What counts as a web application?

A tool in the browser that people sign in to, or a workflow that has to save their work. A handful of marketing pages is a website. We will tell you which one you are buying.

Do you host the application too?

Yes. The build includes hosting, the same way a custom website does. Your team gets a handover for the parts they should change themselves.

What if this needs to talk to our other systems?

Say so at the start. Integrations are part of the spec. A large platform is scoped with our software work, not hidden inside a brochure site.

Custom website builds and hosting

Custom web application development

Some businesses need more than pages. A customer login, a portal, or a workflow in the browser is a web application. We build that and host it.

Scope a web application

When a website is not the whole job

A marketing site explains the business. A web application does a job: a customer checks an order, a partner submits a form that has to land in your system, a team works a queue in the browser.

We scope that job before we build. If it is a few pages and a form, it stays a website. If people sign in and the screen has to remember their work, it is an application.

Accounts, forms, and workflows that a static page cannot hold
Hosting for the application after it ships

How this sits next to software work

A web application with a serious backend, integrations, or a long life is also software engineering. The website engagement covers the customer-facing build and the hosting. A larger platform is scoped as software, with the same spec, budget, and timeline.
