    // What is HTS?

    Feel like big tech doesn’t care how you work?

    Their software is built for everyone, so you’re the one who has to fit.

    So you get cut to fit.

    The bits that make you good get trimmed off. Then you pay rent on what’s left.

    We build around you instead.

    We learn how you actually work, then build to that exact shape.

    Then we hand it over. You own it.

    The code and every account go into your name. Nothing to rent. Nothing locked in.

    Who it’s for

    Too specialist for off-the-shelf. Too niche for big tech to care.

    • You pay every month for features you’ll never use.
    • The price goes up every year, whether it got better or not.
    • Your tools don’t talk to each other, so you type everything in twice.
    • The way you actually work lives in a spreadsheet you update at 10pm.
    • The one change you asked for is still “on the roadmap”.
    • Getting your own data out is a project in itself.
    • And when it breaks, it takes ages to fix, or even worse, it’s ignored.

    Who we are

    We build it. You own it.

    HyperText Strategies is a software studio in Oakham, Rutland. We build software around how you work, then hand it over, with the code and every account in your name.

    We spent years inside the business software industry, watching owners like you get sold things they didn’t need. So we do the opposite. We build what you need. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Principles

    Four rules, on every project.

    1. Consultation before code

      We learn how you work before we write a line.

    2. You own everything

      The code and every account go into your name.

    3. Nothing locked in

      Still yours if we vanish. Any developer can pick it up.

    4. Plain English

      No jargon and no hard sell. Straight answers you can act on.
