About SimBco
Independent since 2004. Built for what’s next.
SimBco is an independent software development company founded by Simeon Bateman in 2004. We build custom web applications, modern CMS platforms, and AI solutions for enterprises, agencies, and growing businesses.
For over 20 years, we’ve helped organizations turn complex problems into reliable, scalable software without the lock-in. Our focus is on long-term partnerships, not the next project.
How we’re built
SimBco is led by founder Simeon Bateman, with a long-tenured core team and specialists brought in to fit each project.
Project management, UX and design, and development work as one team, under one standard.
Our philosophy
What we hold to.
Three commitments that shape every project, and why clients stay.
No vendor lock-in
We build on standard, widely-supported platforms and hand over full documentation. If you ever want to work with someone else, you can. Most don’t.
The right tool for the job
Twenty years in, we’ve watched web technology cycle through the same patterns more than once. That perspective means we choose what fits your problem, not whatever’s trendy or whatever we’re selling.
A company, not a contractor
The “Co” in SimBco is the point. Good work is never a solo act. It takes a coordinated team of specialists who know how to play together, with someone accountable for keeping it in tune. That’s how we’re built: a steady core, the right people brought in for the work, and one standard holding it all together.
How we work
How the work gets done.
Good software isn’t one person’s output. It moves through a team of specialists, each doing the part they do best. Here’s the path every project follows, from first question to long after launch.
Stage 1
Roadmapping & Personas
Before a line of code, we get clear on who this is for and what success looks like. We map the real users, the business goals, and the constraints, so every decision that follows has something to answer to.
Stage 2
Wireframes
We shape the structure before the surface. Wireframes let us agree on how things work and flow while changes are still cheap, so design and development build on a foundation everyone’s already seen.
Stage 3
Design
With the structure settled, our design work gives it form: the look, feel, and details that make the product clear to use and genuinely yours. Design serves the plan, not the other way around.
Stage 4
Development
Our developers build it with the right tools for the job, on standard, widely-supported platforms, documented as we go. This is where two decades of pattern-recognition pays off: we’ve solved versions of your problem before.
Stage 5
Testing
Nothing ships on faith. We test against the goals we set in stage one, across devices, edge cases, and real-world use, so what launches holds up under the people who’ll actually use it.
Stage 6
Ongoing Support
Launch is a milestone, not the finish. Because we build on living tools and open-source components, we keep things current, secure, and evolving, which is how some of our partnerships have run past twenty years.
