Bespoke Development
Custom Web Application Development
Replace spreadsheets, manual processes, and disconnected tools with a bespoke web application built around how your business actually works. Secure, scalable, and yours to own.
Software that fits your business, not the other way around
Off-the-shelf software forces you to adapt your processes. Custom software adapts to you.
Whether you're managing a fleet of vehicles, processing bookings, tracking inventory, or coordinating field teams—if your current tools aren't keeping up, a bespoke application can transform how you operate.
We build web applications using Laravel, the industry-leading PHP framework trusted by companies worldwide. Your application will be fast, secure, and maintainable for years to come.

Case Study
Fleet management system for Corr Brothers
Corr Brothers, one of Northern Ireland's leading transport companies, were managing 50+ vehicles using spreadsheets and paper forms. Compliance tracking was time-consuming and error-prone.
We built a custom Laravel application that handles daily vehicle inspections, compliance tracking, driver management, and regulatory reporting. Mobile-responsive forms let drivers complete checks on their phones, with photo capture for defects.

FAQs
Common questions
How long does a typical project take?
Most business applications take 10-16 weeks from kickoff to launch. Simpler tools can be ready in 6-8 weeks, while complex enterprise systems may take 20+ weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline during our discovery session.
Do you provide hosting?
Yes. We offer managed hosting on UK-based servers through simontodd.host, starting at £55/month for applications. This includes security updates, backups, monitoring, and technical support. Alternatively, We can deploy to your own infrastructure or preferred cloud provider.
What happens after launch?
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support for bug fixes and minor adjustments. Beyond that, most clients opt for a maintenance retainer (from £150/month) for ongoing support, updates, and feature development. You're never locked in—you own the code and can take it elsewhere if needed.
Can you integrate with our existing systems?
Almost certainly. We've integrated with accounting packages (Xero, Sage), CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce), payment providers (Stripe, PayPal), shipping services, and countless industry-specific systems. If it has an API, we can connect to it.
What if our requirements change during development?
That's normal and expected. Agile development means we can adapt as you learn more about what you need. Small changes are absorbed within the project; larger scope changes are quoted separately so you always know the cost before committing.
Do we own the code?
Yes, 100%. Upon final payment, you receive full ownership of all custom code, designs, and documentation. The only exception is open-source components (like Laravel itself) which retain their original licenses.
