
The unglamorous part: hosting, SSL, backups, upgrades, and being there when something breaks on a Friday.
Most outsourcing pitches end at a case study you can't verify. Ours ends with software you can download and run: we ship our own Mac apps, signed and notarized by Apple, several of them open source.
30 minutes in your working hours. We map the work, flag the risks, and say honestly if we're the wrong fit.
A written scope with a fixed price in USD, GBP or EUR. No hourly meter, no surprise overruns.
Something you can run every week. Feedback in your standup goes into the next build, not a change request.
Full handover with documentation, or we keep maintaining it. Your code and IP are yours either way.
Nearshore means outsourcing development to a nearby country in a similar time zone — as opposed to onshore (your own country, highest cost) or offshore (a distant country, cheapest but with a large time gap). The whole point is overlapping working hours: you get answers the same hour instead of the next day.
Yes. Zagreb is one hour ahead of London, a two-hour direct flight, and inside the EU and GDPR. In practice it's the same working day with no meaningful time gap.
Geographically, no — we're offshore from the US, and we'd rather say so than sell you a label. Operationally we behave like a nearshore team: we work a schedule with full-time overlap with the US East Coast day (8:00–16:00 ET), so you get the time-zone benefit of nearshore at European rates.
Three things. Your working day is covered in real time rather than by overnight handover. You talk directly to the engineer writing the code, not an account manager. And your data stays under EU law with GDPR-grade handling. If price is the only thing that matters to you, offshore will win — we'd tell you that on the first call.
Senior European engineering typically costs a fraction of an equivalent US agency, and sits well below a comparable London day rate. You get a fixed quote in USD, GBP or EUR within 48 hours of the scoping call.
You do, from the first commit. We sign your NDA before the first call, and all IP transfers to you as part of the standard contract. As an EU company we're bound by GDPR for anything touching personal data.
Yes — that's the most common arrangement. Your repo, your board, your Slack, your sprint cadence. We join standups in your hours and review code alongside your engineers.
Tell us what you're building. You'll get a reply from the engineer who'd do the work — within one business day, in your time zone.
