Villa Naia & Suites
A bilingual booking website and a complete back office for a villa, five suites and a restaurant — six independently rented units that used to live in Excel.
Visit siteSoftware studio · Clay + Code
Systems shapedby hand.Fired forproduction.
PotteryCode builds web platforms, applications and cloud infrastructure the way a potter builds a vessel — centered, patient, shaped by hand and hardened in the kiln to last.
01 — The material
Clay and code are the same material.
Both start as something shapeless. Both reward patience and punish shortcuts. Both stay soft while you work them — and become permanent the moment they're fired.
We named the studio after that idea. Every system we build is thrown on the same wheel: a true center, walls raised in steady pulls, a surface people love to touch, and a firing that makes it hold.
— The PotteryCode studio
// every piece, every project
const piece = throwOnWheel(clay, {
center: "domain model",
walls: "typed & tested",
glaze: "design system",
});
await kiln.fire(piece, { env: "production" });
// cracked? mend it with gold.
piece.on("crack", kintsugi);02 — What clay taught us
Six properties of clay. Six principles of engineering.
Plasticity
Adaptable architecture
Soft clay takes any shape. We keep systems modular and loosely coupled, so they can change shape as your business does.
Centering
Solid foundations
An off-center pot collapses on the wheel. Every project starts with a clear domain model, clean data and one source of truth.
Leather-hard
Refine at the right moment
Clay can only be trimmed when it's firm but not dry. We refactor and optimise when it counts — not too early, never too late.
Vitrification
Hardened for production
In the kiln, clay turns to stone. Automated tests, security reviews and load testing turn our code into something that holds under heat.
Glaze
Interfaces people love
The glaze is the surface people touch. Thoughtful UX, accessible design and fast interfaces are part of the craft, not a finish.
Kintsugi
Resilience & care
When a bowl cracks, it's mended with gold. Incidents become lessons: we monitor, repair visibly and leave systems stronger than before.
03 — What we make
From a single vessel to the whole studio.
Six crafts, one workshop. Take one, or let us shape the whole thing end to end.
01
Vessels
Application Development
Custom web and mobile applications, thrown from scratch around your users and your workflows.
02
Platforms
Web Platforms & SaaS
Marketplaces, SaaS products and e-commerce built to hold many users at once — multi-tenant, fast, secure.
03
Kilns
Cloud & Infrastructure
The heat that makes everything hold: cloud architecture, CI/CD, observability and cost control.
04
Glazes
Product & Design Systems
UX research, interface design and component libraries — the surface your users actually touch.
05
Slip
Automation & Integrations
Slip is liquid clay that joins two pieces into one. We connect your tools, data and AI into a single flow.
06
The Studio
IT Consulting & Audits
A master potter at your side: architecture reviews, code audits, technical due diligence and CTO-as-a-service.
04 — How we work
From lump to kiln.
Seven stages borrowed from the potter's bench. Each one ends with something you can hold.
01
Wedging / Discovery
Potters knead clay to push out the air bubbles that would crack it in the kiln. We do the same with assumptions — workshops, user interviews and a hard look at the data until the brief is solid.
You get → Discovery brief & scope
02
Centering / Architecture
Nothing good comes off an off-center wheel. We define the domain, the data model and the architecture that every later decision will spin around.
You get → Architecture & technical plan
03
Throwing / Build
Walls rise in short, steady pulls. We ship in one- to two-week iterations, with a working preview you can click after every pull.
You get → Iterations & live previews
04
Trimming / Refine & test
Once leather-hard, excess clay is shaved away. We refactor, write tests and cut anything that doesn't earn its weight.
You get → Test suite & code reviews
05
Glazing / Design polish
The glaze is what people touch. Interfaces, micro-interactions, accessibility and performance get their final coat.
You get → Polished, accessible UI
06
Firing / Launch
The kiln is unforgiving: what goes in soft comes out permanent. We launch with automated pipelines, monitoring and a rollback plan ready.
You get → Production launch
07
Kintsugi / Care & evolve
A cracked bowl mended with gold is more beautiful than before. We maintain, monitor and evolve your system — and every repair makes it stronger.
You get → Support, SLAs & roadmap
