About — Dopara Group
A UK software studio, run by the person who builds it.
The founder builds what it sells and keeps it running — websites, databases and the systems behind them, for established UK firms.
Meet the founder
Ben Makin.
Dopara Group started when my other business, Tiber Course, needed a website. I built it myself — first the site, then the backend that runs the courses behind it — and enjoyed the building more than I expected. Especially the backend.
The first client was a UK property firm. I built them a database to get their portfolio out of spreadsheets — companies, properties, leases, financials, reminders — and they run on it every day. That build became our Proprietary Database offering, and its lessons became TenureBook, the product this studio sells today. The plan from here: professional websites, databases and systems for UK firms, built properly and run properly.
- Design & brand identity
- Website builds
- Databases & dashboards
- Backends & automations
- Hosting & day-to-day running
How it started
Three builds, in order.
Tiber Course
Built the site and the course platform behind it for my own business. Still run it today.
The first client
A full portfolio database, now in daily use at a UK property firm, plus their brand identity and website. See the case study.
Today
TenureBook as the off-the-shelf product, the Proprietary Database for firms that want it bespoke, and websites and systems for UK businesses.
How we work
Practical, not hype.
Built around you
Every system starts from how your business runs, not from a template we’re trying to resell.
Design and system together
The design and the build come from the same desk, so the two fit. One person, one joined-up system — brand, website, database, automations, kept live.
Fixed scope & price
A clear first build with a fixed cost, and optional support after launch.
You own it
The system belongs to your business, not to us.
