How we work
The values behind every engagement
Do right by clients
Honest advice, even when it means recommending something simpler or cheaper.
Cut the complexity
We strip away what doesn't need to be there and build what does. Nothing more.
Long-term partnership
We're not here for a quick project. We're here to grow alongside the businesses we work with.
Give back
A meaningful part of our work goes to nonprofits and community organizations who need it most.
What drives us
Cutting overhead. Delivering ownership.
Too many businesses are paying for tools they don't need, locked into platforms they don't own, and dependent on vendors who don't really know them. We got into this work to change that.
Our focus is on eliminating unnecessary overhead; in cost, in complexity and in the day-to-day friction that slows teams down. We replace bloated SaaS subscriptions with lean, custom-built solutions. We migrate legacy systems into modern platforms. We give clients real ownership of their data and infrastructure, not just a licence to use someone else's.
SaaS CRM replacement
A client was spending $14,000 annually on a CRM they barely used. We replaced it with a custom Payload CMS implementation — giving them full data ownership and a system built around how they actually work.
Legacy fleet system modernisation
A deprecated Drupal fleet system rebuilt as a modern multi-tenant platform on Payload CMS and Next.js 15 — hosted on Hetzner with full CI/CD and load balancing.
Free Platform Hosting
Shifted multiple nonprofits away from subscription platforms reducing their monthly bills and shifting that money to its purpose – making a difference.
Community
Rising tides raise all ships
A meaningful portion of the work we do goes to organisations that couldn't otherwise afford it. We support local nonprofits, community groups and unions who are doing important work but don't have the budget for enterprise tooling.
For these organisations, we design, migrate, manage and host their platforms entirely free of charge. It's not a marketing exercise — it's just the right thing to do. We believe access to good technology shouldn't be determined by the size of your budget.
Supporting Local Community
Each year, HenHouse Solutions selects one nonprofit to receive a full platform build, redesign and staff training package at no cost. If your organisation could benefit, we'd love to hear from you.
