Website Development

Modern Websites & Web Applications

Websites and web applications that are still quick and still editable a year later: a data model that was thought about, typed code on top of it, and an interface that does not fall apart on a phone.

Capabilities

What We Build for the Web

A five-page company site and a platform with its own API are assembled the same way, just at different scales. Here is the range.

  • Business & Corporate Websites

    The site a customer finds first: who you are, what you sell, how to reach you. Sensible markup, menus that work from a keyboard, and a structure your own team can edit later without calling us for a paragraph change.

  • Custom Web Applications

    Tools that live in a browser and exist to do one job well. We model the records, forms, permissions and reports on the way the work is genuinely done — including the awkward exceptions everybody forgets to mention until week three.

  • SaaS Frontends

    The front of a subscription product: signing up, getting started, managing an account, switching a plan, seeing only what your role allows. Built as a typed component library, so the tenth screen costs a fraction of the first.

  • Admin Panels & Dashboards

    The unglamorous screens your own staff open every morning. Search that finds things, filters that stick, bulk actions, an audit trail, and charts that answer a question rather than decorate the page.

  • API-Driven Platforms

    For systems where the website is only one of the things calling in. Versioned REST endpoints, payloads checked at the boundary, errors that are predictable enough to code against, and documentation an outside developer can use without a meeting.

  • E-commerce Solutions

    Catalogue, cart, checkout and the order handling behind it, with payment and courier services wired in through their own APIs. Stock, pricing and tax live in exactly one place, because two places is how a shop quietly starts selling at the wrong price.

  • Backend Development

    Servers, business rules, sign-in and the jobs that run at two in the morning. Schemas get indexes and a migration path in the first week, so growing from a thousand rows to a million is a planning exercise instead of an outage.

  • Maintenance & Support

    What happens after launch day: dependency updates, fixes, small improvements, and someone paying attention when production misbehaves. The same version control and review applies as during the build — maintenance is not an excuse to start editing files on the server.

Engineering standards

Built to Hold Up After Launch

Going live is the easy day. Four things decide whether the site is still fast, still safe and still worth editing twelve months on, so we settle them at the start instead of arguing about them later.

Responsive Development

We start at the narrow end. A phone gets a layout designed for a phone, not a desktop grid folded up until it fits. The same set of widths is re-checked on every build rather than eyeballed once before launch.

  • Verified at 320, 375, 430, 768, 1024, 1280 and 1440 pixels and above
  • Fluid type and spacing scales instead of fixed jumps between breakpoints
  • Touch targets sized for fingers rather than cursors
  • Wide tables and rails scroll inside themselves, never sideways off the page

Performance

Speed is a budget we work inside, not a clean-up task. We watch what the browser actually downloads and how long the visitor actually waits, and we keep both honest as features pile up — which is when sites normally get slow.

  • Payload kept small: code splitting, modern image formats, fonts loaded deliberately
  • Rendering strategy chosen per page, from static output to server rendering
  • Explicit caching rules at the edge and in the browser
  • Core Web Vitals measured during development and treated as defects when they regress

Security-Conscious Architecture

Input validated, sessions handled properly, access limited to what a role needs, dependencies kept current, HTTPS and sensible headers. None of that is exotic. The difference is applying it everywhere by default rather than wherever somebody remembered.

  • Input validated on the server at every boundary, never in the browser alone
  • Authentication and session handling built on established libraries and patterns
  • Least-privilege access to databases, storage and third-party services
  • Dependencies tracked and updated, with secrets kept out of the repository
  • HTTPS throughout, with security headers configured at the edge

Maintainable Code

Most of a product’s life is spent being edited by someone who did not write it. We build for that person — whether they sit with us or with you — so a change takes an afternoon and its effects are obvious.

  • TypeScript throughout, so an interface change surfaces at compile time
  • Screens composed from shared components rather than restyled page by page
  • Git from the first commit, with reviewed changes and a readable history
  • Setup, environment and deployment documented, with a handover that leaves you able to run it

  • React
  • TypeScript

Backend & data

  • Node.js
  • Laravel
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • Firebase

Cloud

  • AWS
  • Google Cloud

How we work

From Requirement to Live Website

The same four stages whether it is a brochure site or a platform with an admin panel behind it. Each ends with something you can open in a browser and judge for yourself.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We learn how the work is done today, who does it, and what the software actually has to change. Nothing is estimated before this is written down.

  2. 02

    Design & Plan

    Screens, data model and architecture are agreed on paper, then broken into milestones you can recognise and sign off individually.

  3. 03

    Develop & Test

    Code is written in reviewable pieces and tested as it goes — behaviour, edge cases, and how it holds up on a mid-range phone or a slow connection.

  4. 04

    Launch & Support

    We handle the release, hand over the code and the documentation, and stay available for fixes and the next round of changes.
