The Power of Custom Web Applications

We design web applications tailored to the needs of different business sectors.

Off-the-shelf software often falls short when it comes to meeting specific business needs. Generic solutions force you to adapt your processes to the software, rather than the other way around.

Many businesses struggle with inefficient workflows, disconnected systems, and manual processes that waste time and resources. A custom web application can solve these challenges by providing a tailored solution that fits your exact requirements.

Transform Your Business Operations

A well-designed web application can automate complex workflows, integrate disparate systems, and provide real-time insights that drive better decision-making. Whether you need a customer portal, internal management system, or SaaS product, the right web application can revolutionize how you work.

Whether you're looking to build a complex enterprise system or a customer-facing web app, our expert development team can create a solution that perfectly matches your business needs and scales with your growth.

We specialize in developing robust, secure web applications using modern technologies and architectures. From single-page applications to multi-tenant SaaS platforms, we deliver solutions that are reliable, maintainable, and built for the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about web application development? Here are answers to the most common queries we receive:

How much does web application development cost in the UK? +

Web application development costs in the UK typically range from £15,000-£40,000 for basic apps, £40,000-£100,000 for mid-range applications with multiple integrations, and £100,000-£300,000+ for enterprise-level platforms. The final cost depends on complexity, features, integrations, and scalability requirements. We offer fixed-price quotes for well-defined projects.

How long does it take to build a custom web application? +

Development timelines vary based on complexity. Basic web applications take 2-3 months, mid-range applications with multiple features take 4-6 months, and enterprise platforms can take 6-12 months. We use agile methodology with 2-4 week sprints so you see progress throughout and can provide feedback at every stage.

What technologies do you use for web application development?+

We select technologies based on your specific requirements. Common choices include React, Vue.js, or Angular for frontends, Node.js, Python, or .NET for backends, and PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or SQL Server for databases. All applications are deployed on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud for reliability and scalability.

Do you provide ongoing support after launch?+

Yes, we provide SLA-backed support and maintenance packages including bug fixes, security updates, performance monitoring, and feature enhancements. Most of our clients have worked with us for 5+ years, continuously improving their applications as their business evolves.

Can you integrate with our existing systems?+

Absolutely. We regularly integrate web applications with accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage), CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot), ERPs, payment gateways, and custom databases. If there's an API, we can integrate with it. We also build custom APIs to connect legacy systems.

What is the difference between a web application and a website?+

A website primarily displays information and has limited user interaction (like a brochure or blog). A web application is interactive software accessed through a browser that allows users to perform tasks, manage data, and complete workflows — like online banking, CRM systems, project management tools, or e-commerce platforms with complex backend logic.

Do we own the code you develop?+

Yes, you own 100% of the code and intellectual property for bespoke web applications we develop. It's your software, built for your business, with no licensing fees or vendor lock-in. You're free to host it wherever you choose and modify it as needed.

How do you ensure web application security? +

Security is built in from day one. We implement encryption (at rest and in transit), secure authentication, role-based access controls, input validation, SQL injection prevention, and regular security audits. For sensitive data, we ensure GDPR compliance and can meet industry-specific requirements like PCI DSS for payment processing.
