Web application development
Bespoke web application and website development
We build bespoke web applications and websites in Laravel and PHP for UK businesses: from brochure sites and ecommerce stores to the order management systems, customer portals and integrations that run the business behind them.
What's included
Everything a working website needs
Whether you need a shop window or a system your business runs on, it's the same team and the same standard.
Traditional websites
Visually striking, user-friendly sites optimised for performance — corporate sites, blogs and informational portals that reflect your brand and meet your objectives.
Ecommerce websites
Fully transactional stores giving customers a seamless shopping experience, integrated with Stripe, Sage Pay and PayPal for secure, efficient payments.
Content management
Update and manage your content without technical expertise, making real-time changes that keep the site fresh and relevant.
Order management
Handle customer orders, quotes and transactions from a single dashboard, keeping operations smooth and customer service sharp.
Payment integration
Connect to the leading UK payment gateways so customers can pay the way they prefer, with the security they expect.
Support & maintenance
We keep your site current and performing rather than handing it over and disappearing.
How we work
How a web development project runs
We take a collaborative, consultative approach to every project, so what we build is shaped by your business rather than our assumptions.
Step one
Meet and discuss
We sit down with you to understand your vision, goals and requirements, listening carefully to your ideas and concerns before anything is built.
Step two
Develop a tailored solution
We design and build something shaped around how your business actually works, giving expert guidance on direction as we go.
Step three
Review and improve
We review the result with you and refine it on your feedback, so the finished product exceeds what you expected rather than merely meeting the brief.
In person, by video call or on the phone, whichever suits you.

Web development questions
What is the difference between a website and a web application?
A website mainly presents information to visitors. A web application lets people do work through the browser: place and track orders, raise quotes, manage customers, book jobs or log in to a portal. Many of our projects are both, with a public website in front of a web application that runs the business behind it.
Why do you build in Laravel?
Laravel is a mature, widely used PHP framework with strong security features and a large pool of developers. Building on one stack we know deeply means your application stays fast, secure and maintainable for years.
Can you build an ecommerce site that connects to our back office?
Yes. We build ecommerce sites with Stripe, PayPal and Opayo (formerly SagePay) payments that feed orders straight into an order management system, and on into accounting software such as QuickBooks or Sage.
Can a web application work alongside a mobile app?
Yes. The same system can power a web application for the office and a mobile app for staff in the field, as it does for M&A Doocey's job management.
Do you host and maintain what you build?
Yes. We offer fully managed hosting on Amazon Web Services, with monitoring, security updates and ongoing development from the team that built the site.
How much does a bespoke web application cost?
It depends on what it needs to do, how many systems it connects to and how many types of user it serves. We give you a clear estimate after an initial conversation, and deliver in stages so you can start with the parts that save the most time.
