Culture

Django Web Studio · Amsterdam

The people you work with directly.

We've been a small, Amsterdam-based team since we started in 2011. That means everyone knows what's being built, why it matters, and who is responsible for it.

There’s no account manager between you and the people writing code.

How Decisions Get Made

How Decisions Get Made

The people on your product are the people making the calls.

We don’t run decisions up a management chain. When something is unclear, we ask. When something needs to change, we say so.

Once a week, fifteen minutes to align on priorities. The rest of the time, we build.

Becoming Masters

Becoming Masters

Every week, the team meets to get better.

Not a status meeting. A session where senior engineers bring something new — a technique, a tool, an approach — and we work through it together. A new async pattern in Django. A testing approach that halved review time on a client project. A way to structure AI-generated code that the whole team can reason about.

This is how we stay current without losing the depth that took years to build.

When we tell you we know what we’re doing, it isn’t a claim from a sales deck. It’s the output of a team that has been deliberately improving every week for years.

What We Expect From Each Other

What We Expect From Each Other

Clarity. Honesty. No politics.

The team expects clarity. Not certainty — clarity. Tell us what you know, what you don’t know, and what you need. We’ll do the same.

We don’t do politics. If something isn’t working, we say it. If we made a mistake, we own it and fix it.

Long-Term Over Short-Term

Long-Term Over Short-Term

We’re interested in what happens to a product over time.

We’ve been working with some clients since 2017. That is not an accident.

We’ll sometimes push back on what you ask for. Not to be difficult, but because we’ve seen enough products to know when a shortcut causes a problem six months later.

The clients who have stayed longest are the ones whose products have grown the most. That relationship runs in both directions.

The first call is just a conversation. Thirty minutes, no agenda beyond figuring out whether there is a fit.
