Built, launched, looked after.

Web development and consultancy that does not end at handover. Designed, built, launched and then looked after, so your site stays current and out of your way while you get on with the business.

What we build, all of it made to fit.

No templates wearing your logo, no features you will never open. Each project is shaped around how you actually work, then built properly enough to last.

svc_01

Websites & web apps

Frontend, backend, and everything holding them together. From a single page that loads in a blink to a full platform with logins, dashboards and moving parts, designed and coded from the ground up.

// from one page to a whole platform
svc_02

Ecommerce

Online stores that look like you and sell like they mean it. Payments, shipping and stock, wired up on whichever platform suits you.

svc_03

Platforms & services

The tools you run on, set up, configured and talking to each other. Email, domains, accounts, the lot.

svc_04

Creators & communities

The online services creators run on, plus bot development and the tooling that keeps a community ticking. For streamers, makers and anyone with an audience.

svc_05

Consultancy

Know roughly where you want to get to but not how? A look at what you have, a clear plan, and honest advice so you are not boxed in later.

Every project flies the same four phases.

01 · PRE-LAUNCH

Scoping & brief

We dig into what you actually need and why, agree the shape of the work, and plan the route before a line of code is written.

02 · ASCENT

Built

Designed and developed to fit. Scoped to the job, nothing padded, and you watch it take shape as it goes.

03 · ORBIT INSERTION

Launched

Tested, deployed and live. A proper handover, written down rather than left in our heads, so nothing is a mystery on day one.

04 · IN ORBIT

Looked after

Go-live is the start, not the end. Ongoing support, updates and change requests, all handled in Gateway.

the studio behind it

LaunchPad is the build side of Axenara.

Axenara exists to take the hard parts of the internet off your hands, so you can focus on what you do best. LaunchPad designs, builds and launches. The wider studio keeps it hosted, supported and steady once it is out there.

It means the people who built your site are the same people you call when it needs changing. One studio behind the work, not a chain of suppliers pointing at each other.

Everything we build is host-agnostic, so it runs wherever you like, with no lock-in. And if you would rather not think about servers at all, we run our own hosting too, tuned to the work. Your call, never a condition.

Reliable. By default.
01

Build & consultancy

This bit. Websites, stores, platforms and honest advice, under the LaunchPad name.

02

Hosting (optional)

If you want it, looked-after hosting tuned to what we build. Not required, never locked in.

03

Ongoing support

Someone on the end of the line when something needs changing, fixing or explaining.

why work this way

Built to last, not built to bill.

A few things that tend to matter once you have been burned by the other kind of project.

01

Built to fit

Shaped around how you work, not bent around a theme someone else made.

02

Looked after

Go-live is not the end. Support, updates and change requests carry on through Gateway.

03

Direct and accountable

You talk to the people doing the work. No account managers, no ticket lottery.

04

Yours to keep

Clean code, clear docs, accounts in your name. Nothing locked away if you ever move on.
