Custom web apps
Why you need a custom web app.
Every growing business hits a point where manual processes stop scaling. Spreadsheets scattered across drives, communication lost in email, statuses forgotten, duplicate data, hours wasted on repetitive tasks. Generic tools off the market solve 60% of the problem, but the remaining 40% costs more than it's worth, in monthly subscriptions, inefficiency and frustration. A custom web app solves your exact problem, automates the repetitive bits and turns your processes into a competitive advantage.
We build web apps on Laravel, Next.js and Vue, designed to grow with your business. Whether you need a SaaS platform to sell to your own clients, an internal dashboard that keeps all your data in one place, a booking system with automated notifications, or a custom workflow that ties multiple systems together. We work with founders, startups and mid-sized companies that understand software isn't a cost, it's a lever.
What you get with a web app from us.
Every project is built on solid foundations: security, scalability, monitoring and long-term maintenance.
We build the app so it can handle 100 or 100,000 users without major rewrites.
Secure login, 2FA, SSO, roles and granular permissions. Every user sees only what they should.
A complete control panel for you: users, data, settings, stats, all in one place.
Documented API that enables integrations with other systems and mobile apps without rewriting anything.
We connect the app with CRMs, ERPs, payment systems, marketing tools or anything in your stack.
WebSockets, push notifications, email and SMS. Users find out what matters instantly.
Excel, CSV, PDF, JSON. Easy migration from old systems and export for reporting or audit.
See who did what and when. Useful for security, compliance and quick debugging.
Automated CI/CD deploys, auto-scaling, global CDN. Vercel, Laravel Cloud or private cloud.
HTTPS, database-level encryption, OWASP Top 10, periodic security audits.
Sentry, uptime monitoring, centralized logs. We hear about issues before you do.
Updates, fixes, optimizations and tech consulting. We stick around for the long run.

How we work
We don't invent new methodologies on every project. We have a clear, five-step process we've followed for 19 years. You always know where we are and what's next.
We sit down together, understand your business, goals, and audience. We come out with a clear brief and a realistic budget.
Wireframes first, then custom design. We iterate with you until the look and flow feel right before we write a single line of code.
Clean, modern, tested code. You get access to a live staging environment where you can follow progress in real time.
Production migration, SEO checks, Core Web Vitals, analytics tracking. We only launch when everything is green.
We don't disappear after launch. Maintenance, updates, new features, whatever you need to grow.

Client stories.
I worked with The Web Design Company for 6 months on different projects and I can recommend them with confidence. They commit fully to the project they're working on and make sure every detail in the brief is delivered exactly to your requirements. We had some really tight, important deadlines, and every time they came through with results above our expectations.
John McClelland
Senior Product Manager – SoundCloud
The Web Design Company team turned out to be true professionals. They delivered the project on time and exactly to our specs. Throughout the collaboration, everyone involved was incredibly attentive to detail, and the final result was exactly what we had in mind.
Mirona Păun
Clinical Psychologist & Psychotherapist
We sent them some abstract user experience concepts that they managed to turn into a perfectly functional app, tailored to our audience (Chicago, IL). Tasks were finished and delivered on time and consistently. Communication, one of their strongest points, was a big reason the project turned out a success.
Skylar Roebuck
Chief Technology Officer – Solvd
They understood my needs perfectly. They built exactly the website I wanted. Both the design and the code are executed "clean" and well organized. Very happy with the result!
Mátyás Fábián
Software Developer – ClujBus.ro
The Web Design Company team did an outstanding job branding our startup and coming up with our initial prototype designs.
Patrick Denney
CTO – Envoy Innovations
The Web Design Company team pays close attention to detail. They're resourceful and brought great ideas to the table. They're the kind of people who actually want to understand the client and see the vision. I was really happy to work with them and I'd do it again.

FAQ.
An MVP (working prototype) ships in 4-8 weeks. A complete, production-ready app in 8-16 weeks. For complex enterprise platforms, we discuss a realistic timeline at the first call, depending on scope. We always prefer to ship in fast iterations with weekly demos rather than dump a giant product after 6 months.
Depends on complexity. For Standard apps, monthly maintenance starts at €200/month (minor updates, monitoring, backups, support). For complex platforms, we recommend a dedicated retainer that also includes ongoing development. With the Enterprise package, the first 3 months of maintenance are included.
We work in 2-week sprints with demos and feedback. New requirements (scope creep) are discussed transparently: if they fit the budget and timeline, we include them. If not, we put them on the roadmap for a later version. You never get hit with a surprise invoice at the end.
You. At the end we hand over all the code, documentation and full repository access. We're not locked into each other. If one day you want to move the project to another team, you can. That's real trust.
We set up full CI/CD: any commit to the main branch deploys automatically to staging, and production deploys are automated or one-click manual. We use Vercel, Laravel Cloud or our own infrastructure, depending on requirements.
Yes. We work with SAP, Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Smart Bill, Oblio, Stripe, Mailchimp, Slack and many others. If your system has an API, we integrate. If not, we can build middleware to bridge the gap.
We build apps on cloud-native architecture: auto-scaling instances, queues for heavy tasks, caching for repeated requests, global CDN for assets. Our apps handle 100 to 100,000 users without rewrites.
Yes. The typical process includes a tech audit of the current app, a migration plan with minimal downtime, data migration, temporary parallel running (old + new) and a controlled switch-over. We guarantee no data loss and a transition that's transparent to users.
