We offer a considered range of services designed to make access to senior developers easy
Review & advise
Get an experienced second opinion on a proposed build, an existing codebase or a technical decision before you commit more time and budget.
We examine the approach, challenge assumptions and identify what needs attention, including security, maintainability and whether the solution fits the problem.
Build & integrate
Embed a developer with your team to build a tool, improve an application or connect the systems you already use.
From internal tools and customer portals to APIs and integrations, get hands-on expertise that works with your people and your existing technology, with security and maintainability considered from the start.
Technical advocacy
Already working with an agency or another developer? Bring in an independent technical advocate who is on your side of the table.
Get help comparing proposals, asking the right questions, reviewing progress and checking that the delivered software meets the brief. You keep your development partner and gain the expertise to make informed decisions.
Turtledove builds the network to de-risk your access to fractional developer expertise
We've built a network of exceptional developers, vetted and selected by Turtledove. We match their experience to your project, so you can work directly with someone capable of making a difference without starting your search from scratch.
A few well-placed sessions with an experienced developer can help you avoid costly mistakes. When you need more capacity, that same expertise can be embedded with your team. You pay for the support the work needs, without the commitment of a permanent hire.
Common questions.
Can you work on software we already have?+
Yes. We can start by reviewing the code, architecture and operating environment, then agree what can be improved. That might mean fixing a specific problem, extending an application or connecting it to another system.
Can you help if we do not have a technical lead?+
Yes. An experienced developer can help translate your needs into a useful brief, question technical proposals and explain the trade-offs in plain language. You can get informed advice before committing to a larger piece of work.
