Web applications
Custom web apps for the way your business actually works
Dashboards, customer portals, booking systems and internal tools, built for your workflow instead of forcing your team into someone else’s software.
Spreadsheets are where good processes go to hide
Most businesses we talk to run on a mix of spreadsheets, email threads and three or four subscriptions that almost do what they need. It works until the team grows, a key person goes on holiday, or a customer asks for something nobody can find.
A custom web app turns that process into one place: the right people see the right information, repetitive steps happen automatically, and you have a record of who did what and when. It runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install, and it works on phones as well as desktops.
What we build
Every web app is different, but most combine a few familiar pieces:
- Secure login with roles, so staff, customers and admins each see their own view
- Dashboards and reports pulled from live data
- Booking, scheduling and job management workflows
- Customer and supplier portals
- File uploads, PDF generation and email notifications
- Payments and subscriptions where the app is the product
Engineering you can rely on
We build web apps on proven, mainstream technology: Next.js and React on the front end, .NET or Node.js APIs, and PostgreSQL. Everything runs in Docker containers with automated tests and deployments, so updates go out safely and can be rolled back in seconds.
Security is part of the design, not a final checklist. That means encrypted connections, hashed passwords, rate limiting, audit logs and careful handling of personal information under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.
We run our own products on exactly this setup. Hire Doris, our AI recruitment platform, and Familiagram, a private family tree app, are both live production systems we designed, built and operate.
Start small, then grow
You do not have to build everything at once. We usually ship the core workflow first, get it into your team’s hands and improve it based on how people actually use it. If you are testing a brand-new product idea, our MVP development service is the faster, leaner version of this.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a custom web app cost?
Web apps start from the price shown on this page, before GST. The final cost depends on the number of user roles, workflows and integrations. The quote builder itemises the common ones.
Who owns the code?
You do. On final payment the source code and data belong to your business, and everything is documented so another developer could pick it up.
Can the app connect to software we already use?
Usually, yes. Most modern tools have an API, and we connect accounting, CRM, email, calendar and payment systems regularly.
Do you provide support after launch?
Yes. We offer ongoing hosting, monitoring and support so bugs get fixed quickly and the app keeps up with your business.
