Custom web applications, built around how your business works

Off-the-shelf software gets you most of the way. The last part, the step your team handles in a spreadsheet or by email, is usually where the time goes. We build the client portals, quoting tools, booking systems and internal dashboards that close that gap, and connect them to the software you already pay for.

Is this you?

  • Work goes through spreadsheets and email. Quotes, bookings or approvals rely on someone copying data between systems, and mistakes cost money.
  • Your clients want to log in. They're asking for a portal to see their orders, documents or project status instead of emailing you.
  • Your current system is holding you back. An older PHP application still runs the business, but every change is slow and risky.

What we build

Business applications in PHP and Laravel

Client portals, quoting and booking engines, and internal admin tools. We use Laravel when a project needs the structure, and plain PHP when a framework would only add weight. Role-based access, audit trails, queues, scheduled jobs and reporting are included as standard.

Web apps and dashboards in React and Next.js

Fast front ends for dashboards that handle real data and marketing sites that need to rank. Server-rendered, static or a mix, chosen for what the project needs. Written in TypeScript and documented at handover.

APIs, integrations and automation

The layer that connects your website to your CRM, payment provider, ERP or accounting software. REST APIs, webhook handlers and scheduled syncs, with retry logic and alerts so a failed sync is fixed before it becomes a support ticket.

Database design and legacy modernization

Schema design for new systems, and careful migrations for old ones. If a legacy application runs your business, we can move it onto a modern stack in stages, without a risky all-at-once switchover.

Every application ships with

  • Role-based access control and an audit trail of who changed what
  • Automated backups and a documented restore process
  • Security headers, current dependencies and input validation throughout
  • Error monitoring, so problems are caught before users report them
  • Technical documentation your in-house or future team can follow
  • Full ownership of the code and intellectual property

Pricing

Most custom applications are delivered as a fixed-price project from $2,500, typically over 4 to 12 weeks. For products that keep evolving, a dedicated developer from $4,800/month is usually better value.

FAQ

Web application FAQ

WordPress suits content-led sites with a few extras. Laravel suits applications with users, roles and business rules. React or Next.js suits interfaces that need to feel instant. We'll recommend one in the scope and explain why.
