Osindra is an independent, UK-based systems studio focused on building maintainable web systems for small organisations.
We design systems to survive handovers, scale calmly, and remain understandable long after delivery.
Start a projectOsindra was formed to solve a recurring problem: systems that work at launch, then quietly decay until they need rebuilding.
We focus on structure first — separating content from logic, defining constraints early, and designing systems that remain usable as teams change and organisations grow.
The result is software that feels calm to own, predictable to operate, and straightforward to hand over.
Our approach is shaped by experience maintaining systems long after delivery.
We prioritise structure, data flow, and ownership before visual polish.
Well-defined scope prevents long-term fragility and rework.
We avoid clever solutions that are difficult to understand later.
Systems should be owned, not rented indefinitely.
We assume someone else will maintain the system in the future.
We remove complexity wherever it doesn’t directly support the system’s purpose.
Osindra is led by Aidan Henderson, responsible for system architecture, backend development, and overall technical direction.
Specialist contractors are engaged selectively for frontend implementation, infrastructure, or testing where additional expertise is required.
If our approach to systems and long-term ownership aligns with how you like to work, we should talk.
