The people you talk to are the people who build it.

Kiln Software is a small software company in Hampshire, run by two directors and an office dog. We’re with you from the first chat to looking after what we’ve built.

Why we started Kiln.

We’ve spent years seeing websites and software built for businesses that just aren’t fit for purpose. Hard to update, hard to use, and hard to get help with once the project is over.

So we started Kiln to do it properly. Things built around how you actually work, explained in plain English with no technical knowledge needed. Honest advice, even when the answer isn’t us. And support that doesn’t disappear after launch.

What you can expect from us.

Four things we hold ourselves to on every project, big or small.

Plain English

No jargon.

We explain what we’re doing and why, in words that make sense. You don’t need any technical knowledge to work with us.

Honest advice

We’ll say if it isn’t us.

Sometimes the best answer is a simpler tool, something off the shelf or a different team. If so, we’ll tell you.

Built properly

Made to be lived with.

Simple to use and easy to look after, so it keeps working as your business changes.

After launch

Still here.

Support that carries on after launch. Ongoing, or just when you need us, from the people who built it.

The people you’ll work with.

There’s no account manager in the middle. You’ll talk to one of us directly.
