Custom Web & Mobile Applications

Custom web and mobile application development.

We plan and develop customer portals, booking systems, internal tools and other database-driven applications.

When this service is relevant

Problems this work can address.

We design and build software for work that an ordinary business website or off-the-shelf platform cannot handle well. A project might be a customer portal, booking system, internal operations tool, mobile application or a product built around a specialist service.

Customers need to book, submit, manage or retrieve information through a secure account.
An essential internal process has outgrown spreadsheets and shared inboxes.
Available software does not fit the workflow or creates too much manual work around it.
An existing web or mobile application has become difficult to maintain or extend.

Project priorities

What we agree before work begins.

The scope defines the practical changes the project is expected to make. These are the priorities we would normally discuss for this type of work.

A first release defined around the people who will use it and the job they need to complete.

Working prototypes that resolve important workflow questions before full development.

A maintainable application connected to the required data and business systems.

A realistic plan for launch, support and later development.

What the work involves

How custom application development works.

The exact work depends on the existing setup and the requirement. We establish those facts before choosing a platform, integration or technical method.

Requirements and scope

We define the users, workflows, information and integrations the first release needs. Features without a clear purpose are left for later or removed from the scope.

UX and prototyping

Interactive prototypes allow staff and customers to work through the main tasks before the more expensive development stage begins.

Development and release

We build the application in reviewable stages, test the full workflow and support the release. Further development is based on actual use rather than assumptions made at the start.

Relevant experience

Projects involving similar work.

Each case study describes the client requirement, the part we concentrated on and what the finished product does.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Do we need a complete specification?

No. A clear problem is more useful than a long feature list. We help you work out the rest.

Can you start with a prototype?

Yes. A prototype lets us test the main workflow and resolve questions before building the full product.

What happens after launch?

We can stay involved to fix issues, learn from use and plan the next sensible improvement.
