Custom Web Applications
Dashboards, portals, and platforms built end-to-end
Some things a brochure site can't do. If you need users to log in, interact with data, make bookings, track things, or run a proper tool, you're looking at a web application. That's a different job to a website. Full-stack work, databases, authentication, the lot.
What's included
From £1,000- Scoping and architecture planning
- Full-stack build: frontend, backend, database
- User authentication and roles
- API development and integration
- Admin panel for managing your own data (content, users, etc)
- Hosting setup and deployment
- Documentation for your team
- Handover call
Base pricing reflects a focused MVP with a clear scope. Most web app projects expand from there. Read on.
What typically extends the scope
Things that bump the quote up, in plain English.
- More complex data models and business logic
- Multiple user types with different permissions
- Payment and subscription management (Stripe, etc)
- Third-party integrations (CRMs, ERPs, email platforms, analytics)
- Mobile-optimised or PWA builds
- Background jobs, scheduled tasks, notifications
- Advanced reporting and dashboards
- Data migration from existing systems
- Ongoing feature work after launch
Every app project is scoped carefully first so there's a real fixed price, not a guess. Happy to do a phased approach where the MVP launches first and extensions come later.

Testing with you or your team
Deployment and handover
Optional ongoing support for feature work and maintenance
Real work
Case study: Language Link International
A language services business needed a full front and back-end platform to manage bookings, clients, and resources. Migrated from a Wix setup onto a proper application with authentication, admin tools, and a public-facing site. Built end to end, with ongoing improvements as the business grows.
Visit the siteCommon questions
- How long does a web app project take?
- Depends on scope. MVPs are typically 4 to 8 weeks. Bigger builds can run into months and usually get phased into launchable chunks.
- What tech stack do you use?
- Typically Next.js for the frontend, Node.js or Supabase for the backend, Postgres for the database, and Vercel for hosting. Happy to work with a different stack if you've already got infrastructure.
- Who owns the code?
- You do. I hand over the codebase, hosting setup, and admin credentials at the end.
- What if I need changes after launch?
- Feature work and bug fixes go through me, either as scoped mini-projects with fixed prices or via a monthly support retainer. Admin panel changes (content, users, data) you can do yourself. We'd agree the model up front.
- Can you work with my existing team?
- Yes. Happy to integrate into an existing team, follow your processes, and use your tools (Jira, Linear, Slack, whatever).
