Web Applications Development

We build modern, reliable web apps that engage your customers and work intuitively with your data

If you’re in the planning stages of creating a piece of software for your business you may have considered it being an application that users can open up on their native device or via their browser.

Of course sometimes the answer might be obvious, but sometimes it is not. We’ve been building web apps for over twenty years and can help you make the right decision about the direction your business software should take.

The majority of software projects we take on turn out to be developed as web apps which is testament to their versatility, relative simplicity to and ability to control them.

What is a web app?

Rather than running on the operating system of a device, web apps run on a server and are accessed through a browser. Whereas a ‘native’ (or mobile) app is built for specific platforms and operating systems.

Being informed on the difference between a native and web app is important as it will affect how your users or customers experience your business and its offering. There are pros and cons to both so it all depends on your audience, functionality, your budget and how you plan to maintain it.

Benefits of a web app

When would we recommend using a web app?

Maintenance: If you’re looking for a less complex way of keeping on top of your software, then that could be a factor in choosing a web app over a native app. As web apps use common coding languages like PHP, HTML and Javascript it means they can be built and updated more quickly and easily.

Cost: As web apps use common coding languages, the builds are less complicated and time consuming. This will lower costs comparatively to an app.

Updates: Users will always see the most up to date version of your web app as it will automatically update.

Access: Your web app doesn’t need to be approved by an app store or marketplace so it can be released as and when you choose.
