Strange Software can design and develop applications and utilities for Windows PCs and Unix systems. These include custom applications for in-house use, software developed for retail sale and applications or utilities developed for bundling or to give-away as promotional gifts. So if you're thinking that there must still be someone, somewhere who can write this stuff, there is... and we're not a million miles away.
We can work to your detailed specification or start just with your idea and design a suitable product from the ground-up (in most cases, we operate somewhere in-between, contributing our own ideas to your plans or adapting what we're doing to suit your own preferences and suggestions). We are happy to make a new product fit-in with existing hardware or software products... we can match the user-interface and general design of a sister product, reproduce the behaviour of an old, legacy package and create something that's file-format compatible with the other products you market.
Some of our completed projects include:
Strange Software applications have been published or purchased by clients including BBC Worldwide, British Gas, BT, Dorling Kindersely, ICL, Merrill Lynch, Royal Horticultural Society, VNU Business Publications and Ziff-Davis.
Shrink-wrapped Solutions Strange Software has developed a number of retail boxed products for both software and more general publishers.
