Custom web apps
The internal system or client-facing platform your business actually runs on — designed around your workflow, not a template.
When spreadsheets, shared inboxes, and off-the-shelf SaaS stop fitting how your team works, we build the system that does. We start with the data model and the workflow, then ship a web app your team will actually use — and we host it on infrastructure that won't fall over when you grow.
Is this for you?
Sounds familiar?
If a few of these ring true, this is the service that fixes it.
- Your team runs critical work out of spreadsheets that only one person really understands
- You're paying for three SaaS tools that each do 60% of what you need — and none of them talk to each other
- Finding a file, a quote, or a project's status means asking someone instead of looking it up
- Clients or suppliers email you things that should be a form, a portal, or a dashboard
- You've outgrown an old system and every change to it feels risky
What we build
What this looks like in practice
Internal tools & CRMs
Project management, lead tracking, job boards, talent pools — the admin systems your team lives in every day, shaped around the way they already work.
Client & supplier portals
Secure, login-based portals where clients submit requests, suppliers upload bids, and everyone sees the status without an email chain.
B2B platforms & catalogues
Product catalogues with parametric search, quote-request workflows, and admin panels that let your team manage thousands of records without a developer.
Workflow & approval systems
Multistep forms, document versioning, sign-offs, and audit trails — for processes like RFQs, procurement, and contract renewals that need to be traceable.
Dashboards & reporting
One view across projects, pipelines, or operations, pulled from your live data instead of pieced together from spreadsheets every Monday.
Rebuilds & migrations
Moving off a legacy system or a tangle of tools onto something maintainable, with your existing data carried across cleanly.
How it runs
- 01
Scope the workflow
We map how work actually moves through your team today — who touches what, where it stalls — and agree what version one must do.
- 02
Design the data model
Before any screens, we define the records, relationships, and permissions. Getting this right is what keeps the app easy to extend later.
- 03
Build in weekly increments
You get a working staging link early and see progress every week, so feedback shapes the build instead of arriving after it.
- 04
Launch & hand over
We migrate your data, deploy to production, train your team, and stay on to fix, extend, and monitor what we shipped.
Included as standard
- Role-based logins and permissions
- Admin panel for managing your own data
- Responsive design that works on desktop and mobile
- Cloud hosting setup (AWS or shared hosting, to fit budget)
- CI/CD pipeline and automated backups
- Data migration from your existing tools
- Team walkthrough and handover docs
- Post-launch support window
Proof
Where we've done this before
BAK Engineering
A project management system built for a civil/structural engineering consultancy, covering tasks, teams, files, and their talent pipeline.
Neogenix
A cloud-hosted RFQ and procurement platform that replaced manual, email-based sourcing with a structured digital workflow.
B2B Electronics Catalogue
A parametric product catalogue and quotation platform for electronics distribution, built to scale on shared hosting.
Why custom instead of an off-the-shelf tool?
Off-the-shelf is often the right call, and we'll tell you if it is. Custom makes sense when your workflow is what sets you apart, when you're stitching several tools together to approximate one, or when per-seat SaaS pricing starts costing more than owning the system.
Laravel or Next.js — which will you use?
It depends on the project. Laravel is excellent for data-heavy admin systems and runs happily on affordable hosting. Next.js suits highly interactive, client-facing interfaces. We'll recommend one during scoping and explain why.
Do we own the code?
Yes. The code, the database, and the hosting accounts are yours. If you ever want to move to another team, you can take everything with you.
Can you work with our existing system?
Usually, yes. We can extend an existing app, integrate with it through its API, or migrate its data into a new build — whichever makes the most sense for your situation.
