What we build on the web

Every project starts from a real need. These are the kinds of web products we design and develop.

  • Corporate websites

    A credible, well-structured home for your organization, its services and its story.

  • Business websites

    Clear service and product pages that help customers understand what you offer and contact you.

  • E-commerce websites

    Online stores with catalogs, carts and payments, connected to how you handle stock and orders.

  • Booking platforms

    Online scheduling for appointments, reservations and services, with confirmations and admin control.

  • Customer portals

    Secure areas where customers view accounts, submit requests and track progress without calling you.

  • Dashboards

    Live views of the numbers and activity that managers need to make decisions.

  • Internal portals

    Private tools for staff to find information, complete tasks and move work between teams.

  • Membership platforms

    Sign-ups, member records, access levels and recurring payments for associations and clubs.

  • Marketplaces

    Platforms where multiple sellers or providers list offerings and customers transact with them.

  • Custom web applications

    Purpose-built software that runs in the browser and fits a process no off-the-shelf tool covers.

A website and a web application are different things

Knowing which one you need is the first and most useful decision. It shapes the timeline, the team and the cost.

Website

Presents information to visitors. Content is mostly read, and changes are made by a small number of people.

  • Pages for services, about, contact and similar content
  • Contact forms and basic enquiries
  • Content you update occasionally
  • No user accounts or business logic required

Web application

Lets people do things. Users sign in, create and change data, and the system enforces rules behind the scenes.

  • User accounts, roles and permissions
  • A database that stores and processes records
  • Workflows such as approvals, orders or bookings
  • Admin tools, reports and often payments

What shapes the scope of a project

We do not quote from a template. These factors determine how much work a web project involves, and we go through them with you before anything is agreed.

  • Number of pages
  • Design complexity
  • Features
  • Number and type of users
  • Admin requirements
  • Database requirements
  • Payments
  • Integrations
  • Hosting and infrastructure
