About
An independent studio with serious engineering behind it.
Laputa Labs is a boutique software studio founded in 2024. We work with small and growing businesses to build the kind of web presence that genuinely serves them — fast, professional, and built to last. We also maintain a senior contracted engineering presence at Global Cyber Alliance, embedded directly in their engineering team.
The roster stays deliberately short. Every project gets our full attention, and we intend to keep it that way.
What we do
Web presence for growing businesses
We build bespoke websites and digital products for small and medium-sized businesses — the kind that are fast, SEO-ready, mobile-first, and actually reflect the quality of the business behind them. From first conversation to launch and beyond, we handle everything.
Senior contracted engineering
Scott currently works as a senior contractor embedded in the engineering team at Global Cyber Alliance, contributing to the infrastructure and tooling that underpins internet routing security for networks worldwide. This kind of deep engagement is what keeps the technical standards sharp.
The founder
Scott Enock is a senior software engineer with over seven years of experience across the full stack. Before founding Laputa Labs, he held senior and lead engineering roles at WealthWizards (fintech) and Domestic & General (insurance) — regulated, high-stakes environments where reliability and delivery pace both matter.
He founded Laputa Labs in September 2024 — a small studio, a short client list, and a genuine interest in the outcome of every project. Not just the launch.
Services
What we bring
Everything a growing business needs to build a credible, high-performing online presence — no agency overhead, no handoffs, no guesswork.
Web design & development
Custom-built websites designed around your business, not a template someone else picked. Fast, mobile-first, and built to make a strong first impression — because most of your customers will judge you in under three seconds.
Search engine optimisation
Getting found on Google isn't magic — it's the result of clean code, the right content structure, and a technically sound site. We build SEO in from the start, so you're not paying to fix it later.
Security
Security isn't an afterthought here — it's built into every layer. From secure hosting configurations and HTTPS to input validation and dependency management, your site won't become someone else's problem. We work alongside the Global Cyber Alliance; we take this seriously.
Data & integrations
Need your site to connect to a booking system, CRM, payment provider, or internal database? We handle the plumbing — clean data models, reliable integrations, and systems that won't fall over when they're under load.
Performance
Slow websites lose customers — Google says 53% of mobile visitors leave if a page takes more than 3 seconds. We optimise for real-world performance: fast load times, high Lighthouse scores, and a smooth experience on every device.
Ongoing support
Websites need care after launch — content updates, security patches, dependency upgrades, new features. We stay involved. One point of contact who already knows your setup, no ticket queues, no starting from scratch every time.
