What kinds of web apps and tools do you build?

Dashboards that pull data from several systems, client and partner portals, internal tools that replace spreadsheets and email chains, quote and pricing calculators, workflow and approval systems, and integrations between the tools you already use. If it is a process that should be software, we can scope it.

How does the process work?

You describe what you want to build, in your own words. We meet to talk it through, then we agree the scope in writing: what gets built, the timeline and the price. Only then do we start coding, in stages you can see, with your feedback built in. After testing and review, it goes live and we hand it over with training.

How long does it take to build a web app?

It depends on the size and complexity of what you need. A focused tool can come together much faster than a platform with many roles and integrations. We give you a timeline and milestones in the scope, before any code is written, so you know what to expect and when.

How much does a custom web app cost?

It depends on the features, the number of user roles, the integrations and the amount of data involved. We agree the price in the scope, after a meeting and before we start coding, so you pay for what was agreed and there are no surprises. If you want a first view before the meeting, the brief on this page is the place to start.

What technology do you use?

We choose the stack for the job, with modern tools such as React and Next.js, APIs and databases, and the integrations your business needs. The decision depends on what you are building, who will maintain it and how it needs to scale, and we explain the trade-offs in plain language during the meeting.

Can it connect to the tools we already use?

Yes. Integrations are a core part of most builds: your CRM, payment system, spreadsheets, online store, website and analytics. We connect them through their APIs and test them end to end, so data moves automatically instead of being copied by hand.

Security is part of the build, not an add-on. That includes secure logins, role-based permissions so people only see what they should, careful handling of sensitive data and testing before launch. We discuss your specific security and compliance needs in the scoping meeting.

What if I need a website as well?

Websites are part of what we do, and they live with Webtec Premium: a full custom site with ongoing business growth online and premium features. Many clients start with a tool and add the site, or the other way round. We can scope both together so they work as one system.

Do you build mobile apps?

This service is about web apps and tools that run in the browser, which work on phones and desktops. Native mobile apps are a different kind of project, so talk to us about what you need and we will tell you honestly what fits.

What do you need from me to start?

A description of what you want to build and the problem it solves, in your own words, and a few minutes of your time for the scoping meeting. If you can tell us who will use it, which systems are involved and what is painful today, the scope gets sharper. Everything else is ours.

webtec ask "What is custom web app development?"

Custom web app development is building software that runs in the browser and is designed around one business: its process, its data and its people. Examples include dashboards, client portals, internal tools, quote calculators and workflow systems. Instead of bending your process to fit an off-the-shelf tool, we build the tool to fit the way you work.

webtec ask "What is the difference between a web app and a website?"

A website mostly presents information to visitors. A web app does something: it takes input, processes data, remembers users and shows each person what is relevant to them. If you need logins, live data, calculations, workflows or integrations, you need a web app. If you need a site that attracts and converts customers, you want a website, and that is what Webtec Premium is for.
